Problem: The sound quality changes…

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

next steps.

• Disconnect the signal cable at the monitor’s input connector. With power on, place your

ear close to each driver (tweeter/woofer) and listen for noise (i.e., a slight hiss or hum). If
there’s  absolutely  no  sound  whatsoever,  it  could  be  that  one  or  more  of  the 
drivers  (woofer,  tweeter,  or  both)  is  at  fault.  It's  also  possible  that  the  problem  lies 
elsewhere in the electronics.

•  Play  some  non-distorted  source  material  at  a  low  volume.  Carefully  cover  the  tweeter 

(to  block  the  sound)  without  touching  the  diaphragm.  Is  the  woofer  producing  a  clean
sound? If there is not a clear tonal quality or any sound at all, then the woofer probably
needs to be replaced.

• Cover the woofer so you can hear mostly the tweeter. Is the tweeter producing a clear

sound? If there is not a clear tonal quality or any sound at all, then the tweeter probably
needs to be replaced.

•  Once  you  have  a  better  idea  of  what  may  be  at  fault,  please  contact  KRK  technical 

support.

Problem: The monitor hisses, hums, or makes other objectionable noises…

•  Ensure  that  the  power  cord  is  connected  snugly  into  the  IEC  socket  on  the  rear  of  the

monitor.

• Check the connections between the signal source and the monitor. The Exposé XLR input

connector is a completely balanced system. If you're connecting an unbalanced output to
the monitor, be certain that you're using Pin 2 for signal and have Pin 1 and Pin 3 tied
together at the source end.

• Refer to the Voltage Select Switch for the AC Mains information of this manual to ensure

that the AC mains is properly matched to the operating voltage requirements.

• All audio equipment should use the same ground point. Check all other devices using the

same  AC  output  in  the  building  like  dimmers,  neon  signs,  TV  screens,  and  computer 
monitors. These devices should not use the same circuit.

your monitor. Before shipping your unit back to KRK for service you must acquire an “RMA” from
