Frequently Asked Questions
The G5s attempt a more neutral response than previous Rokits, but the bass still has a noticeable bump that requires EQ for truly flat translation.
The app provides a basic level of correction, but it's a starting point; serious acoustic treatment remains crucial for accurate monitoring.
While versatile, the slightly hyped low-end might necessitate EQ adjustments depending on the genre; they work well for electronic and pop but might need tweaking for classical or acoustic music.
