The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.

Do not place this unit on an unstable cart, stand or tripod, bracket or table. The unit may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult and serious damage to the unit. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod,

bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the unit. Any mounting of the device on a wall or ceiling should

follow the manufacturer’s instructions and should use a mounting

accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

1.“An apparatus with Class I construction shall be connected to a mains sockets outlet with protective earthing connection.”

2.“Where the mains plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the disconnection device shall remain readily operable.”

3.“1A fuse is used to US market, voltage will be set to 115V before shipment: 500mA fuse is used to European market, voltage will be set to 230V before shipment.”

Read and follow all the safety and operating instructions before connecting or using this unit. Retain this notice and the owners manual for future reference.

All warnings on the unit and in its operating instructions should be adhered to.

Do not use this unit near water; for example, near a bath tub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.

The unit should be installed so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, it should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings; or placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet, that may impede the flow of air through its ventilation openings.

The unit should be situated from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other devices (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

The unit should be connected to a power supply outlet only of the voltage and frequency marked on its rear panel.

The power supply cord should be routed so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched, especially near the plug, convenience receptacles, or where the cord exits from the unit.

Unplug the unit from the wall outlet before cleaning. Never use benzine, thinner or other solvents for cleaning. Use only a soft damp cloth.

The power supply cord of the unit should be unplugged from the wall outlet when it is to be unused for a long period of time.

Care should be taken so that objects do not fall, and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through any openings.

This unit should be serviced by qualified service personnel when: A. The power cord or the plug has been damaged; or

B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the unit; or C. The unit has been exposed to rain or liquids of any kind; or D. The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a

marked change in performance; or

E. The device has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.

ATTENTION

POUR …VITER LES CHOC ELECTRIQUES, INTRODUIRE LA LAME LA PLUS LARGE DE LA FICHE DANS LA BORNE CORRESPONDANTE DE LA PRISE ET POUSSER JUSQUíAU FOND.

CAUTION

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT FULLY INSERT.

If an indoor antenna is used (either built into the set or installed separately), never allow any part of the antenna to touch the metal parts of other electrical appliances such as a lamp, TV set etc.

CAUTION

POWER LINES

Any outdoor antenna must be located away from all power lines.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING

If an outside antenna is connected to your tuner or tuner- preamplifier, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for the grounding electrode.

a. Use No. 10 AWG (5.3mm2) copper, No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2) aluminium, No. 17 AWG (1.0mm2) copper-clad steel or bronze wire, or larger, as a ground wire.

b. Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-off insulators spaced from 4-6 feet (1.22 - 1.83 m) apart.

c. Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where lead- in enters house.

d. Use jumper wire not smaller than No.6 AWG (13.3mm2) copper, or the equivalent, when a separate antenna-grounding electrode is used. see NEC Section 810-21 (j).

EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN ARTICLE 810 - RADIO AND TELEVISION EQUIPMENT.

NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installers attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the ground cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

DO NOT ATTEMPT SERVICING OF THIS UNIT YOURSELF. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL

Upon completion of any servicing or repairs, request the service shops assurance that only Factory Authorized Replacement Parts with the same characteristics as the original parts have been used, and that the routine safety checks have been performed to guarantee that the equipment is in safe operating condition.

REPLACEMENT WITH UNAUTHORIZED PARTS MAY RESULT IN FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR OTHER HAZARDS.

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.
