KRK G2 manual Adding a Subwoofer

Mid-Field Configuration – This configuration is similar to the Close-Field configuration. It is normally used with larger monitors or when the monitors are too large or heavy to be placed on the work surface. This set up has the potential for a larger sweet spot and better spatial imaging. Make sure that the monitor is high enough so that the woofer is not obscured by your mixing surface or studio furniture (refer to Figure 2).

Adding a Subwoofer

Note that KRK subwoofers are optimized for use with KRK full range monitors. Begin by determining the best location for your subwoofer. If possible, the optimum set up would reflect that shown in Figure 3; however, this set up may not be practical, or possible, in your room. Once you have set up your monitors, listen to program material that you know contains low frequency information. If your subwoofer has a phase switch, adjust the subwoofer to provide the highest frequency setting possible. Flip the switch back and forth to find the loudest setting. Then adjust the sub’s low pass filter so that it works in conjunction with the satellite’s high pass frequencies. When you have finished, readjust the level of the sub.
