You got a like just for switching the camera angle and showing the behind the scenes, love seeing that! Great job and continued success with your channel sir!
I had these and loved them. No one makes a monitor in this price range that uses the same exact material for both tweeter and woofer much less kevlar. The midrange on these is perfection and the top end sounds different and unique from everything else on the market being kevlar. I dont think there are currently any studio monitors or even hifi speakers that use kevlar for the tweeter at any price range. I loved them so much I returned them and upgraded to the V8 S4s.
Interesting...I've had all G's of the ROKIT 8's. Again, I mostly used them in my DJ studio due to the bass. However, the G4's are a better monitor and I have been using them in my recording studio. Also, stay tuned...I have a couple KRK video treats coming very soon.
I love the new 7's. I actually have the Classic 7's and they're amazing. Perfect size and perfect wattage. I had the Rockit 8 G2's and found the low end to be too powerful while the top end was a little weak, come to find that the tweeter only gets 20 watts while the woofer gets 90 watts. The new 7's however are so much more better balanced with 25 watts going to the tweeter and 48 watts going to the woofer. I recently added the S10.4 subwoofer to my set up and OMG it's heaven.
My dad bought himself a Yamaha YDS 120 digital saxophone recently, and was asking me about getting an amp to play it through. I was thinking maybe a Rockit monitor speaker would be a good option instead of a combo amp, as it is just for use at home. Any thoughts? Presumably he could just connect direct from the line out of the sax to the line in of the monitor speaker? I have some older Rockits connected to my PC and really like them.
Just arrived today krk 7 g4 I can say they are absolutely amazing. I sold my VXT 8 and I can say these have similar sound. With my Korg PA4x sounds beautiful!!!!
Hi thanks man for the comparison! For (mainly but not only) electronic music, deep house/electro french space pop/dance pop, etc. would a 7" woofer be ok or better to go to an 8" woofer, for bass frequencies I mean? And quality/better dynamic range/money wise, what are better? The Yamaha HS or the KRK Rokit G4? Thank you heaps!!!
Hi..can I use this to a country that uses 220v 60hz? Also what is the best cable trs connector to use to connect to a audio interface? Planning to buy 2 of these.
I just got the Rokit 7 G4, and the first thing I noticed is that the woofer is actually 5.5" in diameter, not 7" (and that's measured from the far outside portion of the rubber ring to the opposite side's far end of the rubber ring). Am I crazy? Could you measure your Rokit 7 G4's woofer and confirm?
I have a Yamaha p125 digital piano. the lowest A note is 27.5 Hz. What monitors do you recommend for such a piano? what model and diameter of the woofer?
would these speakers be too big for a small-ish room? The room is 14'5" x 9'2". Would I be better going for the 5 inch model instead? This is for a digital piano.
Just got them and they Are producing a very annoying hissing Sound like white noise without Even connecting them to my interface just By being powered on
I think so, I mean 145 watts is pretty good. But I would not push them hard either...these are studio monitors. If you want to be completely sure, get the ROKIT 10 G4, link is in the show description.
Some of the finest measuring amplifiers in the world (e.g. Hypex or Purifi) are class D. However that is not to say all class D amplifiers are well engineered. The big advantages of Class D for use in powered monitors such as these is that they are cheap (more of the budget can then be spent on fancy Kevlar drive units) and they produce far less heat which is good for long-term reliability.
I guess I do have to agree. I have some old old Class AB HK Citation 16, and they're beautiful... But comparing to what newer boards manufactures can churn up for Class D amps.. I'm seeing a slightly less biased picture about your statement. But I suppose it's how each brand manufacturers makes full use of these newer Class D amps for a fraction of its costs.

And did you feel the 8 was even better? Or overkill? Did they keep the beautiful mids and highs?

Thank you for the video, it really helped to decide buying my Rokit 8 G4 a couple of days ago 👍
Awesome review I love how you're straight to the point keep them coming
thx, you're correct, just get to it, no fluff

I payed up a little for the 7 which is only a tad bigger than the 5... but the 7 has 145 watts compared to only 55 watts in the 5
Good review as I didn't appreciate the eq stuff until you mentioned it
yeah, I never use eq on monitors, flat all day
thank you
Just arrived today krk 7 g4
I can say they are absolutely amazing.
I sold my VXT 8 and I can say these have similar sound.
With my Korg PA4x sounds beautiful!!!!
You know, the KRK's are growing on me, the G4's. They just sound more balanced than the previous generations.
Hi, im shopping for monitors too for my new synth, just curious do you feel the need to add a sub to go with the KRK7's?
@@1975Stevo great question
Can anyone tell me, if the KRK Classic 7 have exactly the same specs as the ROKIT 7 G4?
Is it worth it to use as a dj on a terrace? Krk 8 rockit 4
Hi thanks man for the comparison!

