KRK Rokit RP8 G4

RPG2 set na lang gebruik vervangen omdat één van de monitors problemen kreeg met de chips of iets. De stroomkabels zijn iets korter, wat jammer is omdat ik mijn monitors niet op dezelfde plaats kon laten staan. (kan natuurlijk nog een verlengsnoer halen maar toch)

Geluid is geweldig maar ik ben natuurlijk aan het vergelijken met de oude monitors dus ik kan niet echt zeggen of deze beter of slechter zijn, zeker op lange termijn. Als deze even lang goed blijven werken ben ik eigenlijk al tevreden. EQ enzo nog niet echt gebruikt, die features zal ik ook niet vaak gebruiken gezien ik de monitors moet verplaatsen om bij de interface te komen.

The cyclops face (bass port being the mouth) is pretty cheerful but I still think the RPG2 looked better.

Firstly despite some of the hate out there these sound good. If you are looking for nice sounding speakers at this price you could do a lot worse.

Though I was shocked to find out excitedly plugging them in that the noise floor on these is shockingly high. What I mean is as soon as plugged them in they started to make a low volume but very audible white noise/hiss. I googled the issue, I looked in the manual, I prayed to my god and adjusted my audio interface and the speakers but even when you set the inbuilt volume control to -40 db at idle they produce a white noise.

Thus making these almost worse than useless for me, as I was looking for a pair of speakers that could sit on my desk about a meter away from my head. Yes I know these speakers would have been a bit big for that application but I wanted larger speakers for a better bass response at low volumes. The hiss is audible till about a 2 meters away.

On a brighter note they do sound great and the hissing is almost not audible when playing any noise trough them. if you wanted a quiet pair of speakers this is not it.

apart from that the screen is almost a complete gimmick, only 6 or so eq presets you can choose not an inbuilt user defineable eq what I thought the Screen might be useful for.

I am returning these because of the high noise. I used to use a pair of bookshelf speakers hooked up to a 1980's hifi amp and the noise was less than this set of monitors.

SO quick and short if you want to put these on your desk and sit closer than 2 meters or spend any amount of time not listening to something on your setup this is not a good set of speakers for that. But for the price you get a lot of sound that's high quality and distortion free. packing materials where excellent, speaker quality overall is excellent as well, was really impressed until I noticed the noise.
