KRK Rokit G2 RP8G2 Powered Active Monitor, 2-Way

Whether your goals as a producer include recording bands for a living or just tracking at home, you need a set of reference monitors you can trust. The KRK RP8G2 Rokit offers well-known, well-used performance for a great price.

KRK is one of the most well-respected names in home audio engineering precisely because they started off becoming respected by professionals. They've taken the ingenious design applied to their top-flight Expose line monitors, and have found a way to bring those high-performance elements to an entry level monitor. The KRK RP8G2 Rockit monitors are a great choice for accuracy, value, and user-friendliness.

The KRK RP8G2 Rockit: Easy Setup So You Can Get Going

Unlike your DAW, workstation, or multitrack, the KRK RP8G2 is easy to integrate into your setup with minimal fuss. The KRK RP8G2 is an active monitor, offering 140 watts of matched power to ensure great sound without having to compare amps. The G2s also feature easy-to-use volume and high frequency controls, so you don't have to bogged down in another set of controls as you try to get the perfect mix.

KRK RP8G2: Great Design For Your Studio

Don't worry, though - though the lack of dials may make the RP8s incapable of dealing with poor acoustics, the speakers also include a couple features you won't even find on much more expensive monitors to ensure great sound in any environment. For instance, the KRK RP8G2s feature contoured edges, which eliminate issues of sound reflection and diffraction at the edge of the cabinet. This keeps the sound crisp and clear under circumstances that would bedevil other monitors. These KRK Rokit series monitor also feature front-firing bass ports, which offer much more reliable bass response than rear-firing ports, whose performance is reliant upon having open, even space behind them. In cramped quarters, the difference between rear-firing and front-firing ports between muddy low end and satisfying thump. Advantage: KRK.

KRK RP8G2: New Drivers for Greater Clarity

The stylish yellow woofer remains, and the high-frequency neodymium tweeter has been re-voiced for even more accurate performance. The tweeter's wave-guide design has also been improved, for more directional high-end diffusion and diminished phase problems. The end result is that the RP8G2 offers a clearer, more unbiased image of your mix than ever before.

On their own, these monitors would be a great deal. However, buy a pair of KRK RP8G2s from Same Day, and we'll also offer a free pair of On-Stage SMS6000 Monitor Stands. These adjustable monitor stands make finding a good position for your monitors into a breeze. Additionally, they isolate the RP8G2s from room vibrations, for even more added clarity in any situation.

The KRK Rokit RP8G2 is the next step in a long line of successful and respected professional and home studio monitoring products. If you're shopping for your first set of studio monitors, trust in the name trusted by professional engineers around the world: KRK.

The KRK RP8G2 Rokit G2 Powered Studio Monitor gives you amazing performance and accuracy for the home or project studio. All of the great stuff that Rokit's have been known for including front-firing bass port, soft-domed tweeter, glass aramid composite yellow cone are still there, but the G2 Rokit's feature refined voicing and a new curved baffle that looks great, reduces diffraction and provides even better monitoring accuracy.

Features
Radically curved front plate design virtually eliminates diffraction distortion

Waveguide design provides amazing detail and imaging

Front-firing port provides low freq extension without boundary coupling

New speaker voicing for even more accurate frequency response

1-inch Neodymium soft dome tweeter

Glass Aramid Composite Cone Woofer

Even More Accurate Than Before
KRK engineers and listening panel took the Generation 2 Rokits' speaker voicing to even more accurate levels. What you hear is what you are intended to hear, coloration is not part of the spec. This performance is brought to you by drivers that are custom-designed by KRK's world-class studio monitor engineering team, for clear, low-distortion performance.

The Recessed tweeters may look the same, but they don't perform the same. KRK has designed a superior tweeter wave guide for the Rokit that provides optimal high frequency pattern control and focuses the sound outward, away from the cabinet. More conventional designs direct sound along the plane of the cabinet where waveform interaction can cause phase problems and increased diffraction. KRK knows a properly engineered high frequency wave guide is a critical component to great sound, and one key to their award winning performance.
