QR Code Link to This Post
without breaking the bank? The KRK Rokit 5 RPG2 (aka RP5 G2) is a
legendary entry-to-mid-level powered studio monitor that's been a
go-to for countless producers, beatmakers, podcasters, and home
studios since the late 2000s. Famous for that signature yellow
Kevlar-style cone, punchy low-end extension, clear mids, and detailed
highs, these deliver a flattering yet revealing sound that's easy to
mix on and translates surprisingly well — even beyond their price
point.
Why This Classic Still Rules:
5" glass-aramid composite woofer + 1" neodymium soft-dome tweeter —
bi-amped (30W LF / 15W HF) for tight, articulate response down to
around 52Hz
Front-firing bass port + curved baffle design — wider sweet spot,
reduced diffraction, and better bass in smaller rooms
Versatile inputs: balanced XLR, balanced TRS (1/4"), and unbalanced
RCA — hooks up to anything from audio interfaces to laptops
Rear controls: HF level adjust (±2dB), volume, and acoustic tuning
switches for room optimization
Compact & powered — no external amp needed; just plug in, set levels,
and go (110-240V switchable power supply)
Condition & Straight Talk (Honest Used Gear Style):
Removed from a working home/project studio environment — these saw
real sessions, not just shelf time
Shows normal cosmetic wear from pro/home use: light scuffs, scratches,
dust marks, and typical handling/rack rash — all surface-level, no
dents, cracks, or driver damage visible
Powers ON and appears fully functional (basic power-up and no obvious
issues confirmed)
Not exhaustively tested (no full frequency sweeps or long-burn-in
here) — sold as-is for folks comfortable dialing in vintage/used
monitors
Includes only what's shown in the high-res photos — speaker as
pictured, no cables, manual, or extras (power cord is
built-in/attached)
No manufacturer warranty remains (discontinued model, as expected for
pre-owned KRK gear)
This RPG2 version is the sweet-spot Generation 2 model — improved over
the originals with better voicing and that curved front for accuracy,
yet still beloved for its punchy, fun character (great for electronic,
hip-hop, rock, or general production where you want some "smile"
without harshness). They're harder to find in good shape these days as
many have been upgraded or worn out.
Zoom in on the detailed photos — front yellow cone, rear panel with
inputs/controls, top/sides — what you see is exactly what you'll
receive. If you're starting a setup, adding a second for stereo, or
grabbing a reliable backup/reference monitor at budget prices, this is
proven gear that thousands still swear by.
Sold strictly as-is, as-pictured. No returns on used audio unless
major discrepancy. Snag this reliable Rokit while it's here — these
don't last long at real-world prices.
