With the DSP ROOM TUNING eqs, we have given you 25 different combinations of EQ voicings to help you correct for your studio’s acoustics to deliver more accurate monitoring. See below for an explanation of the EQ choices we are giving you. Start with both the LOW EQ and HIGH EQ settings set to 3: FLAT. Set your monitors up in your room according to the diagram below. Listen to some of your favorite songs and mixes. Try different positions in your room and placement before making EQ adjustments and then adjust the EQ to give you your best listening and monitoring experience. Tip: See the full manual online for more advice on speaker placement and room management.The HOME SCREEN is what you see when you power up your monitor. It gives you instant feedback for volume and EQ settings. From here you can press the VOLUME knob to access EQ, SETUP and more. VOLUME is set at the factory to 0 dB or proffesionally known as +4 dBu input sensitivity. Increase/decrease this equally on both monitors in .1 dB steps to set the volume to your desired level or to level match these to other monitors in your studio. From the MENU screen select EQ to access the EQ settings.

LOW EQ L. SHELF Cut (minus) settings are wall-coupling filters. These EQ settings roll off the low-end that can build up the closer you get to walls. L. SHELF Boost (plus) setting will add low-end if you need more thump, set these to your taste. L.PEQ is a parametric EQ with a wide Q. It does not cut your low-end as it cuts low mid-frequencies. It is called a desk filter and it helps you if you have a large mixing board aka “desk” or an actual large desk, you can get a buildup in the low-mids that can cause muddiness. Note: one setting utilizes both the wall coupling filter and the desk filter. HIGH EQ H. SHELF and H. PEQ EQs are all for you to set to your mixing taste. If you feel you need more, or less high-mids or highs, adjust these until you are happy. Some studios are bright and need less highs, while some studios are dark and need more highs. From the MENU screen select SETUP to adjust overall system preferences.

BACKLIGHT In a dim studio, a darker backlight is easier on the eyes. To adjust your backlight to the lighting in the room, turn it down until it's too dim, and then slowly bring it up until it feels comfortable to look at. CONTRAST Once your monitors are in place, set for maximum image focus based on your viewing angle. STANDBY Use this to engage or disengage the standby. If standby is engaged the unit will go into sleep mode 30 minutes after no signal is detected. The monitors will wake up once you send signal to them again. LOGO Selects the front KRK logo; ON, DIM or OFF. Set it to your desired setting according to the ambient light in your studio. FACTORY RESET Use this to restore to default monitor settings. LOCK Settings can’t be changed until you unlock.WARRANTY INFORMATION To Register Merchandise Purchased from an Authorized Gibson Pro Audio Dealer, go to www.gibson.com and register online.
