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

NEUTRIK® COMBO CONNECTOR

The Neutrik® Combo connector accommodates ¼” phone plugs, XLR, TRS. Please note that PIN 2 is hot! If you are using an unbalanced connection make sure and wire PIN 1 and PIN 3 together at the source end.

Installing Your Monitors

The close-field monitor, by definition, reduces room interaction. This can be compared to the conventional stereo configuration or the large monitor arrangement in a recording studio where sounds emanating from the monitor or reflecting off ceilings, walls, and floors greatly affect the sound quality. By shortening the path to the ear, the close-field monitor offers a tremendous amount of flexibility, allowing the sound to become less susceptible to differing room conditions.

Placing the monitor close to a rear wall, sidewall, or a corner will reinforce the low frequencies. Generally speaking, if you move them two to three feet away from walls and corners, you'll hear less low frequency interaction (excluding any interaction with the mixing console).

Positioning Your Monitors

Positioning your monitors correctly in the studio is critical to their performance. Typically, they should be placed so that that the listening position is fully "covered" with all monitors resting on the same horizontal plane. A great way to test a monitor for its imaging capability is to play back a CD or DVD recorded acoustically in stereo (or one recorded in surround sound if you have a surround sound set-up). We recommend acoustic music because it represents the spectrum of sound.) You can adjust the angle of each monitor by listening for dead spots. Keep in mind, changing the angle or position of a monitor will change the sound.

2-CHANNEL SET-UP

Close-Field Configuration - In a control room situation, the monitors are often times placed on the meter bridge or in a close-field listening position. Initial placement starts by measuring out a simple equilateral triangle (all three sides equal in length) with the apex at the center of the listening position (as shown in Figure 1) as an "overlay" for the stereo installation. In this configuration, the Left and Right monitors are each placed at a 60º angle equidistant from the listening position.

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.
