- In this video, we break down each tool in the new KRK Audio Tools App. Available now for iOS and Android.
For years, KRK has pioneered the new recording revolution for modern music creators. In that spirit, we created the new KRK Audio Tools app that will help anyone setup their studio for better mixing decisions.
It’s a free suite of professional studio tools and includes five useful analysis-based components that help setup any brand of monitors, and one powerful tool (EQ Recommendation) that helps acclimate the new KRK ROKIT G4 monitors to their individual acoustic environment.

For anyone wondering what type of cable to use, it’s the Hosa CMP-159 stereo breakout cable. You’re welcome! 🙂
YEEEEEEES THX MAAAAN
my monitors dont have 6.5 jacks.. only xlr
Be usefull if you could update the app so that its compatible with newer phine software thanks
Обновили
Is there a reason why you guys have not updated the app to the newest android and iOS versions yet?
Great sounding monitors! Recently bought some. Any chance you guys could upgrade the software so newer devices can use it? My phone is 3 years old
Great to see this
Wait to a long time to see this awesome app
I just grabbed an extra pair because I needed some other speakers and let me tell you - theses have come a longgg way since I've been a kid. The flatness is not what I was expecting - I'm extremely impressed with the new generation and this app just put the cherry on top. I use Yamaha's usually, I'm using these more now.
Wow I was about to buy the Yamaha's hs5's but something about these just stood out more for me.
It's really awesome. Thanks for the tutorials.
Love the app set mine up last night.💯🔥
why did I never hear about this app omg....life changer
Pretty impressive!
Amazing! It is the perfect app for beginners!!!
agree
A bit of an indepth in the type of cable would be nice...jack Y splitter with XLR?
This app is great !
I need his shirt in my life !
I have been searching for the pair of new monitors. Honestly KRK was on the bottom of the list. But with this price point it cannot be beaten. Amazing tools for analysis will help a lot.
Not sure if anyone has asked this already but, Can you do an update for these processes for today's current phones? modern cell phones do not have headphone jacks...Thanks in advance.
1/8 adapters are available for most phones
iPhone has lightning to 3.5mm audio jack
I really like the sound of these. They sound nothing like your previous versions which I didnt like at all. I wish these monitors had the most important thing, time alignment. I hope you guys add it one day.
This was great. After using it for 1 day. Suddenly it start to make Al sorts of strange crack and pop's. I got so bad I could not use the delay tool no more. Because it made the same noises at the end of the run. And the sin sweep have the same problem. I have reinstalled the app 3 times. And it is the same. All was well. At first it was good, then it goes to useless. Like a curve drop. Hope this can be fixed.it is a very helpful tool.
Thank you :)
It took me a while to find the right cable to calibrate but I ended up searching for the following cable and worked... "1.5m 3.5mm S-Jack to 2x XLR Male Audio Cable"
Omg THANKS haha!
Excellent tool this is!
Great app !!!. make sure that you are not connected to any Bluetooth device otherwise it will trigger a phone call disabling the app. Or just shut off the Bluetooth on your smart device.
@KRK Music, please update your app, so it can be used with the latest OS for mobile phones
Please make a computer App that you control with this one.
1. I don't have a Y Jack splitter.
2. Disconnecting everything is to much of a hassle
Not sure how your setup is working, but something that might work which did for me is having a simple jack cable going to a 6.3 adapter into my microphone port of my audio interface tro then turn on direct monitor for this "microphone". Hope this might help
Edit: just realized sound will be mono then, which has no use for the app
1. A Y-Splitter is literally $10 and can be found at any music/audio store.
2. Disconnecting a single input and and inserting another one in order to run this program takes all on 30 seconds-2 minutes depending how much shit you have piled around your desk.
3. Stop being so useless
Iphones dont have a jack socket unless youve still got one from 2015
FWIW, I ran my MacBook computer sound through my audio interface which controls my speakers. Once I was able to get sound from my computer through these monitors, I went to UA-cam and pulled up a pink noise video and used it for my tests. Obviously no idea how close the two tests are, but I feel it's better than nothing. Since I'm not charging anyone for anything I'm doing in my home studio, I feel like I have a decent set up for the KRKs.
