Back Panel Features
(A)
SYSTEM GAIN
Input sensitivity is adjusted (counter-
clockwise reduces sensitivity) through a
rear panel mounted trim control.
Adjustment range is from -30dB to
+6dB. Factory preset gain is +6dB,
which should suffice for most condi-
tions. Normally adjustments would only
be made if you’re using your Series 2
monitors in a surround system and you
need to balance levels or if your moni-
tor-send is too hot and not adjustable. If
an adjustment is necessary, you’ll need
a small flathead screwdriver and some
measuring equipment. (E.g. tone or fil-
tered noise generator and SPL meter)
(B)
HF ADJUSTMENT (V-8II ONLY)
High Frequency Adjustment is through a rear panel mounted 3-position toggle
switch. Range of control is +1dB, Flat, or -1dB shelving above 1 kHz. Factory set-
ting for your V8 is flat (toggle switch is in middle position). Room acoustics may
dictate which type of adjustment you need to make to retain a flat frequency
response from the monitor.
(B)
LF ADJUSTMENT (V-8II ONLY)
Low Frequency turnover is set to 45Hz, 50Hz, or 65Hz by a rear panel mounted 3-
position toggle switch. Rear panel response curve graphics assist you in selecting
the appropriate setting. Factory setting for your V8 is -3dB @ 45 Hz (toggle switch
is in up position
)
. Room acoustics may dictate which type of adjustment you need
to make to retain a flat frequency response from the monitor. (See additional infor-
mation in Installing Your Monitors section on page 4.)
(C)
Clip Indicator/Limiter Switch
The Clip Indicator/Limiter switch allows you to choose between 3 options.
1. In the On position the clip led is active. The LED will gently flash red at the earli-
est sign of distortion and growing brighter with the increasing level of distortion.
2. In the “Off” position the clip LED is inactive. This may be desirable if the led is a
distraction.
3. In the “Limit” position the signal is routed through the Limiter circuit and the sig-
nal is limited when a predetermined threshold is passed. This can be monitored
with the Green LED on the front baffle. The more limiting the more the green light
stays on .
Connecting Your System
POWERING ON
All connections should be made, all faders and controls
should be set at their minimum levels, and all other equip-
ment should be powered on prior to powering on your V8
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. A yellow LED illuminates the
trademarked KRK Triangle on the front baffle when power
is applied.
Auto On/OFF Switch
The Auto On/Off feature allows you to either choose between manually powering
up the speaker or selecting the Automatic On feature. The Auto circuit detects a
signal, turns the power on allowing it to pass a signal and shuts the power off after
20 minutes of silence.
NEUTRIK® COMBO CONNECTOR
The Neutrik® Combo connector accommodates _”
phone plugs, XLR, TRS. Please note that PIN 2 is
hot! If you are using an unbalanced connection
make sure and wire PIN 1 and PIN 3 together at
the source end.
