The sound quality changes...

• Repeat the steps in the Troubleshooting section above before continuing to the next steps.

• Disconnect the signal cable at the input of the monitor. With power on, place your ear close to each driver (tweeter/woofer) and listen for noise (i.e. a slight hiss or hum). If there’s absolutely no sound whatsoever, it could be that one or more of the drivers (woofer, tweeter or both) is at fault. It’s also possible that the problem lies somewhere in the electronics.

• Play some non-distorted source material at a low volume. Carefully cover the tweeter (to block the sound) without touching the diaphragm. Is the woofer producing a clean sound? If there is not a clear tonal quality, or any sound at all, then the woofer probably needs to be replaced.

• Cover the woofer so you can hear mostly the tweeter. Is the tweeter producing a clear sound? If there is not a clear tonal quality, or any sound at all, then the tweeter probably needs to be replaced.

• Once you have a better idea of what may be at fault then call us and speak with someone in the service department. They will help you determine the best solution to correct your monitors. The service department can be reached at 954-316-1580.

The monitor hisses, hums or makes other loud noises...

Here are some suggestions that will help you eliminate these undesirables from your system:

•Make sure that the power cord is plugged snugly into the IEC socket on the rear of the monitor.

•Check the connections between the signal source and the monitor. The RoKit G2’s XLR and TRS connectors are a completely balanced system. If you’re connecting an unbal anced output to the monitor, be sure that you’re using Pin 2 for signal and have Pin 1 and Pin 3 tied together at the source end.

•Refer to the Connecting Your System section on page 6 of this manual to ensure that the AC mains is matched to the operating voltage requirements.

•All audio equipment should use the same ground point. Check all other devices using the same AC output in the building such as dimmers, neon signs, TV screens, and computer monitors. These devices should not be using the same circuit.

Please read the warranty card that was included in the shipping carton of your monitor prior to sending it back to KRK Systems, LLC. All products in need of repair can be returned to the dealer where they were purchased or to KRK Systems, LLC.

Before shipping your unit back to KRK for service you must acquire a Return Material Au- thorizaion (RMA) from KRK. Your unit will not be received by the company, nor will any work be done on your unit without this number. Please call KRK at 954-316-1580 to request your RMA.

G2 specifications

The KRK G2, part of the well-respected KRK line of studio monitors, represents a significant advancement in audio technology, designed for both professionals and enthusiasts in music production and sound design. With a commitment to delivering accurate sound reproduction, the G2 series continues to be a popular choice among audio engineers, producers, and musicians.

One of the standout features of the KRK G2 monitors is their bi-amplified design. Each speaker is equipped with separate amplifiers for the high and low frequencies, which translates to better dynamic range and improved performance. The bi-amplification ensures that the speakers can handle a wide range of frequencies without distortion, allowing for clearer and more accurate sound reproduction.

The G2 series incorporates KRK’s proprietary Kevlar drivers that provide consistent sonic performance across the entire frequency spectrum. The use of Kevlar results in a more rigid and durable driver, reducing coloration and enabling a more transparent sound. This is especially important for monitoring applications where precision is key.

Another notable feature of the KRK G2 monitors is the front-firing bass port. This design enhances the low-end response without compromising the overall sound quality. It allows for better placement of the monitors in smaller spaces while minimizing boundary coupling, resulting in a clearer and more defined bass response. Additionally, the monitor’s frequency response ranges from 38 Hz to 40 kHz, providing an extensive range that caters to varied audio applications.

The G2 series also includes user-friendly controls such as front panel volume, and rear-panel EQ adjustments that allow for fine-tuning the monitor’s performance based on the specific acoustic characteristics of the room. This flexibility makes them suitable for a wide range of environments, from home studios to professional recording setups.

Furthermore, the KRK G2 monitors come with a sleek, modern design that not only looks appealing but also enhances their functionality. The distinctive yellow cone is emblematic of KRK's identity and serves as a visual cue of the premium audio performance users can expect.

In conclusion, the KRK G2 monitors combine innovative technologies with user-focused features to deliver an exceptional listening experience. With their bi-amplified design, Kevlar drivers, front-firing bass port, and adjustable EQ options, they empower creators to achieve high-quality sound reproduction, making them a favored choice in the competitive arena of audio monitoring. Whether you are a seasoned professional or an aspiring music producer, the KRK G2 series offers the tools you need to fine-tune your audio projects.