Why don’t u just get an android emulator like bluestacks
Great video mate, I have a question though. What if you have one of the speakers set against the corner of your bedroom, shouldn't you have different EQ presets for L and R speakers in this case? I don't see any one addressing this... I know Ideally you shouldn't set it up like this but I don't have a choice. Thanks in advance!
If you have a subwoofer, should the pink noise for EQ preset recommendation be routed through the entire system or just the monitors, not the sub?
Great App
I have a Zoom L12 LiveTrak. Would there be any issue in hooking up my iPhone to the RCA inputs of the mixer to use the APP? Would the latency or frequency response of the mixer cause any issues?
Wow
Should we do the eq analysis to each monitor at a time? My right monitor has a big low resonance due to what's behind it
hello sir i have a krk's 6 3 gen so I'm confused of wich volume should i set on the rear of speakers 0db or +6db?
I did the EQ recommendation test with the pink noise. It says 'Low: Select Preset #3 (Flat) High: Select Preset #3 (Flat)' -- Pretty neat but not really sure what to do with that information... What are the presets and how do I select them? Really cool app tho, thanks KRK!
Hi there ! , is it anyone that have’s the krk 6 rpg 2? and one more question please,can someone tells me how did he connect both speakers on the phone simultaneous? is it one cable that have 3.6 jack into phone and 6.35 on both sides end? cause i am a bit comfuz since he hasn’t showed properly , Thanks
One of my monitors is slightly louder and they don’t have a master volume control ..any ideas ?
Hello there also ım using Bigknob passive moniotor controller then also I've krk 7 so when ı use this app so can ı connect my phone to between bignob passive monitor so also this has minimal jack then ıts not need adaptor. so krk7 out to my soundcard then soundcard input the bigknob passive controller. it can be well work ? so this bignob working like listen the other monitörs also its passive
Just fyi folks, after a fair bit of messing around I finally found an apk of this that works fine on Android 11. Happy to share the file and the app you need to install it if anyone is interested.
Hi Alex, Im interested please
I am interested Alex can you send me the app please
My polarity isn't showing + ,do anyone knows whats going on and how to do it?
I have looked online for USB C to a XLR 1/4 cable and I have yet to find one. The length after the Y is not long enough to reach both speakers. Can you add a link to a location to purchase please.
So, the eq recommendation gives you the most honest or “true to the mix” sound?
Very helpful. Thank you very much. But can you please describe once exactly which cables are needed and where exactly they are connected? Directly to the speakers?
As 3.4 Jack to 2x XLR. I have never seen such a cable :-(
I'm wondering the same thing. Did you find out?
@@notthefacefilms4822No, I didn't !
@@michaelschultze3595 KRK really should have made the test files available for desktops, so we could avoid having to buy extra cables.
@@notthefacefilms4822 Not clear in this fact
@@notthefacefilms4822 yeah, I thought the same. But it's possible it needs to be played from the same source that's going to do the analysis. Still annoying how little they say about the need for cables in this video and others I've looked at. Most people don't have that kind of equipment around the house/studio.
if we could use an external mic. this would have been awesome!
Can anyone explain what is that red and black interface type thing what is that for
Might be a stupid question regarding levels meter settings, I’m completely new to recording and having monitors. When you get your readings for both the right and left. How do you adjust them on the speakers? Like I know you use the “volume” knobs on the back, but are you splitting the difference of the 2 readings?
I appreciate any input
Got the same questions. Did you find any answers somewhere, Bill?
@@yorgospanteleon1447 apparently im a little late on the reply, i never use the email connected to this account, so i never saw it. I did not get any answers. been messing around with it, but still dont get it. any answers on your end?
How must it be connected? From phone to speakers? or to audio interface?
Does it work with V Series too?
Is it possible to have an update of this app? I cannot download it anymore, because I have Android 14 installed and Google Play tells me that the app is too old for my OS.
