  • Page 3 Whether you are making critical mixing decisions or need to capture the subtle nuances of a unique sound, you’ll quickly discover that the VXT Series is as precise about your work as you are.

  • Page 4: Design Philosophy

    • Smooth octave to octave response • Smooth off-axis response From years of listening to feedback from some of the top engineers and producers, KRK engineers have come to understand how a properly tuned monitor can become a valuable recording tool.

  • Page 5: Design Elements

    Design Elements New Custom Made Tweeter and Woofer Designs – KRK is renowned for designing high performance studio monitor drivers. Your VXT monitors are no exception. A woven Kevlar® low frequency driver was custom-designed specifically for each model. Kevlar® is one of the strongest, lightest, most rigid materials that can be used in modern speaker cone construction.

The KRK Logo on the front baffle illuminates when the power is applied.
  • Page 8 NEUTRIK® COMBO CONNECTOR The Neutrik® Combo connector accommodates XLR, 1/4” TRS and 1/4” phone plugs. Please note that PIN 2 is hot! If you are using an unbalanced connection make sure to wire Sleeve and Ring together at the source end. This can be accomplished by using the appropriate cable or adapter.
  • Page 9 2-CHANNEL SET-UP Close-Field Configuration - In a control room situation, the monitors are often times placed on the meter bridge or in a close-field listening position. Initial placement starts by measuring out a simple equilateral triangle (all three sides equal in length) with the apex at the center of the listening position (as shown in Figure 1) as an "overlay"...
  • Page 10 Figure 3 5.1 Channel Surround Sound Setup Begin by placing the Left and Right front channels 30 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 110 degrees from the Center channel. Their location should also be equidistant from the listening position.
  • Page 11 7.1 Channel Surround Sound Setup The 7.1 channel surround sound setup adds two speakers to the sides of the mix position and is most similar to the actual surround sound configuration of cinema—with the difference being that cinemas commonly add additional side surrounds to compensate for the length of the theater.

    (See Changing Fuses in the Connecting the System section on page 3). • The KRK logo on the front panel will be illuminated when the monitor is on. If logo is not illuminated, turn the powe 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.

With power on, place your ear close to each driver (tweeter/woofer) and listen for noise (i.e., a slight hiss or hum).
