I was sitting in a restaurant today at the bar waiting for my pizza take away order to arrive when I noticed the restaurant had KRK 8 Rokit monitors for their speakers for the sound system.
Crazy?? or is there any method in this madness?? |

| chill man its not like they had a pair of adams or something out there. factoring not buying a proper amp for the system and separate speakers, it makes some sense, whats the big deal? |

Too many hard surfaces in a bar for those monitors to be any good, there. |

I was just under the impression monitors were designed to highlight all the crap sounds in your mix/tunes, so why put them in a bar in a restaurant lol
I guess the bar is the best place, thats where the listeners are the least fussy :tongue3 |

My guess is that they use them to make the pizza mixes cheesier. |

The Rokit series are primarily DJ monitors, not studio monitors so it's not quite the same thing. I have the same ones for my DJ setup and they would be fine as Hi-fi speakers in a large room. |

Well according to KRK, they are studio monitors for people on smaller budgets, says nothing about being DJ or monitors for live music. But I guess if they do the job they do the job :tongue2 |

| Well that depends on whether you want to believe marketing hype from the company or people who actually have those speakers, and can compare them to their proper studio monitors. I have the Dynaudio Bm5a by the way, they make the Rokits sounds like they were made in a shed with recycled materials. |

Well considering the Rokits are the bottom of the range of the KRK series that makes sense. |
