KRK Full-line Speaker Monitor Portable Speaker User Manual


 
When we design our products we always start with the question “what does the customer really want?” The usual terms get thrown around like accuracy,
reliability, precision, and many more marketing buzzwords. Important words about what the product should be… but not necessarily speaking to what users really need. A product
they can trust! Engineers and Artists need products they can put their faith in. Ones that deliver a true acoustic interpretation of the mix. Sounds Simple… but it isn’t so simple when
it comes to these complex designs.
At KRK we take design and performance very seriously. If it’s not right… it won’t go to market… period! That is the kind dedication we pour into every product. And we do that
because we know our customers have come to trust us for that. We know they are dedicated to their music and the products they use deserve the same design dedication.
This “design first” mentality is what the company was founded on and has helped KRK become an industry leader in this highly specialized market.
Great sound doesn’t start with the studio, the microphone or the latest wiz-bang sampling device. It starts in the heart, and it starts with the truth — the very essence of the KRK design
philosophy. This is why we come to work everyday. To deliver products that are true to the legacy that KRK was founded on.

Room Correction Turns room correction processing on or off.
Focus/Global Our 3D model allows users to preserve the “good” features of the room, while correcting the bad. ERGO also doesn’t color the sound or produce an artificial anechoic environment. In
Focus mode, ERGO corrects for your monitoring position. This gives you perfectly corrected sound while mixing. In Global mode, the corrected spot is widened so that others (producers, musicians,
groupies) can enjoy your mix in a corrected environment.
Headphone Volume (side panel) Adjusts the output level of the headphone jack. The headphones have their own independent audio stream, or can mirror the A stream.
Calibration Switch (back panel) this enables the room calibration microphone and places ERGO into analysis mode.
