Coinciding with the launch of the new ROKIT G4 range, Zentralmedia has announced that it is the new official distributor of one of the best-selling monitor brands of recent times. The KRK catalog has always been divided into four major categories: the ROKIT series of studio monitors; the V Series of professional-level monitors; studio headphones; and subwoofers. In a few days, ISP Música Magazine will publish the review we carried out on two fantastic new pairs from the family. In the meantime, here's some background.
The ROKIT series debuts its fourth generation, and with it a series of improvements and changes
For more than a quarter of a century, KRK has been the professional choice for mixing and mastering the most prestigious productions around the world. While it pioneered a new and revolutionary way of recording, KRK ROKIT has established itself as the world's No. 1 best-selling monitor line since its inception. Completely redesigned, the new ROKIT G4 (Generation 4) line has been revamped and surpasses, in every respect, the performance legacy for which ROKIT monitors are known.
The recording environment
This is the place that must be treated so that productions translate as faithfully as possible to the real world. The new ROKIT G4 monitors, with DSP-driven graphic EQ and 25 settings, help with your acoustic environment while offering new levels of versatility in a studio monitor.
Visual EQ on an LCD screen: the DSP-driven graphic EQ with 25 settings helps condition the acoustic environment while offering new levels of versatility in a studio monitor. The flat setting is ideal for most environments, but the low, mid and high frequency presets can be adjusted to help compensate for common problems in different sonic spaces.
This feature is also ideal for getting a different EQ response for creating music versus mixing it. The standalone KRK Audio Tools app, which will be available for download on Google Play and the iOS App Store, will also help with monitor placement, level matching, subwoofer level, polarity and EQ.
High-quality Kevlar® woofer and tweeter
The driver design ensures the same sonic integrity across all frequencies and minimizes listening fatigue, while delivering an incredibly balanced and clear experience. Following the technology and legacy of the V Series 4 monitor line, the new proprietary drivers of the ROKIT G4 series feature a highly rigid material with incredible strength for reproducing low frequencies.
A scientifically designed, high-quality speaker cabinet
High quality and sophistication combine to form a low-resonance speaker enclosure, where a newly designed front port delivers exceptional accuracy, clarity, extension and flexible placement in the room.
High-density, open-cell Iso-foam acoustic pads decouple the speaker from the surface, minimizing vibration transmission for greater clarity. Fluid dynamics fully tuned to the entire system, resulting in constant air pressure behavior at any volume, create an unprecedentedly wide, deep and dynamic sweet spot with incredible imaging and 3D sound.
Custom amplifier with limiter
At its heart, a powerful and efficient newly designed custom Class D power amplifier drives the speakers evenly and more efficiently at reduced operating temperatures, while also improving audio integrity. A built-in custom brickwall limiter kicks in automatically at maximum amplification level to maintain a balanced sound, protect the system and deliver improved, wider dynamics.
