The ROKIT G4, in the 5, 7 and 8” version, is a two-way studio monitor with a tweeter (producing
high frequencies) and a woofer (producing mid and low frequencies) in one enclosure. In between
the tweeter and woofer is the acoustic axis point where the full frequency range comes together.
The ideal location for the acoustic axis point is located at ear level in the listening position. It is
acceptable to angle the studio monitors so the acoustic axis is pointed in the correct direction.
The ROKIT G4 10-3 is a three-way studio monitor with a tweeter (producing high frequencies), a
midrange driver (producing mid frequencies) and a woofer (producing low frequencies) in one
enclosure. Whether using the 10-3 in vertical or horizonal mode, the center of the midrange driver
is the acoustic axis point where the full frequency range comes together. The ideal location for the
acoustic axis point is located at ear level in the listening position. It is acceptable to angle the studio
monitors so the acoustic axis is pointed in the correct direction.
Now that we have giving you a great starting place, feel free to break the rules and try what works
for you. For instance, the ROKIT G4 like its big brother, the V Series 4, has a very wide sweet spot so
instead of directing them at a 60 degree angle to the listening position, try them at a 70 or 80
degree angle and then try sitting closer to them or further away but always have the acoustic axis
point directed at your ears. Listen to the sound scape and again, choose what sounds great to you.
Tips and tricks and features
Grilles
You may decide to purchase the user installable grilles for your monitors. They are only available
for the 5”, 7” and 8” versions. While most producers/mixer prefer a monitor to have exposed
drivers, there are some instances where having a grille is important or useful.
They are to use in high traffic situations for the protection of your monitors drivers. For instance,
in mobile recording trucks or studios with a lot of foot traffic. You can use them in your home
studio to protect them from little pokey fingers. Use them to protect the drivers as you travel to
different studios. Because the grille is held on magnetically, you can put them on just during
transport and then switch back to the no grille baffle when you arrive.
The front baffle is attached magnetically. To install the grille, simply reach into the port near the
left or right side and pull the faceplate forward and off, then snap on the faceplate w/grille.
If you do decide to use the grilles, you can have confidence that they will not affect the sound of
the ROKIT G4. Because of the design of the grille, for all intents and purposes, there is no change in
frequency response from grille to no grille.
EVA Cushion
EVA foam cushion on the bottom of your monitors aid in keeping your monitors in place when
playing music. It adds punch and clarity because you don’t lose energy due to cabinet movement.
The foam also isolates the monitor from your desk.
VOLUME on the HOME SCREEN is the monitor’s input sensitivity
We call it volume because it is the easiest way to understand Input sensitivity. Our amplifier runs
wide open and then you adjust how “hard” you hit it with input sensitivity, also known as a pad.
For ROKIT G4 if you put the VOLUME at 0.0dB that is professionally known as +4 dBu. If you put the
VOLUME at 11.0dB that is professionally known as -10dBV.
Running at +4 is “quieter” than -10. -10 hits the amp a lot harder so it is perceived as “louder”. But,
in essence, this is incorrect. All you are doing is reducing your headroom and dynamic range. The
bigger issue is that you will have a much worse signal-to-noise ratio running at -10, again, because
the amp is wide open and you are now putting more gain in front of it. So, because of all of that,
the more “pro” way to run the monitors is at +4 for almost all situations. You will have more
headroom and dynamic range and that will make your music and mixes feel better and more
“open” as you work.
