- Page 3 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 setting 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.

Page 4: Connecting Your System
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. The power On/Off switch is located on the rear panel and is internationally marked to indicate the operational status. -
Page 5: Positioning Your Monitors
(excluding any interaction with the mixing console). But when ideal positioning isn't practical, low frequency control is the solution. Lets say you have two different studios in your facility; in one room the V8’s are close to the wall, in the other they're further away from the wall. Simply adjust the low frequency on each monitor and you'll have the same sound in each room. - Page 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 is above height of the console.
- Page 7 The most significant thing to remember is that each room presents it’s own set of acoustic variables. You'll want to experiment a bit to arrive at the best possible sound for your room. IMPORTANT NOTE: Your V8 was originally packaged in a specially designed carton and included special packing materials. Please save these items.

Page 8: System Highlights
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 incorrectly balance your mixes to compensate for this effect, leading to poor “translation”. -

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. - Page 10 Please read the warranty card that was included in the shipping carton of your monitor prior to shipping it back to KRK Systems, Inc.
