User Manual

KRK subwoofers include a built-in crossover and amplifier, so you only need the
appropriate hook up cables to integrate it into your existing monitor system. First, you’ll
need to connect a pair of cables from the stereo monitor outputs of your console or audio
hardware device to the left and right XLR, 1/4” or RCA input jacks on the subwoofer. Next,
if you are using the internal 80Hz high-pass filter built into the subwoofer for the existing
full-range monitors (and most of you will), hook the left and right XLR or RCA output jacks
on the subwoofer to the corresponding line-level inputs of your powered full-range speak-
ers or stereo amplifier.

Subwoofer Hook Up with Active Monitors
If you are using active (powered) monitors, you’ll first need to connect a pair of cables from
the stereo monitor outputs of your console or audio hardware device to the Left and Right
XLR, 1/4”, or RCA input jacks on the subwoofer. Next, simply use XLR or RCA cables to con-
nect the outputs of the subwoofer to the inputs of your monitors. The output marked “Left”
should go to your left monitor, and the output marked “Right” should go to your right mon-
itor.
