Connecting

The KRK KNS series headphones connect with almost any professional and consumer audio device such as Professional Live, Recording and Broadcast Mixers, Audio Interfaces, Headphone Amplifiers, personal computers, personal media players, CD/DVD/Blu-Ray players.

Most professional audio equipment utilizes a ¼” socket for connection of headphones. In this instance, the headphones are ready to use as supplied with the ¼ screw-in adapter fitted.

Personal computers, media players and some consumer devices utilize an 1/8” socket for connection of headphones. In this instance, please un-screw the ¼ adapter from the tip of the cable to reveal the 1/8” connection. Please remember to store the adaptor safely so that it can be used when necessary.

Insert the headphone plug securely into the audio jack of the selected audio device.

NOTE: KRK recommends turning off all sound enhancements / special effects present in some consumer devices before use. This processing can prevent you from getting the best performance from your headphones.

WARNING: The KNS headphones when driven by high-powered headphone amplifiers have the capability to reproduce audio at levels which can damage hearing over time. Please ensure good care when connecting, setting up, and using your headphones. Keep in mind that your ears are the most important tool of your trade, please treat them accordingly.

WARNING: When plugging your headphones into a headphone amplifier, please make sure that the level control on the amplifier / mixer / audio interface is set to minimum and slowly raised to the required operating level.
