Welcome to the new KRK Systems Generation 3 ROKIT studio monitor, the world’s most
respected manufacturer of studio reference monitors. In our state of the art design facility,
we create products that deliver a natural and balanced spectral response with low
distortion and superior imaging. With KRK Systems studio monitors, recording engineers
and artists hear every nuance of the audio being reproduced.
SYSTEM CONTROLS
VOLUME - Volume knob sets the input system gain. The usual scenario
is to set the knob at the maximum setting (+6dB as shipped from the
factory) and adjust the input level from your audio source. Use the
volume knob to match the left and right studio monitors.
HF ADJUSTMENT - The High Frequency adjustment may be used to
tailor a listening style preference. The factory setting is flat (knob is in
the 0dB position).
LF ADJUSTMENT – The Low Frequency adjustment may be used to
adjust for the room acoustics and personal preference. Room acoustics
may dictate which type of adjustment you need to make to retain the
proper frequency response from the studio monitor. For example,
placement near a wall or corner will boost the low frequencies.
