C) HF Level Adjust

This is a seven-position switch that adjusts the tweet- er level through its entire frequency spectrum. The adjustments are in .5 dB steps and include the follow- ing gain settings:+1.0, +0.5, 0, -0.5, -1.0, -1.5, -2.0. It is recommended to set this control to 0 and listen carefully before adjusting to your preferences.

D) LF Adjust

This is a low frequency boundary adjustment switch designed to optimize linear bandwidth in your environment. This switch compensates for proximity to wall areas that may create undesirable increases in bass response and, in the process, create non-linearity of the E8B’s overall performance. This switch enables you to adjust/compensate for this situation and retrieve the full linear bandwidth produced by the loudspeaker. The LF adjust has 3 positions with the “A” setting providing the most bass response. Please refer to the LF Adjust frequency chart for more information.

E) Voltage Select Switch for AC Mains

This switch provides four voltage options that your E8B loudspeaker will operate within. The loudspeaker will operate at 100V, 120V (North America), 230V, and 240V (Europe). If you operate in a 230V environment, please use the 240V setting. This switch is tied to the adjacent fuse compartment. If you are operating in a 100V or 120V environment, please use a fuse rated at 6-amperes. For operation in a 230V or 240V environment, please use a fuse with a 3.15-ampere rating.

Connecting Your System

Before powering your monitors on, please take a moment to ensure the Voltage Select Switch for the AC Mains is set to match your location. At this point, all connections should be made, all faders and controls should be set to their minimum levels, and all other equipment should be powered on prior to powering on your Exposé E8B monitors.

The power On/Off switch is located on the rear panel and is internationally marked to indicate the operational status. ( — ) = ON and ( O ) = OFF. An LED illuminates the KRK Logo on the front baffle when power is applied.

Balanced XLR Connector

The Exposé E8B monitors use a single balanced XLR 3-pin connector for the input signal. This connector is configured in the following manner…

• Pin 1: Ground

• Pin 2: Hot / (+)

• Pin 3: Cold / (-)