May I suggest that you add your older monitors as well. Sure they don't got have many settings.. but it might help someone?
It is something we want to do. 😁
I think that some settings can be used on strict Krk models
Hello, I own a pair of KRK Rokit 5s, gen 4. When I apply calibrations, they get reset when I turn off the speaker. Problem applies to only one of the speakers. Any ideas what might be wrong?
I can't find an Y splitter for my iphone 14 that's long enough to reach my speakers, any suggestions?
anyone got a link for cables for these speakers
Would be great if the app did not only work for ancient versions of Android.
What cables are you using to connect phone with monitors?
Can it be used with the classic 5 g3
I'm lost at cable cz it no work..Am I suppose to get up a d switch t he cables in the back. How do I connect to sit back and do the Y thing
Phones (like mine) now come with no headphone jack (discovered this after I got home). How can we get over this issue?
Do your phone have to be plugged up while you use this app?
I love the idea of this tool ... But I do not have a phone with a headphone jack any more unfortunately...
Any deals on some monitors
Why isn't this app compatible with any of my devices? Keeps saying my version of Android is too new and I need an older version of Android in order to use it. How do I then calibrate my G4 monitors without the use of the app?
The Polarity is fine in one speaker but not the other so what do I do.?
I have G4 Rokit 7's, And there's no jack to connect my phone onto ?
youll need the soundcard then :c
When checking the polarity should I use a Y cable to both speakers? Or one cable at a time to each monitor?
And since then... Should both speakers indicate a matching + or a matching -. Or only 2 + is accepted and nothing else? I cannot understand. This isn't explained and I am not an engineer.
Finally... What happens if one speaker has the opposite polarity from the other? I haven't tested yet but how is that fixed? I mean I bought these monitors of yours and high quality and very expensive XLR to TRS cables with Neutrik connections. And the power cables directly to the wall.
What else should I do to avoid reversed polarity and phase cancelation between the monitors? All I could do is being done.
Your speakers doesn't have any switch to reverse manually polarity....
Thank you.
Dear KRK systems, isn't there any Engineer available as a technical support who would be like visiting the home studio to get this all done. It would be a great help. India.
Why only +2 Db on EQ bass?
Can you use that app without cables ?
Getting a pair at the end of the month .kaboom
Did you get it. Is it good :)
@@accentontheoff yep,great speakers
@@patrickjosephtobin8014 Cool thanks.
😘😘🥰👏👏👏
Does the app give suggestions for V Series 4 and G3?
im also trying to find out
Does this cable come with the speaker or would I have to purchase it separately.
It's not clear how to do this with newer iPhones with no jack output either.
@@Decomyn I’m sure the adapter will do fine.
@@accentontheoff duhhh completely didn't think of that 🤦🏼♂️ thanks!
@@Decomyn :)
You said now we have the speakers at a perfect 60° angle. Did the app tell you that? I didn't see any mechanism or indication of that.
Can you use this or the krk5 and the 3rd generation???
Same question
Could you please explain how to connect a phone to these? I don't even have an audio output on my phone other than bluetooth, how would this work?
try ipad for this
doesn't work on android 10 please update
KRK ROKIT 7 LH speaker simply stopped working after making a clicking sound. Has power but no sound. Was hoping this app could connect and update firmware. Has anyone else had a similar problem with these monitors
I think the idea is great but if you have the money, go for Sonar Works... Cause eventhough it is agreat app, its still trusting your phones mic to do the measurements and determine whats "good" or "not good". And everyone knows phone microphones vary and are not the best overall.
The app won't install on any of my Android devices, the store says it was 'Made for a previous version of Android' 😞
Hello! Can't use it on my Samsung S20 - it is for older Android. Please, upgrade the app. Thanks!
I can't use the cable on iphone 15 HOW DO I CONNECT TO MY SPEAKERS?????
