    I’ve had the rokit 6 G2, VXT 8, V6 G4 & Yamaha HS8 and I’ve got to say, the Rokit 10-3 G4 is by far the best out of all of them. Very flat, super clear with the mids and highs. And cause it’s a 3 way speaker system, it sounds a lot more 3D (wide) compared to the others. And the low end is balanced, not muddy, but still powerful and accurate. I’m able to hear things in my mixes that I’ve never EVER been able to hear before on other monitors. And with the DSP function, you can tune the Rokit 10-3 G4 to any room. Highly recommend these. By far my favourite monitors that I’ve ever heard and owned. And I’ve herd A LOT!

      After weeks & long hours of doing research on various budget studio monitors,the Rokit 7 G4's were the clear choice for me,in terms of size,sonic specifications,optional protective grilles for the drivers and of course,the best feature set possible for a very reasonable price! I've looked at Focal Alpha Evo's,RCF Ayra Pro's,Adam Audio T7V's just to name a few,and none of them could match the specs and positive reviews of KRK's G4 series! Can't wait to try them out in a few days!

    I believe with the NEW ROKIT KRK 10-3 G4 the Tweeter & Mid can be turned now without unscrewing any screws.. I think he missed out on telling us about that. From what I heard when they were released this was a huge issue for people. The G3 version you have to unscrew all the screws to get it to turn and even then you have to be so extremely careful or you can end up damaging the unit. If I am wrong about this new option someone please correct me.

      Old Man hendo well I’m a bedroom producer so I also like to DJ in the same place. I found the HS7s where way too flat on the low frequencies whilst DJing sometimes I even felt the kick and bass off tracks sounded really muddy. My KRKs came and I’m more than happy with them. I tested both monitors on a particular track with heavy bass and the krks sounded so much better and cleaner.

    • @SevenBeatsmusic

      I totally agree with you. I returned hs5 today and now waiting for krk 7. I was very disappointed with hs5, the bass was so low I sometimes thought they don't have it. Hs are great monitors but not for home DJing. Are you happy with krk? Which model did you get?

    Yo Mitch did you communicate the bi-amp features correctly? checking the specks on the KRK site I see Rokit 5, 7 & 8 (Bi-amp) and 10 (Tri-amp). It sounds as you are saying the 8 only is Bi-amped...

    • @sweetwater
      @sweetwater  5 років тому +25

      You are correct, all of the smaller Rokit G4 monitors are bi-amped, with the 10 tri-amped. The way I presented it in the video makes it appear that only the Rokit 8 G4 is bi-amped. Sorry for the confusion!

      No actually KRK are good "on the move" studio monitors since they are front ported and have an app that allows to tune your speakers to your setting.

    VERY INACCURATE FREQUENCY RESPONSE: The 7s and 8s are kind of a mess down in the bass. They have a bump at around 80hz, a pretty serious dip at 120hz and another bump around 215hz.
    These monitors seem to generally hype the low end. You do not want that no matter which genre you work in.
    I’m gonna take a second here to explain something for anyone who doesn’t understand this concept. Apologies to anyone who already does, but this is the most important fact about monitors and I wish more people knew this ...
    If a monitor hypes any frequencies, when you’re mixing with that monitor and attempting to get the best sound, you’re going to pull those hyped frequencies down on an individual track or the mix in general. Inversely, if a monitor is weak on a frequency, you’ll end up pushing that one up on tracks and mixes - so it sounds good on that system. Anytime we track or mix on monitors with issues we all unknowingly do this. And when you finish, the mix sounds good - (on those monitors).
    But then - as soon as you take that mix to any other pair of speakers - it won’t sound the same. Because you’ve unknowingly compensated for the monitors issues with your mixing choices. And that’s why you here about people running around checking mixes on other systems then adjusting, checking, adjusting again. And basically wasting a lot of time, feeling like you just aren’t “getting it.”
    To be fair and positive here: You could buy monitors like these and make them work. But it’s gonna take a lot of time to learn them and get comfortable with their effect on the audio. You have to listen to a ton of music you’re already familiar with on them and learn what they do to the audio. But it can be done.
    However, if you can save a bit longer and buy better monitors, that extra money spent saves you hours upon hours.

      These are actually pretty damn flat monitors. They have the same frequency response as the generation 4 V series which also use kevlar drivers. The frequency response has a 2db tilt upwards towards the bottom end and is really flat with no big spikes or dips. 120 and especially 80hz problems are usually wall issues. Never look at the fr graph below upper bass region unless its from a perfect setup or ancheoic chamber.
      Im in the process of switching out my monitors and from what I remember I always hated the krk sound of their modern monitors. But these things dont sound like any krks ive ever heard. They have a neutrally warm sound. Compared to adam t7vs or hs7 or even jbl 306p the krk have an overall warmer sound. But its not so warm like the Sterlings I heard and not like the Mackie MRs which were also warm but were clearly missing part of the midrange. Those are some oddly tuned monitors because the mackie XRs that I heard a while back were absolutely amazing. I have some other contendors but currently the rp7g4s are on top of the list.
      The green graph is the V8S4 which is tuned the exact same way as the RP8G4. The designer said this himself and also noted that the smaller sizes simply have less headroom and bass depth.

They have a decoupling platform with an adjustable angle and you can feed the cables internally through the stand so everything looks nice and clean. There are lots of options for stands, though, so the best fit for you could vary depending on your space and budget.

    The Gen 4 edition came out about 3 years ago. The cheapened it down by putting in Class-D amps and shaving off over 3.5 kilogramm weight per 10-3 unit. Cheaper shipping costs, too, see? You need to get the Generation 1, 2, or 3 models, they all have Class-AB amping. The Gen 4 with that live sound / PA type of DSP mini screen is a bit nonsensical, I believe only one other studio monitor model out there even uses a DSP screen. Also the number of inputs into these huge 3-way monitor is only one. Either TRS ort XLR, not both simultaneously. And no unbalanced RCA or TR. Whereas studio monitors costing half this much will give you separate 1/4-inch TRS, XLR, and unbalanced RCA or TS or mini-jack inputs. What was KRK thinking here? Gen 5 models cannot be far off now (in late April 2021). Keep our fingers crossed.
