Nice size speakers for my small studio

Researched many speakers in this price range and quality. But my friends in the industry gave me the thumbs up to KRK

For a quarter of a century KRK has been the professional's choice for mixing and mastering hit records around the globe. KRK's ROKIT studio monitors have been the mostpopular choice for accurate monitoring, selling one million systems over the years. Now KRK introduces the new ROKIT Generation 3, continuing the legacy of performance ROKIT's have become known for. So whether youre just starting out in desktop recording or youve already laid down a few thousand tracks, give a listen to the ROKIT Generation 3 line of monitors and experience a standard in performance and accuracy that raises the bar once again.

KRK Systems is one of the world's most respected manufacturers of studio reference monitors. In state of the art design facility, KRK engineers create products that deliver a natural and balanced spectral response with low distortion and superior imaging. With KRK monitors, recording engineers and artists hear every nuance of the audio being reproduced. KRK ROKIT Generation 3 monitors continue in this design philosophy, so regardless of your musical style, genre or particular mixing needs, KRK ROKIT will deliver. Prove it to yourself with these few simple listening tips:

Vocal clarity with extended bass response
Many manufacturers compromise the midrange frequencies in order to deliver lots of bass. KRK ROKIT Generation 3s sonic response gives you both: vocal clarity and low-frequency extension. Take your favorite vocal piece that includes a bass guitar. Notice how the KRK ROKIT presents, in detail, all the vocals and midrange audio, as well as the notes of the bass guitar.

Clean, tight bass reproduction
Everyone loves clean, tight bass reproduction. This is achieved with the proper tuning of the woofer, cabinet and port, otherwise you'll experience muddy bass. Grab a kick drum demo and notice how the KRK ROKIT's bass is tight and well defined.

High sound pressure levels-without distortion
Some monitors play loud, but distort at higher SPL's. At KRK, believe if it isn't clean, it isn't true at any volume level. That's why you'll find precision limiters, matched to amplifiers in every ROKIT, designed to maintain distortion free sound and balanced response. So turn up a ROKIT and hear not just loud, but hear clean.

Precise imaging from defined sweet spot
Place yourself in the sweet spot and listen to any demo selection: now notice the crisp defined image and depth that the ROKIT provides. See how you can hear each vocal and instrument where the recording engineer placed them. Even if you move your head off axis you will notice the sound character remains consistent and you don't lose either side of your mix.

Clean high-frequency extension
Some monitors boost high-frequencies or use gimmicky tweeters to achieve what appears to be superior high-frequency reproduction. The result often is a harsh high-end that quickly becomes fatiguing particularly at high volumes. Listen to the ROKIT at any SPL and note the high-frequencies are crisp, clean and don't overwhelm the rest of the audio range.
