Growing demands on music recording industry professionals have created the need for better monitor performance at more affordable prices.
  • Page 3: System Controls

    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.
  • Page 4: Connecting Your System

    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.

    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 conditions.
  • Page 6: Subwoofer Setup

    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 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.
  • Page 8: Design Goals

    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”.
  • Page 9: Troubleshooting

    This will determine whether it's really the monitor, a faulty cable, or some other glitch in the audio chain. If the monitor is still not responding, it should be returned to the dealer that you purchased it from or to KRK for servicing.
  • Page 10: Troubleshooting

    Please read the warranty card that was included in the shipping carton of your monitor prior to shipping it back to KRK Systems, LLC. All products in need of repair can be returned to the dealer where it was purchased or to KRK Systems, LLC.
