PLACEMENT

Ensure that you place the monitor with the power and input connections on the left side. Download and use the free KRK Audio Tools app for the next steps. The left and right studio monitors should be approximately 1 to 1.5 meters (3 to 5 feet) apart and directed at a 60-degree angle towards the listening location. Measure the distance between the left and right studio monitors and note that the listening position is the same distance to both sides. This will form an equilateral triangle. It is important that both left and right studio monitors are level matched.

The GoAux monitor series are a two-way studio monitor with a tweeter (producing high frequencies) and a woofer (producing mid and low frequencies) in one enclosure. The midpoint between the tweeter and woofer is the acoustic axis. Ensure the acoustic axis is pointed to ear level in the listening position. Use the tilting mechanism integrated into the isolation stands to orient the acoustic axis to the correct position.
