C) hF level Adjust

This is a seven-position switch that adjusts the tweet-
er  level  through  its  entire  frequency  spectrum.  The
adjustments are in .5 dB steps and include the follow-
ing gain se1.0, +0.5, 0, -0.5, -1.0, -1.5, -2.0.  It
is  recommended  to  set  this  control  to  0  and  listen 
carefully before adjusting to your preferences.

D) lF Adjust 

This is a low frequency boundary adjustment switch designed to optimize linear bandwidth
in your environment. This switch compensates for proximity to wall areas that may create
undesirable  increases  in  bass  response  and,  in  the  process,  create  non-linearity  of  the
E8B’s overall performance. This switch enables you to adjust/compensate for this situation
and  retrieve  the  full  linear  bandwidth  produced  by  the  loudspeaker. The  LF  adjust  has  3
positions  with  the  “A”  setting  providing  the  most  bass  response.    Please  refer  to  the  LF
Adjust frequency chart for more information.

E) Voltage Select Switch for AC Mains

This switch provides four voltage options that your E8B loudspeaker will operate within. The
loudspeaker will operate at 100V, 120V (North America), 230V, and 240V (Europe). If you
operate  in  a  230V  environment,  please  use  the  240V  setting.  This  switch  is  tied  to  the 
adjacent fuse compartment. If you are operating in a 100V or 120V environment, please
use a fuse rated at 6-amperes. For operation in a 230V or 240V environment, please use
a fuse with a 3.15-ampere rating.  

Connecting your System

Before  powering  your  monitors  on,  please  take  a  moment  to  ensure  the  Voltage  Select
Switch for the AC Mains is set to match your location. At this point, all connections should
be  made,  all  faders  and  controls  should  be  set  to  their  minimum  levels,  and  all  other 
equipment should be powered on prior to powering on your Exposé E8B monitors.

The  power  On/Off  switch  is  located  on  the  rear  panel  and  is  internationally  marked  to 
indicate the operational status. ( — ) = ON and ( O ) = OFF. An LED illuminates the KRK
Logo on the front baffle when power is applied.

Balanced XLR Connector
The  Exposé  E8B  monitors  use  a  single 
balanced  XLR  3-pin  connector  for  the  input 
signal.  This  connector  is  configured  in  the 
following manner…
• Pin 1: Ground
• Pin 2:

Hot / (+)

• Pin 3:

Cold / (-)
