By simply lining up drum loops from the included USB memory stick anyone can easily create pro-quality backing parts and basic tracks. Recording on another track while playing loops is also possible seamlessly blending the recorder and sampler functions. The rhythm feature can produce backing drum tracks in both real-time and step input while the metronome settings support the output of a click track to headphones perhaps to a drummer in a live situation while the signals from the output jacks are sent to a mixer.

R24 Connections for Recording and Studio Use
KRK RP6G2 Rokit G2 Powered 2-Way Active Monitor
The KRK Rokit Series takes value-priced monitors to a new performance level. All of the great stuff that Rokits have been known for (front-firing bass port soft-domed tweeter glass aramid composite yellow cone) are still there but the G2 Rokits feature refined voicing and a new curved baffle that looks great reduces diffraction and provides even better monitoring accuracy.
Studio Monitor Series from KRK Systems. For years the Rokit series has been a popular choice for accurate monitoring in studios large and small. Now the all new Generation 2 RoKit provides a new standard for even better performance and accuracy raising the bar once again.
No Pain With Gain
Why compromise gain structure to achieve a comfortable listening level? As musicians and recording people ourselves weve asked that question too. So each Generation 2 Rokit comes with an Input Volume Control that provides an adjustable gain range from +6dB to -30dB. Just another way the Rokit lets you focus on your mix and not on compatibility concerns.
Catch A Wave For A 3D Mix
Recessed tweeters may look the same but they dont perform the same. KRK has designed a superior tweeter wave guide for the Rokit that provides optimal high frequency pattern control and focuses the sound outward away from the cabinet. More conventional designs direct sound along the plane of the cabinet where waveform interaction can cause phase problems and increased diffraction. KRK knows a properly engineered high frequency wave guide is a critical component to great sound and one key to our award winning performance.
Youve Got Connections
At KRK our focus is your mix. But it doesnt stop at creating accurate monitors. We live this stuff and appreciate the need for monitors that not only sound great but work easily into your particular set up. Thats why youll find plenty of input options with your Rokit sure to accommodate any studio environment. So if its RCA Quarter-Inch (balanced/unbalanced) or XLR inputs you require Rokit has got you covered.
Even More Accurate Than Before
We took a great monitor series and made it better. Our engineers and listening panel took the Generation 2 Rokits speaker voicing to even more accurate levels. What you hear is what you are intended to hear coloration is not part of the spec. This performance is brought to you by drivers that are custom-designed by our world-class studio monitor engineering team for clear low-distortion performance.
Take Control
While your Generation 2 Rokit leaves the factory voiced to our demanding specs KRK also knows that no two rooms sound the same. As such each Rokit comes equipped with a High Frequency Level Control. This feature provides specific adjustment of high frequency output most commonly affected by room acoustics. Its just one extra level of control that KRK gives you to ensure the most accurate mix for your particular rooms acoustics.
Dont Be Square Curves Ahead
Our new Rokit looks different so it can sound better and in a wider sweet spot. Traditional rectangular speakers suffer from diffraction as sounds leaving the edge of the cabinet are reflected back into the original sound field and at different time intervals. This phase distortion creates a narrow or boxy sound. The Generation 2 Rokit series eliminates this issue with radically engineered curved surfaces so diffraction is virtually eliminated. Simply put youll get better sound in a wider area.
Lets Be Up Front
Take a look at competitive monitors and youll find ports on the back of the cabinet. These rear-firing ports tend create bass coupling with walls and corners amplifying low frequency information which will color your mix. The superior design of the KRK Generation 2 Rokits include front-firing ports which are just the right shape and taper to reduce port turbulence. Youll appreciate the clean and accurate bass performance this approach delivers even at high SPLs.
Power Up!
A great sounding monitor doesnt stop with a great cabinet and custom drivers. Our true bi-amplified amplifier system provides discrete low-distortion power for each driver. While our active crossover systems provide smooth and accurate frequency response and again accurate diffraction control.
