Systems Controls SYSTEM GAIN Input sensitivity is adjusted (counterclockwise 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 conditions. Normally adjustments would only be made if you’re using your V-88 in a surround system and you need to balance levels or if your monitor send is too hot and not adjustable. If an adjustment is necessary, you’ll need a small flathead sc

Connecting Your System POWERING ON All connections should be made, all faders and controls should be set at their minimum levels, and all other equipment should be powered on prior to powering on your V-88 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. NOTE: MAKE SURE THAT THE VO

Installing Your Monitors The close-field monitor, by definition, reduces room interaction. This can be compared to the conventional stereo configuration or the large monitor arrangement in a recording studio where sounds emanating from the monitor or reflecting off ceilings, walls, and floors greatly affect the sound quality. By shortening the path to the ear, the close- field monitor offers a tremendous amount of flexibility, allowing the sound to become less susceptible to differing room c

Mid-Field Configuration – This configuration is basically the same as the Close-Field set-up. (see Figure 2) It is normally used with larger monitors or when the monitors are too large or heavy for the meter bridge. This set-up has the potential for a larger sweet spot and better spatial imaging. Make sure that the height of the woofer is above height of the console. Figure 2 SUBWOOFER SET-UP Begin by determining the best location for your subwoofer. If possible, the optimum set-u

5.1 CHANNEL SURROUND SET-UP Begin set-up by placing the Left and Right front channels 30º degrees from the Center channel and equidistant to the listening position (Figure 4). The Left Surround (Rear) and Right Surround (Rear) channels should be placed 110º degrees from the Center channel. Their location should also be equidistant from the listening position. The subwoofer (Low Frequency Effects) channel is most effective when situated directly below the Center channel (as shown in Figur

Design Goals KRK’s design goal for your V-88 was to create a monitor capable of accurately reproducing sound with clarity and accuracy. Other monitors in the marketplace tend to modify, extend, or “tilt” their response above 1 kHz to sound more “spatial, exciting and impressive”. What is not mentioned is this practice tends to make you incorrectly balance your mixes to compensate for this effect, leading to poor “translation”. Your V-88 was designed to reproduce the signal with a mini

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 pag

• 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. • Onc
