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 

• 

The AC mains voltage is matched to the operating voltage requirements (See 

Changing Voltage

 in the 

Connecting the System 

section on page 3). If the AC mains voltage is higher than the V-8’s selected 

voltage it is possible that the fuse needs to be replaced. (See 

Changing Fuses

 in the 

Connecting the 

System 

section on page 3). 

• 

The power light is illuminated on the front panel of the V8. 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 switch back 
on. The power light should illuminate. 

• 

If a fuse change was needed and upon powering the monitor back up the fuse(s) blow again, the monitor 
needs to be returned to the dealer you purchased it from or to KRK for servicing. 

 

Problem:

 If you can't hear any sound... 

• 

Repeat 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 sure 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 non-working 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, it should be returned to the dealer that you purchased it from or to 
KRK for servicing. 

 

Problem:

 If the monitor suddenly stops working... 

• 

Turn the monitor send down or off. 

• 

Repeat 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 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 V8 provides maximum circuitry protection 
against AC power surges, amplifier overdrive, and overheating of the amplifiers.  Turn the monitor off 
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, it should be returned to the dealer that you purchased it from or to 
KRK for servicing.  

 

Problem:

 The sound quality changes... 

 

• 

Repeat steps in the previous troubleshooting section above before continuing to the next steps. 

• 

Disconnect the signal cable at the input of the monitor. 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 or tweeter or both) is at fault. It's also 
possible that the problem lies somewhere in the electronics.
