The KRK RP8G3 ROKIT 8 G3 is an 8-inch active powered studio monitor, and is part of the KRK ROKIT Generation 3 (G3) series of studio monitors. The RP8G3 powered studio monitors offer professional performance and accuracy for recording, mixing, mastering and playback. The system consists of a 1” soft dome tweeter and 8” glass-Aramid composite woofer. It delivers high frequencies up to 35kHz, vocal clarity and extended bass response. The proprietary bi-amped, class A/B amplifier grants SPL up to 109dB. The ROKIT waveguide is designed to ensure detailed imaging in the listening position. The front-firing bass port reduces boundary coupling to allow flexible positioning in the room while the engineered surface reduces diffraction distortion. Multiple input connections ensure the ROKIT 8 G3 will easily integrate in any system configuration. For large Recording rooms and high SPL Monitor needs, the KRK ROKIT 8 G3 will deliver any detail of performance thru its large headroom.
KRK Systems is one of the world’s most respected manufacturers of studio reference monitors. In their state of the art design facility, KRK engineers create products that deliver natural and balanced spectral response with low distortion and superior imaging. KRK Studio Monitors have been the professional’s choice of recording engineers and artists for mixing and mastering hit records around the globe, as they need to hear every nuance of the audio being reproduced. KRK ROKIT Generation 3 monitors continue in this design philosophy, so regardless of your musical style, genre, or particular mixing needs, KRK Rokits deliver.
The word on the street...
"As a certified high-end monitor snob I was a bit taken aback by the performance of these reasonably-priced, compact, powered nearfield monitors. The third-generation KRK Rokit's are surprisingly good-sounding speakers, especially considering their modest cost."
"The Rokit G3's can push out stout SPLs in small to midsize rooms, and although their overall frequency response is admirably broad and reasonably flat, you can adjust the EQ balance to suit your setup and tastes. They're very solid and punchy sounding, with good detail and imaging, and a relatively wide stereo 'sweet spot.' They provide honest, accurate sound quality that most headphones, computer speakers, and 'hi-fi' systems can't come close to measuring up to; their price makes them an attractive entry point to the world of professional studio monitors."
"I'm impressed enough that in the future I'll be recommending these speakers to people who ask for suggestions about good-sounding, affordable, powered nearfields, as well as to folks on a tight budget who want to make the transition from mixing on headphones or computer speakers to using real studio monitors."
"The third-generation KRK Rokit's offers real improvements over their highly successful predecessors, and with their solid performance and entry-level price, they'd make a great pair of "first monitors" - and due to their sound quality, they are also worthy of your consideration when upgrading from lesser-quality budget monitors too. Great job KRK!"...Phil O'Keefe - multi-instrumentalist, recording engineer / producer and the Senior Editor of Harmony Central.
