INTRODUCTION 

Welcome to the new KRK Systems Generation 3 ROKIT studio monitor, the world’s most 
respected manufacturer of studio reference monitors. In our state of the art design facility, 
we create products that deliver a natural and balanced spectral response with low 
distortion and superior imaging. With KRK Systems studio monitors, recording engineers 
and artists hear every nuance of the audio being reproduced.  

SYSTEM CONTROLS 
VOLUME - 

Volume knob sets the input system gain. The usual scenario 

is to set the knob at the maximum setting (+6dB as shipped from the 
factory) and adjust the input level from your audio source. Use the 
volume knob to match the left and right studio monitors.   

 
HF ADJUSTMENT 

- The High Frequency adjustment may be used to 

tailor a listening style preference. The factory setting is flat (knob is in 
the 0dB position). 

 

 
LF ADJUSTMENT

 – The Low Frequency adjustment may be used to 

adjust for the room acoustics and personal preference. Room acoustics 
may dictate which type of adjustment you need to make to retain the 
proper frequency response from the studio monitor. For example, 
placement near a wall or corner will boost the low frequencies.

audio interface. Only connect one input source at a time. 

 

 
UNBALANCED INPUT

 - The RCA input jack is connected to your audio 

equipment outputs, such as an audio interface, computer, DJ gear and 
mobile device. Only connect one input source at a time.  

 
AC INPUT INLET SOCKET & FUSE HOLDER

 - A standard IEC-type AC 

Inlet Socket is used to provide power to the studio monitor. Below the 
socket is a fuse holder that contains two fuses (one spare).  

 

NOTE

 - The studio monitors will take break-in time to achieve optimum sonic 

performance. Under moderate use, play a favorite album between 15 to 25 hours.
