2 Systems Controls SYSTEM GAIN The input sensitivity is adjusted (counterclockwise reduces sensitivity) with the rear panel mounted System Gain control. Adjustment range is from - 30dB to +6dB. Factory preset gain is +6 dB, which should suffice for most conditions. Normally adjustments would only be made if you’re using your V8 in a surround syst[...]

3 retain a flat frequency response from the monitor. (See additional information in Installing Your Monitors section on page 4.) 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 V8 monitors.

5 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 gre atly affect the sound quality. By shortening the[...]

6 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 [...]

7 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 po sition ( 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 t[...]

8 Design Goals KRK’s design goal for your V8 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 in[...]

9 Troubleshooting Problem: If there is no power, chec k 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 hi[...]

10 • 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[...]
