Packed with power, the KRK ROKIT 8 G5 is the fifth generation of the popular monitor series, now sporting a 1" silk-dome tweeter and three voicing modes: Create, Mix, and Focus. With a front-firing port that offers low-end extension, punch, and flexible room positioning, the ROKIT 8 G5 can deftly handle midfield and farfield applications.

The ROKIT 8 G5 has been reengineered from the ground up to offer updated features such as DSP-driven room tuning with 25 graphic EQ settings on an LCD combined with the included KRK app that helps minimize and correct problems in your acoustic environment. A large 8" Kevlar aramid fiber woofer offers enhanced low-end response for a fuller sound and immersive audio setups. Bi-amped and sporting up to 201W of Class-D amplification, the ROKIT 8 G5 has more than enough juice to provide an accurate transient response and dynamic reproduction of audio material without overworking the drivers. The ROKIT 8 G5 includes a magnetically affixed faceplate, an acoustic foam wedge isolation pad, and a power cord.

ROKIT G5 has three useful voicing modes:

  • Create mode: an inspirational voicing best used for writing, producing, and casual listening
  • Mix mode: an accurate voicing with a flat frequency response, best for mixing, mastering, and critical listening
  • Focus mode: a mid-focused voicing for critical analysis of the midrange band where vocals and most instruments have the most energy

Like the G4, the ROKIT 8 G5 sports a woven Kevlar aramid fiber cone woofer for superior damping and modal breakup control. Unlike the G4, the G5 now features a tweeter that benefits from a highly damped acoustic silk dome diaphragm to smoothly extend the frequency range up to 40 kHz. For maximum transient response and dynamics reproduction, bi-amplified Class-D power amplifiers drive the transducers evenly and more efficiently at reduced operating temperatures to ensure audio integrity during long work sessions.

The ROKIT G5 monitor includes integrated mounting points on the bottom of the enclosure. These mounting points are used with KRK mounting brackets, available as a separate purchase, or with other brands of mounting brackets that have the same hole mount pattern. Mounting your ROKIT G5 monitors is ideal for retrofitted Dolby ATMOS and immersive audio studios.

The ROKIT G5 monitor comes with its protective grille faceplate installed. This faceplate not only looks great but is there to protect the monitor drivers from any advertent finger pokes or accidental bumps.

The ROKIT G5 monitor also comes with a nonprotective faceplate that can be used if there is no danger of your monitor drivers being damaged or if you prefer the look of the ROKIT G5 without the protective grille. Both are magnetically attached for convenience.

[32 Hz to 40 kHz] Finally upgraded from my 2004 KRK ROKIT 5's and couldn't be happier.

Crisp high end and clear bass.

Digital EQ and room pre-sets + integration with the KRK app should provide far better monitor tuning for my home studio.

Totally worth the year long wait on backorder.

[32 Hz to 40 kHz] I upgraded from some old Rokits 5 G2s to a pair of Rokit 8 G4s for some extra presence and bass, and these did not disappoint.

[MDF] I wanted another set of monitors to use with an old set. My previous monitors are twenty plus years old, and I figure I'm tempting fate not having a backup set. They still sound great, but vintage monitors are not the same as vintage guitars...


I'll be honest, I was planning on buying the Kali's since I never liked the old KRK monitors, but for some reason couldn't pull the trigger. After the Kali sale ended I found this set which included the Mackie Big Knob for free (that I was also going to buy anyway). I took a chance and ordered them.


Shockingly I got them the next day even though I ordered them in the afternoon! I even had to check my invoice to make sure I didn't hit overnight by mistake, but it was standard ground shipping. The packing was excellent as well. That's not always my experience at B&H so kudos to them on that.



The KRKs have a load of tweaking options but are easy to fine tune from the back. The sound is far better than any soundclip I heard while researching them. They're not premium studio monitors, but they are much closer than the price suggests.


For me it's nice they are available in white since my old monitors are also white. KRK has definitely improved dramatically since I first tried them years ago. I hope they last as long as my old monitors.

[94 dB] KRK Rokit 5 speakers are outstanding! The sound is so clear and clean, the speakers are strong -- I just love the sound. Should have gotten these years ago. Glad I got them.

[111 dB] I upgraded to these from a krk 5” and wow. I was first surprised how big these 8” are. The sound is really good, clear highs and mids, the bass is clean and not overwhelming. Using these to mix live music
