Brand: KRK

#50 KRK Rokit 5 G5: $398 per pair Amazon $199.00 eBay

Older model: the KRK Rokit 5 G4 (ranked lower, rated 3.7/5). See every KRK Rokit generation.

Same family: the KRK Rokit 7 G5 (larger bookshelf, estimated 4/5) and the KRK Rokit 8 G5 (larger bookshelf, estimated 4/5).

Pros: A 5 inch studio monitor with app controlled DSP voicing modes and boundary EQ settings. A 5” woven Kevlar woofer and 1” silk dome tweeter. Onboard DSP adds three voicing modes (Mix for a flat response, Create, and Focus for the midrange) and 25 boundary and tuning EQ settings, set up with the free KRK app. Bi-amplified Class D amplification and a silk dome tweeter rated to 40kHz.

Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared with ranked speakers. A 5” woofer limits bass extension and output, so a subwoofer helps for full-range listening. Sold individually, so a stereo pair costs twice the listed price.

Is the KRK Rokit 5 G5 right for you?
