Check another input on the ROKIT. This will require a different cable. For example, if you

have a mixer connected to a ROKIT with a XLR or ¼” TRS cable, try another route and

connect the mixer to the ROKIT with an RCA cable. If there is still no sound, please contact

customer service.

Check that the cable used between the audio source and ROKIT is being used in the correct

application and that it is fully inserted into the socket. For additional information on signal

cables and connections, visit www.krksys.com. Inspect the cable for any frays or visible

damage. Often a bend near the plug end will cause damage to the cable and has to be

replaced. The ROKIT’s XLR and TRS will accept a balanced signal. If you are connected with a

unbalanced signal to the ROKIT through the XLR and TRS, be sure that PIN2 is the signal and

PIN1 & 3 are tied together at the source end.

Check that the audio source is indeed playing an audio signal to both left and right channels

and the sound is not bad. For example, verify audio is heard on the built-in speakers of a

laptop. Or connect headphones to the headphone jack of the mixer or audio interface. If

there is still no sound, than the audio source is the problem. Consult the audio source’s

literature for more information.

Check the audio source. The audio source can range from a laptop computer to a mixer or

audio interface. On all audio source devices, verify if there is a mute feature and confirm it is

not active. Also check if there is a balance control and that it is set to middle. Play a

continuous audio signal, such as a loop or song, and slowly increase the volume on the

audio source. If the ROKIT still has no sound or bad sound, follow the checklist:

A ROKIT pair contains a left and right side. Confirm which ROKIT produces no sound. Verify

that both left and right ROKIT’s have identical knob settings. Then simply move the audio

signal cable from the working ROKIT to the non-working ROKIT. If the non-working ROKIT

now produces sound, the previously used cable is the problem and needs to be replaced. If

there is still no sound, proceed with the next step.

Verify there is power to the ROKIT. The power switch needs to be in the ‘on’ position. The

power cord should be firmly placed into the IEC socket on the rear of the ROKIT and into the

AC outlet. The KRK logo on the front of the ROKIT will illuminate when the power switch is

‘on’. The ROKIT can be in an auto-mute condition. The auto-mute engages after 30 minutes

of no activity. To take the ROKIT out of the mute condition, simply play audio to the input of

the ROKIT. If the KRK logo does not illuminate, see box on the right. Or proceed with the

box below.

Basic Trouble Shooting – If you have a problem and are using a pair of ROKITs, check

whether both ROKITs have the problem. If both ROKITs have the problem it is likely not the

speakers. Focus on your setup.
