Perform the polarity test FIRST, before any other test. If you encounter a problem there, ALL other test results will be invalid!

[@oz1747]

wouldn't your phone need to have a calibrated mic? if the frequency response of the phones mic isn't totally flat, wouldn't that skew the results? am I missing something?

[@rickbiessman6084]

That was my first thought too. I wonder if KRK put in the work to actually measure various microphones’ frequency response?

[@1992Apocalypse]

there's actually an "option" to disable built in microphone filters. Is that what you mean?

[@emounstron8585]

JAJAJAJAJJAJAJAJA 🤣 12:20 min was epic jajajajajaja Excellent explication, perfect vídeo 👌👌

[@henriquecristo]

Great video mate, I have a question though. What if you have one of the speakers against a corner in your bedroom, shouldn't you have different EQ presets for L and R speakers in this case? I don't see any one addressing this... Cheers!

[@christianmedrano178]

This was very helpful. Although, I couldn't help but wonder if these steps were all done in the right order. For example, shouldn't polarity and alignment be done before anything else? I suppose it's the apps fault for not listing the stages in a logical order.

[@michelakadoner2590]

In the app, in the explanation for the EQ-Recommendation-tool it says, that you should use the level meter and the alignment first. Don't know about the polarity, but I'd assume that using the tools in the order they are listed in the app (which they did in the video) should be fine

[@LuiCambio]

When doing the level meter, does the volume setting from your phone needs to be all the way up to 100?

[@davidveatch5145]

App is dead or for old phones :(

[@neversettle6500]

so the i phone 6 mic is already a calibrated mic?

[@lojarich]

My KRK's are high up. How do I calibrate the tilt, to make up for this? Tweeter should be ear level but my tweeters are above my head, entirely. Is there a workaround? Thanks.

[@GetintheMix]

Some people flip their speakers upside down to help their ears be in the sweet-spot, also to stop the woofer from being central (height-wise) in the room. You could try this, or alternatively you can get a tilting monitor stand, or wedge-shaped foam to help angle your speakers down.

Whatever sounds best to you. Often people prefer a boost in the low and high frequencies, but as it's DJ use it's completely subjective so choose whatever you like the sound of!

[@chriskennan7314]

Has anyone got an suggestions on how to use the EQ recommendation with their sub? Do I flip the sub off and do the speakers as normal and then listen with the sub on and adjust by ear, or do EQ recommendation again?

Might be a stupid question. The first step he talks about plugging your phone into the speakers to calibrate the speaker volumes. How do you do that?

[@billfenton764]

Also the G4’s only have the xrl/trs port

[@GetintheMix]

You can connect the phone directly to the speakers by using a 3.5mm mini jack to XLR or 1/4" Jack cable, something like this: www.getinthemix.com/accessories/cables-connectors/stagg-professional-stereo-mini-3-5mm-jack-twin-male-xlr-cable.htm

Where do you get the cable to connect your phone to the monitors? I have tried several but the Y-splitter is too close to the 6.35mm end that fits in the back of the monitors. Any links appreciated. 🙏

[@aderpio480]

Last time you guys checked, which contemporary phones have a *headphone* jack? How are you supposed to easily connect a USB-C phone in your signal chain? KRK should make a desktop app, or have audio files for download so you can play them through your monitors and use your phone to measure. Otherwise it's all for nothing :(

[@GetintheMix]

It's true that headphone jacks are increasingly uncommon on phones. This can be a hurdle but you can always get a USB-C to mini jack adapter for your phone.

[@aderpio480]

@@GetintheMix of course you can get cables, adspters etc. You can always spend money and do something to work around something that is poorly thought in the first place... But, really, having the audio files availabe to download would be user friendly, cheap and thoughtfull. If you have a line to KRK you could maybe suggest that?

What would you prefer klipsch 600m or these krk ROKIT 8 g 4s for music listening ?

[@GetintheMix]

We don't have experience with the Klipsch 600ms but at a glance, they are fundamentally very different from the Rokits. The Rokits are designed to be studio monitors, arguably favouring electronic music. The Klipsch are however HiFi speakers, designed for enjoyable listening to a variety of music with a more interesting sound. They will not have the same bottom end as the Rokits however, such is often the nature of HiFi speakers, so if you are listening to more bass-intensive music, Rokits will be the way to go.

[@KRKSYSTEMS]

Hi Phillip, the ROKITs will give you a more accurate representation of how the music is supposed to sound. However, the beauty of the new ROKIT G4 is that there are 25 EQ presets on the back LCD so you really have a lot of variety of sound. Thanks
