KRK Rokit studio monitor

KRK Systems is a prominent brand in the professional audio industry, particularly famous for its 'Rokit' series of studio monitors, easily identifiable by their iconic yellow Kevlar cones. Founded in 1986 by Keith Klawitter, the brand quickly established itself as a standard for music producers and sound engineers seeking accurate sound reproduction.

While the brand has its roots in California, USA, the manufacturing of most of its current product lines, including the Rokit series, takes place in China to ensure competitive pricing for home studio environments. Over the years, the brand has changed hands within the corporate landscape of the audio industry.

Since 2011, KRK Systems has been part of the Gibson Brands, Inc. portfolio. Gibson, the legendary musical instrument manufacturer, acquired KRK as part of its Stanton Group acquisition to expand its presence in the professional audio and consumer electronics sectors. This ownership places KRK under the umbrella of one of the most storied names in American music history.
