KRK Rokit - Affordable, Prosional Quality

When building a music studio, there are numerous pieces of gear you are going to rely on to run a session smoothly. The one piece of gear that is the heart and soul of your studio is the monitors. You will be constantly listening to your monitors to get your mix sounding perfect. The quality that your speakers can give, is going to result in the same quality your mixes sound. Professional sounding quality monitors can cost you a fortune. The price for professional monitors can go up to five thousand dollars for a pair. If you are building a studio on a budget, you probably do not have this kind of money to drop.

KRK Systems is known for creating professional sounding quality monitors for a good reasonable price. They have a line of monitors called Rockets. They range from six to ten inch speakers. The speakers that I personally use and would recommend would be the six-inch speakers. For a pair of these speakers it will cost you $400, which is not bad at all for the quality, these speakers produce. These monitors are two very active studio monitors.


Their frequency response ranges from 48Hz to 20kHz. The loudness that these speakers reach on a SPL is 107 dB. This is amazingly loud for the price of these monitors. Overall, the quality that is most important is the accuracy of these monitors. If your studio is fairly treated acoustically based on how I explained on my previous posts, these speakers will give you a very accurate mix. The last thing I will talk about is the design and colors of the KRK. These black and yellow monitors are very stylish and its colors definitely catch the eye of your clients.

Altogether, I believe you cannot go wrong with these speakers if you are building a studio on a budget.
