KRK Systems KREATE Serie Bedienungsanleitung Seite 7

IMPORTANT: Before powering up the KREATE SERIES monitors, be sure all connections
have been made. All faders and controls should be set to their minimum levels, and all
other equipment should be turned on prior to powering up your KRK monitors.
NOTE: Your KREATE SERIES monitors have friction lock Neutrik® combo input connectors
(K5 and K8 models). Use an XLR cable or TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) 1/4" balanced cable to
connect to your interface, mixing board, or monitor controller. Alternatively, use an 1/8"
stereo to dual 1/4" unbalanced adapter cable to hook up directly to a phone, computer,
or music player. If you purchased a K3 model, alternatively use the 1/8" stereo aux in to
hook up directly to a phone, computer, or music player. All KREATE SERIES also include
Bluetooth wireless audio streaming capability. To use the Bluetooth function, please see
the Bluetooth Operation section below. (CAUTION: Be sure the volume on your device is
set to minimum and then adjust to your ideal listening level.)
POWER UP
When you first power up the KREATE SERIES, the logo on the front of the unit illuminates.
The monitor will perform an internal boot sequence for approximately 5 seconds, and
then the monitor is ready to use.
STANDBY
Your monitors have the ability to automatically enter standby mode when they are not
used for more than 30 minutes. Automatic standby mode can be disabled by tapping
the Bluetooth button three times (see below). If you prefer to use automatic standby to
save energy, or if the power switches are hard to reach, leave the automatic standby on.
You will know the monitors are on standby when the power switch is "ON" and the KRK
logo is off.
To reactivate the monitors from standby mode, just add a minimum of -50 dB of signal
to the input. This will automatically reactivate the monitors. We recommend slowly
increasing your source level to avoid a full volume "jolt" of sound when the monitors
suddenly reactivate.
MONITOR BREAK IN
Now that you have set up your system, you should take the time to break in your new
monitors before performing any critical work or critical listening. The transducers (also
known as speakers or drivers) in your monitors are complex electromechanical devices
that need to "settle in" a bit to bring them to their optimal operating condition. During the
design and development process, KRK Systems' final tuning and voicing are performed
after the transducers are properly broken in, so after your monitors are broken in, they
will be in optimum operating condition.
We recommend either listening to or playing a broad range of dynamic music for about
30 hours at a slightly higher volume than you would normally listen to or playing full-
bandwidth pink noise at approximately +85dB SPL for 20 hours. The break-in time does
not need to be done continuously, so take your time and enjoy listening to some music
while you condition your monitors.
FACEPLATE AND TWEETER GRILLE
The KREATE SERIES monitors come with a protective grille over the tweeter to protect it
from debris or pokey fingers. The systems were voiced with this grille installed, so you
can have confidence that they will not affect the sound of your KREATE SERIES monitors.
