KRK Rokit RP-5 G2

By the title of my post you may be able to tell what I have just obtained for my studio… if not, they are the name of my brand new nearfield monitors (loudspeakers to everyone else).



What can I say about them? I know, they are absolutely amazing!!! So far today I've been trying out all the genres I could imagine & they are killing every single one. The sound is both crisp & clean whilst the bass is booming just the way it should. This applies to all volume levels by the way. I honestly can't believe I went so long on just a normal set of (albiet good quality) stereo speakers.

For now i've got them lined up along side my older speakers so I can break myself into learning their qualities rather than just going directly over to them. The main reason being I know the old ones so well now that I can use them to help me adjust to the KRK's. My thoughts are to eventually get rid of the older pair but we'll see how that goes. I might just hold onto them as the set-up looks pretty great with both units in place. Judge for yourself in some of the pics below





I'm really looking forward to working on some of my own material with these monitors now (as you can imagine). As always, I'll post some details when I'm happy with something & its ready to share.

Keep listening!
