Troubleshooting

Problem: If there is no power, check to see if...

• The power cord is plugged into both the IEC socket on the rear panel of the unit and into

the AC mains.

• Check to ensure the Voltage Select Switch for the AC Mains is set to match your location

If  the  AC  mains  voltage  is  higher  than  the  E8B’s  selected  voltage,  it  is 
possible  that  the  fuse  needs  to  be  replaced.  See  the  information  that  came  with  your
monitor for more information.

• The KRK logo is illuminated on the front panel of the E8B. If not, turn the power switch

OFF  and  check  the  A/C  mains  fuse(s).  NEVER  USE  A  LARGER  AMPERAGE  FUSE
THAN  IS  SPECIFIED! Turn  the  power  to  the  monitor  back  on. The  power  light  should 
illuminate.

• If a fuse change was required and, upon powering the monitor back up, the fuse blows

again, please contact KRK technical support.

Problem: If you can’t hear any sound…

• Repeat the steps in the previous troubleshooting section above before continuing to the

next steps.

• Check to see if all other audio devices using the same AC outlet are still operating.
• Make certain that:

• The audio source cable is plugged into both the source output and the monitor input.
• The System Gain pot is turned up fully clockwise (+ 6 dB).
• The signal source (e.g. mixing console, work station, CD player, etc.) is turned up to a

level that can properly send a signal to the monitors.

•  If  one  of  the  monitors  is  working,  exchange  the  audio  input  cable  from  the  nonworking

monitor  to  the  working  unit.  This  will  determine  whether  it's  really  the  monitor,  a  faulty
cable, or some other glitch in the audio chain.

• If the monitor is still not responding, please contact KRK technical support.

Problem: If the monitor suddenly stops working…

• Turn the monitor send down or off.

•  Repeat  the  steps  in  the  troubleshooting  sections  above  before  continuing  to  the  next

steps.

• Carefully check to see if the amplifier's back plate is hot! If the monitor has been running

at its highest power output for an extended period of time, it could be that the unit has
become overheated and the protection circuitry has shut the system down momentarily.
The Exposé provides maximum circuitry protection against AC power surges, amplifier 
overdrive,  and  overheating  of  the  amplifiers.  Turn  the  monitor  off  and  then  wait  30 
minutes to allow the back plate to cool down. Turn the power switch back on.

• Increase the volume to check for normal operation.
•  If  the  monitor  is  still  not  responding,  please  contact  KRK  technical  support  using  the 

dedicated  Expose  customer  support  line  created  just  for  Expose  customers.    The 
number is 954 316-1KRK (or 954 316-1575).
