-dB LEVEL ATTENUATION starts set to zero to be at +4 dBu or -10 dBV. Reduce this on both monitors in half dB steps to level match these to other monitors you may use with them up to -3 dB. SYSTEM SETTINGS use these to adjust overall system preferences. A - GROUNDLIFT If you have a ground loop and need to get rid of ground related noise, use this switch. It may also increase noise from other sources. B - INPUT - We ship the monitors -10 on the input sensitivity.

The KRK design team has painstakingly modeled and analyzed hundreds of monitor placement and room acoustic situations to ensure that KRK delivers the most useful eq tools with minimal adjustments. Room acoustics are the biggest issue in today’s studios because we are not in the perfectly built rooms now. Many great studios are just in revamped houses. We are giving you control to correct some of the anomalies you get from these types of situations.

Tips and tricks and features Grills We included a user installable grill with your monitors. While most producers/mixer prefer a monitor to have exposed drivers, there are some instances where having a grill is important or useful. If you want to use the grills, you can have confidence that they will not affect the sound of the V Series. Because of the design of the grill, for all intents and purposes, there is no change in frequency response from grill to no grill.

Power on When you first power up the V Series, there is a 3 second delay and the light on the front of the unit comes up and then one second later there is signal to the speakers. The same is true for coming out of standby. Standby Your monitors have the ability to power down when you are not using them for 30 minutes. If you don’t want them doing that, you simply switch the standby feature off on the back.

The sound quality changes... · Repeat steps in the previous troubleshooting section above before continuing to the next steps. · It is possible that the change in sound quality is due to changes in the room or listening position. Low frequencies (bass response) can be increased or reduced by changes such as furniture and/or large equipment placement. Try moving the speakers or listening area a different position or return the room back to where the sound quality was acceptable.
