Troubleshooting

Problem: If there is no power, check to see if...

∙The power cord is plugged into both the IEC socket on the rear panel of the unit and into the AC mains

∙The AC mains voltage is matched to the operating voltage requirements (See Changing Voltage in the Connecting the System section on page 3). If the AC mains voltage is higher than the V-8’s selected voltage it is possible that the fuse needs to be replaced. (See Changing Fuses in the Connecting the System section on page 3).

∙The power light is illuminated on the front panel of the V6. If not, turn the power switch OFF and check the A/C mains fuse(s). NEVER USE A LARGER AMPERAGE FUSE THAN IS SPECIFIED! Turn the power switch back on. The power light should illuminate.

∙If a fuse change was needed and upon powering the monitor back up the fuse(s) blow again, the monitor needs to be returned to the dealer where you purchased it, or to KRK for servicing.

Problem: If you can't hear any sound...

∙Repeat steps in the previous troubleshooting section above before continuing to the next steps.

∙Check to see if all other audio devices using the same AC outlet are still operating.

∙Make sure that:

∙The audio source cable is plugged into both the source output and the monitor input.

∙The System Gain pot is turned up fully clockwise (+ 6 dB).

∙The signal source (E.g. mixing console, work station, CD player, etc.) is turned up to a level that can properly send a signal to the monitors.

∙If one of the monitors is working. Exchange the audio input cable from the non-working monitor to the working unit. This will determine whether it's really the monitor, a faulty cable, or some other glitch in the audio chain.

∙If the monitor is still not responding, it should be returned to the dealer where you purchased it, or to KRK for servicing.

Problem: If the monitor suddenly stops working...

∙Turn the monitor send down or off.

∙Repeat steps in the troubleshooting sections above before continuing to the next steps.

∙Carefully check to see if the amplifier's back plate is hot! If the monitor has been running at highest power output for an extended period of time, it could be that the unit has become overheated and the protection circuitry has shut the system down momentarily. The V6 provides maximum circuitry protection against AC power surges, amplifier overdrive, and overheating of the amplifiers. Turn the monitor off then wait 30 minutes to allow the back plate to cool down. Turn the power switch back on.

∙Increase the volume to check for normal operation.

∙If the monitor is still not responding, it should be returned to the dealer where you purchased it, or to KRK for servicing.

Problem: The sound quality changes...

∙Repeat steps in the previous 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 or tweeter or both) is at fault. It's also possible that the problem lies somewhere in the electronics.

V6 specifications

The KRK V6 is a prominent studio monitor that combines innovation and acoustic expertise, designed to meet the needs of musicians, producers, and audio engineers. 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.
