STUDIO MONITOR

“They deliver a clean and detailed sound with a strong sense of focus, they make good mixes sound
good, and if there are any problems with, they’ll let you know.” Sound on Sound Magazine

“It’s no exaggeration to say that the V8s are among the best monitors we’ve tried in this price
range, and some of the nicest of this size at any price!” DJ Magazine

“I love tracking on my 8s! I can turn them up for starting my drum sounds and they sound nice and

full and loud. Then I can turn them down, even dim them and still hear the fullness and clarity of
my recording.” Steve Marcantonio Legendary Nashville recording engineer/mixer

-dB LEVEL ATTENUATION starts set to
zero to be at +4 dBu or -10 dBV.
Reduce this on both monitors in half
dB steps to level match these to other
monitors you may use with them up to

-3 dB.

SYSTEM SETTINGS use these to adjust
overall system preferences.

A - GROUNDLIFT If you have a ground
loop and need to get rid of ground
related noise, use this switch. It may
also increase noise from other
sources.

B - INPUT - We ship the monitors -10
on the input sensitivity. This makes
them compatible with most gear;
choose +4 setting for most pro gear.
This will reduce your output level from
the -10 setting so you will need to
apply a higher-level signal at the input;
this will increase the dynamic range
and lower the noise floor.

C - STANDBY Use this to engage or
disengage the standby. If standby is
engaged the unit will go into sleep
mode 30 minutes after no signal is
detected. The monitors will wake up
once you send signal to them again.

D - LOGO LED Turns the front KRK logo
on and off

E - LOGO LED DIM With the KRK logo on this sets it to dim or bright. Set it to your desired setting
according to the ambient light in your studio.

LOW CONTROL

LOW SHELF Cut (minus) settings are wall-coupling filters. These EQ settings roll off the low end that
can build up the closer you get to walls or if you have low ceilings.
Boost (plus) settings add low end if you need more thump, set these to your taste. Most studios
will achieve plenty of low-end with the setting in the flat position.

LOW MID PEQ This is a parametric EQ with a wide Q. It does not cut your low end as it cuts low mid

frequencies. We call it a desk filter. If you have a large mixing board aka “desk” or a large desk, you

can get a buildup in the low mids that can cause audio muddiness.
Note: one setting utilizes both the wall coupling filter and the desk filter.

HIGH CONTROL

HIGH SHELF and HIGH MID PEQ All these settings are for you to set to your mixing taste. If you feel
you need more, or less high mids or highs, adjust these until you are happy. Some studios are
bright and need less highs and some studios are dark and need more highs. We give you Shelf and
PEQ EQ’s. PEQ EQ adjusts high mid frequencies up or down without changing the high frequencies.

USB JACK is for possible future updates and/or features.
