KRK Rokit 5 Generation Five review

The Rokit 5 Generation Five is the most adjustable 5-inch monitor here. KRK's DSP offers three voicing modes: Mix, with flat frequency and phase response for mixing and mastering, Create for writing and casual listening, and Focus, a mid-focused voicing for checking vocals and instruments. On top of that sit 25 boundary and tuning EQ combinations, and the free KRK Audio Tools app includes a real-time room analyzer and EQ recommendation tool, which helps in an untreated bedroom. The 5-inch woven Kevlar woofer and 1-inch silk dome tweeter cover 54 Hz to 30 kHz at +/- 3 dB, with a 104 dB maximum SPL. Bi-amplified Class D amps are rated at 55 W total. Acoustic foam isolation pads ship in the box. The single XLR and TRS combo input is fine for an interface but leaves out RCA. KRK lists a 3-year warranty. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test it.
