System Control

INPUT SENSITIVITY

Input sensitivity is adjusted (counterclockwise reduces sensitivity) by the SYSTEM GAIN control found on the rear panel. Adjustment range is from -30dB to +6dB. Factory preset gain is +6dB, which should suffice for most conditions. Normally adjustments would be made if you’re using your V6 in a surround system and you need to balance levels or if your monitor send is too hot and not adjustable. If an adjustment is needed, you’ll need a small flathead screwdriver and measuring equipment such as a tone or filtered noise generator and SPL meter.

Connecting Your System

POWERING ON

All connections should be made, all faders and controls should be set at their minimum levels, and all other equipment should be powered on prior to powering on your V6 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. A yellow LED illuminates the trademarked KRK Triangle on the front baffle when power is applied.

NOTE: MAKE SURE THAT THE VOLTAGE INDICATOR FOUND IN THE MIDDLE PORTION OF THE IEC MAINS CONTROL IS SET TO THE CORRECT VOLTAGE SETTING FOR YOUR VOLTAGE.

CHANGING VOLTAGE

To change the voltage, remove the power cord, pry off the fuse block with a small flathead screwdriver (look for indent on the left inside of the power cord insert). Slide the circuit board out of the fuse block, rotate 180º and reinstall the fuse block. Please note when making fuse changes, the fuses will have to be replaced. (see

Changing Fuses section below) Make sure and align the white arrow with the raised arrow located on the power entry module before reinstalling. Check to see if the correct voltage can be read from left to right in the voltage window before powering up.

CHANGING FUSES

Under normal operation the fuses should not blow. A blown fuse usually indicates an overload or fault condition. To change the fuse, remove the power cord, pry off the fuse block with a small flathead screwdriver (look for indent on the left inside of the power cord insert) and change the blown fuses.

∙100~120VAC use 3.0 amp 250V 5mm x 20mm fuses

∙220~240VAC use 1.5 amp 250V 5mm x 20mm fuses

V6 specifications

Leveraging KRK's renowned reputation for quality sound reproduction, the V6 stands out with its impressive features and advanced technologies, making it an ideal choice for professional and home studios alike.

One of the standout features of the KRK V6 is its bi-amped design, which incorporates separate amplifiers for the woofer and tweeter, allowing for improved audio clarity and dynamic range. The low-end is powered by a 6.5-inch Kevlar woofer, which ensures a tight and accurate bass response, while the 1-inch tweeter delivers smooth, detailed highs. This combination allows for a well-balanced sound profile that translates well across various playback systems.

KRK’s signature front-firing bass port facilitates low-frequency response without boundary coupling, which is crucial for maintaining accuracy during mixing. This innovative design helps in reducing unwanted resonances that can distort the sound, ensuring a cleaner listening experience. The V6 also incorporates KRK's proprietary DSP-driven room tuning technology, which allows users to adapt the monitor’s response to their specific listening environment. This feature includes adjustable EQ settings that help tailor the sound to compensate for acoustic anomalies in the room.

In terms of build quality, the V6 features a sleek, modern design that not only looks impressive but is also optimized for sound performance. Its robust enclosure minimizes resonance and prevents unwanted coloration of sound, further allowing for an accurate mixing experience.

The KRK V6 is equipped with balanced XLR and TRS inputs, providing versatile connectivity options suitable for various studio setups. This versatility makes it easier for audio professionals to integrate the monitor into any existing system seamlessly.

Overall, the KRK V6 is an exceptional studio monitor that delivers high-quality sound reproduction, advanced room correction technologies, and flexible connectivity. Whether you’re mixing tracks, producing music, or simply enjoying your favorite tunes, the KRK V6 promises a listening experience that is both precise and enjoyable, making it a valuable addition to any audio setup.
