These operate at 45Hz and 35Hz respectively. The crossover frequencies for the smaller and larger models are 3kHz and 2.4kHz (using fourth-order filters) respectively and, because the cabinets are ported, subsonic filters are included to attenuate frequencies below the cutoff point of the cabinet. The Rokit 5 has just 15W driving the tweeter and 30W powering the mid-range/bass, while the Rokit 8 has 20W feeding the tweeter and 70W available to the mid-range/bass driver. These particular models are very efficient, which means they don't need massive internal power amplifiers. KRK originally made their reputation by building Kevlar-coned speakers, but the woven glass-fibre composite used on their lower-cost models still combines physical strength and stiffness with good self damping, which in turns helps deliver a tighter sound. The smaller five-inch unit still manages a respectable 53Hz-20kHz ☒dB, so either will cover the normal musical spectrum very adequately. As you might imagine, this allows the larger Rokit 8 to produce more level and to reproduce lower frequencies, the quoted response being 45Hz-20kHz ☑.5dB.

Both also feature the same one-inch soft-dome tweeter and a bass/mid-range driver that utilises an aramid glass-fibre cone, the main difference being that the smaller monitor has a five-inch bass/mid-range driver, while the larger has an eight-inch bass/mid-range driver. KRK have added a couple of new two-way active monitors to their range, both of which provide full coverage of the audio spectrum in a nearfield format. KRK's new monitors use glass-fibre cone technology to offer a big sound for those on a budget.
