Connecting Your System

OFF

IMPORTANT: All connections should be made, all fader and controls should be set at their minimum levels, and all other equipment should be powered prior to powering up your KRK10s subwoofer. If you are connecting the sub’s Line Outs to your monitors, turn monitor power on after the subwoofer.

NOTE: Ensure that the voltage indicator found in the voltage selector is set to the correct voltage setting for your local supply.

Powering On

The power On/Off switch is located on the rear panel. The triangle in the KRK logo on the rear plate illuminates when power is applied.

Changing Voltage

To change the voltage, remove the power cord and slide the voltage selector to the desired voltage setting. Please note that when making voltage changes, the fuses will have to be replaced (refer to the Changing Fuses section below).

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 and change the blown fuses. Refer to the Specifications section for fuse current ratings.

NOTE: If the fuses blow immediately upon power up, this indicates a fault condition and the monitor should be returned to KRK for repair.
