KRK Rokit 5 G4 - ranked #49 of 81 Medium Size Powered Bookshelf Speakers · Editor's rating 3.7/5

#49 KRK Rokit 5 G4: $337 per pair Discontinued eBay

Newer model: the KRK Rokit 5 G5, ranked higher, estimated 3.8/5.

Larger models: the KRK Rokit 7 G4 (rated 3.9/5) and the KRK Rokit 8 G4 (rated 3.9/5).

Pros: ASR’s data gives -3dB bass around 56Hz and scores of 3.92 standalone and 6.29 with an ideal subwoofer. The waveguide provides useful horizontal directivity control, while onboard adjustments help tailor broad balance. The existing review reports low distortion at 86dB and low audible hiss. Measured bass extension of 55.7Hz (-3dB).

Cons: The 3.6dB midrange span and listening-window narrow-band deviation of 0.502 show that native response is not reference-flat. A port-region resonance and other tonal irregularities remain. Its deeper bass does not establish greater detail or mixing accuracy than another monitor. EQ can help, but the unequalized measurements determine the starting recommendation. Discontinued.
