Rokit 6CB
A Tasty Custom Look for a New Classic.

- ROKIT 6CB POWERED STUDIO MONITORS
KRK studio monitors have long been revered for their
uncompromising quality and performance. The Rokit
family of monitors brings this professional studio
performance into the realm of desktop and personal
recording spaces — environments that often have
mutiple uses including mixing stations, recording
rooms, dens, home offices, bedrooms, basements…
and the list goes on. KRK recognizes the need for
these monitors to fit nicely into traditional studio décor,
but also as a way for music-oriented people to express
themselves with something that plain looks cool.
Enter the Rokit 6CB, a 6” Rokit monitor with a custom
“sports car” yellow finish. This “Chiquita® banana,” as
it is affectionately called within the hallowed halls of
KRK, has the same features and sonic credibility of the
renowned Rokit 6 — but with a shiny painted finish that
screams, “My other car is a Ferrari.”
In the words of KRK’s National Sales Manager Dave Hetrick,
the “drive” to make the Rokit 6CB was pretty simple. “In the
past, we’ve done custom paint jobs for high-profile KRK
users like Stevie Wonder and many others. In talking with
these users, the two most requested custom colors were
red and yellow. We selected a tone of yellow from an exotic
sports car, and when we saw it on an actual speaker, it was
so stunning that we just knew we had to bring it to market
as a limited production run.”
This limited production run received national attention
when the Rokit 6CB was recently included in MTV’s Video
Music Award “goody bag.” Presenters and winners at the
VMAs were also eligible to receive a pair of the Rokit 6CBs
for their home studios.
The Rokit 6CB is available exclusively from Guitar Center
locations throughout the US, while supplies last. Get em
while they’re yellow.
