Hooking Up Your Subwoofer (Stereo)
The KRK subwoofers include a built-in crossover
and amplifier, so you only need the appropriate
hookup cables to integrate it into your existing
monitor system. First, you need to connect a pair
of cables from the stereo monitor outputs of your
console to the left and right XLR input jacks on the
subwoofer.
If your console outputs are1/4 inch TRS jacks,
then you will need a pair of TRS to XLR adapter
cables. (Note the TRS to XLR wiring diagram
included here.) Next, if you are using the internal
80-Hz high-pass filter built into the subwoofer for
the existing full-range monitors (and most of you
will), hook the XLR output jacks on the subwoofer
to the line-level inputs of your full-range speaker
Hookup with Active Speakers
If you are using active (powered) speakers, simply use an XLR male to female "mic
lead" to connect the output of the subwoofer directly to the input of the speaker. The
output marked "Left" should go to your left speaker, and the output marked "Right"
should go to your right speaker