There's no 1/8th inch jack socket on the newer iPhones. Does that mean I can't use the app?
gotta use your dongle my dude
Can you Please uppdate the app , my phone says Its for older versions ir Android 😢😢
One question can the cable used be any Chinese 2 $ stereo 3.5 cable with 2 1/4 mono output?
yes) just try it on the normal signal to avoid any losses
Add Bluetooth capability
Exactly. What a dumb idea to connect this app with a cable?!? 🤦🏻♂️
@@stevenvandemsky7290 he probably meant so that you could use them to listen to music from phone. He probably knows that most accurate calibration would be with the cable and not wireless connection that would loose data and add unnecessary noise.
@@stevenvandemsky7290 new androids don't have headphone jacks
@@stevenvandemsky7290 bt has delay!
But what about the frequency response of the microphone in a smartphone? 🤷♂️
I'd say this still gets people closer than buying the speakers out of the box and doing nothing at all.
Probably is taken in care also.
i think it is a godamn good question
They probably try to correct for it for known models of phone. However since each phone might be different, this is a good question.
Why this app doesn't work on new android versions ?! Please fix it,thank U
awesome 😂🎉❤😢😮😅😊
how to use it for KRK V8S4 and iphone 11 ios 17 and what cable do i need to calibrate the monitors? Or can i use sonarworks to upload my room correction profile to the DSP via back usb-c port? Or can i calibrate without using sonarworks at all? Please let me know ❤❤❤
Where do you get the cable to connect 3.55mm to 6.35mm? I've tried several cables but the split section is too close to the monitors so it won't work. It would be great if the audio files could be played through a desktop app instead of having to search for a cable. Nice idea but poor execution from KRK.
Same issue I don't get how you are supposed to get this to work.
@@AcidTechnoMan5000 You have to get a 3.5mm to dual Male XLR. Connect one end into one speaker and then connect another female XLR cable end into the splitter and then the Male end into the other speaker. It confused me at first but it’s easy thinking about it. They never properly show or explain on these videos. Hope that helps
@@JimmerDJ can you send Amazon links for the cords needed?
The monitor align icons do not move for me
I tried using the polarity checker function and no sound came out when i hooked my phone up with an aux cable
@Themixmusicandmore
Is there a cable which goes from the R5 G3 to mobile phone for recording Audio?
I have a Roland FX 8 connected direct to speakers for Piano: I used my Behringer audio interface which records direct to my PC, but then I have to sync the Audio to my Video which takes tooooo long: Thanks
@@snacklepussPSN yes
@@themixmusicandmore6280 Thank You fellow musician. Can you provide a link to a proper cable? Much obliged. 💚🤍💛
Just picked up a set of 8g4's...the app isn't supported by newer Android OS.. app needs update
Same here ..
It doesn't open at all on Android 10. Looking at the play store reviews it's been like this for months with no fix. I've messaged KRK on a few different places but no reply ☹️.
Hi, Thank you for this. Please check again as I believe it has been updated.
@@jimmyr.landry2912 fantastic, it took a long time but better late than never👍
Krk 10-3 G4 + protection grills ?
App currently not available on iOS????
this app is just Awesome, ! does it works with other monitors ? i guess no ! lol
You're crazy dude hahaha
Split audio channels on the master channel if you using only DAW And adjust equ on each channel dont forgot to turn of equalisation on master after you finish with mix :)
It would be good if one could change/select the EQ settings via the app.
is this work on g3?
Yes just not everything tho
Doesn't work on android 10:( update pls
yes!! we need updates!! Cant open too.
Why do I have white noise coming from mine when nothing’s playing
It probably has to do with either the grounding or 'dirty' electricity. I have a power conditioner and still get some noise at high levels and it's not limited to the monitors. I get them in headphones too. I did a level test with no sound, but my speakers and computer turned all the way up to see what sort of static noise I was getting. Mine was in the -50 db range. I compared the two high pass filter eqs (low 1 and low 2) and there was about a 2-3 db difference. Playing around with the eq may not eliminate the noise but might help you mitigate it some. Just a thought.
Dolby Atmos?
we need an updated version of this with Bluetooth or a PC app. app is too old for new android devices, and new phones don't have audio jacks.
