2 Systems Controls SYSTEM GAIN Input sensitivity is adjusted (counterclockwise reduces sensitivity) through a rear panel mounted trim control. Adjustment range is from - 30dB to +6dB. Factory preset gain is +6dB, which should suffice for most conditions.
3 Connecting Your System POWERING ON All connections should be made, all faders and controls should be set at their minimum levels, and all other equipment should be powered on prior to powering on your V - 88 monitors. Th e power On/Off switch is located on the rear panel and is internationally marked to indicate the operational status.
4 Installing Your Mon itors 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.
5 Mid - Field Configuration – This configuration is basically the same as the Close - Field set - up. (see Figure 2) It is normally used with larger monitors or when the monitors are too large or heavy for the meter bridge. This set - up has the potential for a larger sweet spot and better spatial imaging.
6 5.1 CHANNEL SURROUND SET - UP Begin set - up by placing the Left and Right front channels 30º degrees from the Center channel and equidis tant to the listening position ( Figure 4 ). The Left Surround (Rear) and Right Surround (Rear) channels should be placed 110º degrees from the Center channel.
7 Design Goals K RK’s design goal for your V - 88 was to create a monitor capable of accurately reproducing sound with clarity and accuracy. Other monitors in the marketplace tend to modify, extend, or “tilt” their response above 1 kHz to sound more “spatial, exciting and i mpressive”.
8 Tr oubleshooting 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 Volta ge in the Connecting the System section on page 3).
9 • Play some non - distorted source material at a low volume. Carefully cover the tweeter (to block the sound) without touching the diaphragm. Is th e 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.
