KRK ROKIT 8 G2 Powered Speakers. Demonstration, Information and how you can win this set!

0:00 This is my product review for these speakers from a company called KRK

Right guys, this is my product review for these speakers from a company called KRK. They're known as the Rocket 8. Now these guys are powered monitors. Two very important words. A couple of things first. I'm going to do a bit of a review on them but mainly this video is about explaining the best applications and how to use powered speakers. Also at the end of this video I'll be explaining how you can win these guys. Seriously, you can have these for free. What you will need to do though is check out in the description for the end time when it's too late to get them for free because there is a start time and a finish time when you can win them. Now, two words, powered monitors. Monitors, very important. Now, you would not ever, well hopefully not, find a set of these in a nightclub in Ibiza flown above the dance floor because you would not get a very good sound out of them.

Also, they're not suitable let's say for a mobile DJ. What they are suitable for though are monitors. For example, if you're a music producer and you want to hear a good quality sound then they're ideal. Also let's say if you're a bedroom DJ or any DJ for that matter who've got, you've got a bit of kit at home and you want to start doing some fantastic mixes and you need to listen to the sound of your tunes how it was made by the producer Then, powered monitors are for you. Now also, powered, what does that mean? Well, these guys have got internal amplifiers, so in other words, there is no need for an external amplifier. So, from your laptop, cable into these speakers. Alternatively, let's say if you've got a mixer and CDJs or vinyl turntables, you'll go from your turntables, your CD players, into your mixer, from your mixer, then into these speakers. Now I've got bits of paper all over the place here.

1:56 I'm going to talk a little bit about flat signal

I'm going to talk a little bit about flat signal. Now, if let's say you are a music producer, you will know about a flat sound. If you're a DJ, this is really important. If you want to do a very good mix CD, it's really important to make sure everything is flat. So, if we have a look, let's say at your mixer here, imagine that's your LEDs, green, amber and red. Try and keep things just floating around green. Now, if we have a look here as well, you'll notice the angle of these speakers and there's you. Now that's an ideal way of setting them up and also you want them about head height. We've got a port there, so that gives you a nice warm bass sound. 8-inch bass and we've got a small dome tweeter. The bass speaker, that'll produce 70 watts and the dome tweeter 20, so we've got 90 watts in total. We will produce here 109 dB which is pretty good and also these guys will do 44 hertz which is the low sound all the way up to 20 kilohertz which is the high sound.

Now, if we have a look at the back, instead of me turning them around, piece of paper. What they've got, they've got a dial for your high frequency level. We've got minus 2, minus 1, 0 and plus 1. Now that dial, you can turn it and switch it around. Ideally, you want to set that to 0. And then below that, you've got volume control, minus 30 dB, minus 6, 0 and plus 3. Ideally, set it to 0 dB. That's your volume control. Now, the reason they've got a dial for the high frequency is, at the moment now, these are in quite a big room and if I turn them up, you've got quite a nice sound output. But, if you're a music producer and all of a sudden you go into a new room but you take your speakers with you, the sound, the high sound could sound slightly differently. So that's when you can decrease or increase the high frequency.

4:22 Facebook page, plug, flat position

Now at the moment now, by the way if you want to know any info on the tune as well have a look in the description. Now I've got this mixer all set to flat because that is how a music producer will set their track. In other words when they start producing a sound everything will be set to the flat position. So if you are a bedroom DJ and you want to get some really good quality sound For goodness sake, don't start wanging the bass, the mid and the treble. Try and keep everything at a beautiful flat position, which is exactly what these guys are for. Now again, they're powered. They are relatively heavy and they're going to be given away. Right, on the back of them as well, let's just have a look at the inputs. We've got RCA. Now that's like the back of your mixer. That's the sort of plug that you would, let's say, go from your CD player into the back of your mixer. There's RCA plug in the back.

That's the equivalent of the big plug on the end of your headphones. If you unscrew that, it's a mini plug. That's the equivalent of the thing, let's say, you put in your iPod. We've got XLR as well. That's a similar sort of plug you'd have, let's say, into the back of your amplifier. Now, as I said earlier, you can win these, alright? This is what you've got to do. I want you to put a comment underneath this video explaining why you should have these speakers. Also, there'll be a link to a Facebook page. You need to go to that Facebook page and you need to copy and paste your comment you've put underneath this video and put it on that Facebook page and also like that page. That is it. Now, the competition to win these finishes in 10 days. After that 10 days, give us one or two days and I will do another video showing you who the winner is, alright?

Now, like I said, they're from a company called KRK. They're the Rocket 8s and also if you did see the first video, the winner gets this as well. Alright? Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