It's a lower powered V6 with fewer DSP EQ options.
still kinda dope, I prefer the 8's. Classics 5 review coming soon
Hi..can I use this to a country that uses 220v 60hz? Also what is the best cable trs connector to use to connect to a audio interface? Planning to buy 2 of these.
If you purchased them in that country, I'm sure they will come with the proper power cords.
Picked these up last night they sound amazing now i need stands can you tell what your using please
Hey what's up. We use the OnStage SMS6000 Monitor Stands - amzn.to/2QePBEi
@@crossfadr thank you im going to get them loving the rockit 7 they sound amazing
Will these work with my Axe- Fx for guitar?
I hope you realize that the Rokit 7 G4 is the upgrade from the Rokit 6? Before there was the 7 there was the 6.
Hey could I use these in a treat 2x3 or 3x3 room?? I can never find videos with room size perspectives
I just got the Rokit 7 G4, and the first thing I noticed is that the woofer is actually 5.5" in diameter, not 7" (and that's measured from the far outside portion of the rubber ring to the opposite side's far end of the rubber ring). Am I crazy? Could you measure your Rokit 7 G4's woofer and confirm?
6.5
LOL. WOW! I just measured my 8's. The woofer def isn't 8 inches, but the entire woofer housing is 8 inches. Good catch...
@@markyruss about 5.5", but I'm told that they measure the mount, not the actual woofer, and apparently the mount is 7"
All I can s ay is? Audio porn.
What microphone is that???
Im looking at these for use with a keyborad and a roland handsonic electric drum pad ? Would this be a good choice
YES! You'll need some bass using that drum pad. But if you'll going to purchase the 7's, I would just get the 8's.
I have a Yamaha p125 digital piano. the lowest A note is 27.5 Hz. What monitors do you recommend for such a piano? what model and diameter of the woofer?
You need something else bro, may want to look into the KRK V Series or Focal Monitors.
So, the G4’s are not bassy as the earlier ones? Also, would these be a good bet for an untreated room. Thanks!
Yes, you can tweak the DSP EQ based on your space.
@@crossfadr Okie. Thanks.
would these speakers be too big for a small-ish room? The room is 14'5" x 9'2". Would I be better going for the 5 inch model instead? This is for a digital piano.
I have the 8's in a room much smaller. The 7's will work.
@@crossfadr thanks very much, appreciate the advice 👍🏼
Are these ones not as bass heavy?
The G4's are not as bass heavy as the G3's or G2's. I prefer the G4's for sure.
7's or 8's for a 3x3m untreated room? Just for DJing
8's for doing all day, treated or untreated
Just got them and they Are producing a very annoying hissing Sound like white noise without Even connecting them to my interface just By being powered on
Noise floor of these g4 7’s is unacceptably high. Super audible hiss makes this a big NO, listen before you buy.
sir, I'm new to this. I always hear yamaha hs7 and krk's. What would you recommend (hs7 of g4 7) for a 3x3m untreated homestudio?
thx in advance
are these good for parties of 20
I think so, I mean 145 watts is pretty good. But I would not push them hard either...these are studio monitors. If you want to be completely sure, get the ROKIT 10 G4, link is in the show description.
i have no bass on my rockit 7.why is that?
You are probably running them flat. Adjust your DSP EQ on the back of the 7's.
@@crossfadr no bass after adjusting
You are totally forgetting the 6’s man...
I'm not sure I'm feeling the DSP EQ, I like my monitors clean, with no digital element. I am checking out the classic 5's right now.
KRK has a Rokit 6?
@@crossfadr ofcourse the G3
@@zerotoninemusic5957but not a G4 Rokit 6, correct?
@@crossfadr no, but the video did not even mention the predecessor…
Class D, worse quality ...
Can you elaborate further?
I don't see that...worse quality, really. Explain, I'd like to know as well.
Some of the finest measuring amplifiers in the world (e.g. Hypex or Purifi) are class D. However that is not to say all class D amplifiers are well engineered.
The big advantages of Class D for use in powered monitors such as these is that they are cheap (more of the budget can then be spent on fancy Kevlar drive units) and they produce far less heat which is good for long-term reliability.

I'm seeing a slightly less biased picture about your statement. But I suppose it's how each brand manufacturers makes full use of these newer Class D amps for a fraction of its costs.
Class D allows for higher power/wattage at much less heat/detriment to the electronics package which equals longevity
