-‐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. This makes them
compatible with most gear; choose +4
setting for most pro gear. This will
reduce your output level from the -‐10
setting so you will need to apply a
higher-‐level signal at the input; this will
increase the dynamic range and lower
the noise floor.
C -‐ STANDBY
Use this to engage or
disengage the standby. If standby is
engaged the unit will go into sleep mode
30 minutes after no signal is detected.
The monitors will wake up once you send
signal to them again.
D -‐ LOGO LED
Turns the front KRK logo
on and off
E -‐ LOGO LED DIM
With the KRK logo on this sets it to dim or bright. Set it to your desired setting
according to the ambient light in your studio.
LOW CONTROL
LOW SHELF Cut (minus) settings are wall-‐coupling filters. These EQ settings roll off the low end that
can build up the closer you get to walls or if you have low ceilings.
Boost (plus) settings add low end if you need more thump, set these to your taste. Most studios will
achieve plenty of low-‐end with the setting in the flat position.
LOW MID PEQ This is a parametric EQ with a wide Q. It does not cut your low end as it cuts low mid
frequencies. We call it a desk filter. If you have a large mixing board aka “desk” or a large desk, you
can get a buildup in the low mids that can cause audio muddiness.
Note: one setting utilizes both the wall coupling filter and the desk filter.
HIGH CONTROL
HIGH SHELF and HIGH MID PEQ All these settings are for you to set to your mixing taste. If you feel
you need more, or less high mids or highs, adjust these until you are happy. Some studios are bright
and need less highs and some studios are dark and need more highs. We give you Shelf and PEQ
EQ’s. PEQ EQ adjusts high mid frequencies up or down without changing the high frequencies.
