The Expose E8B is an extraordinary loudspeaker that is designed to perform exactly as its name suggests: expose the truth, enabling you to make informed decisions about the audio projects you work on. The KRK Expose E8B is the result of painstaking design that employs state-of-the-art components and has been thoroughly tested to meet and exceed the most demanding audio requirements. The result is a studio reference monitor that delivers defined low end, articulate midrange, and precise, natural highs—delivering unparalleled clarity and accuracy. This manual is intended to familiarize you with the many features of your new Expose monitors and their operation. We encourage you to take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with this manual. Thank you for choosing KRK! IMPORTANT NOTICE: It is rare that a unit is damaged during shipping. However, if this does occur, contact the shipping company immediately. Your Expose E8B monitors were originally packaged in a specially designed carton. We encourage you to keep these packing materials and to use them when shipping or transporting your monitors. 3 Design Philosophy A studio monitor is a tool used to aurally “measure” the changes in an audio path. Ask any seasoned recording professional what they think makes a great studio monitor and you’ll get basically the same answers: “Accuracy, transparency, flat response, and the truth.” Simply put, recording engineers want the electrical signal entering their monitor to be reproduced mechanically by the transducers and they want this to occur without any degradation or compromise to the original signal. Professionals depend upon their monitors to deliver their artistic vision in a way that will translate as accurately as possible to a variety of audio mediums. Technically, this is accomplished by designing a monitor that addresses three critically important criteria: Spectral Balance, Distortion Management, and Resonance Management. Spectral Balance (Timbre) Research confirms that a speaker with the proper spectral balance is most often considered a great studio monitor. Spectral balance is defined by: • Smooth on-axis response • Smooth octave to octave response • Smooth off-axis response From years of listening to feedback from some of the top engineers and producers, KRK engineers have come to understand how a properly tuned monitor can become a valuable recording tool. The Expose E8B has been designed to be linear and as ruler flat as is humanly possible so that what you hear represents the true nature of the audio material without coloration or enhancement. You can be confident in the fact that your mixes will be accurate and phase coherent. Distortion Management Any loss or addition to the audio signal is a distortion and this frequently occurs in the speakers themselves. The E8B has extremely low speaker distortion, which is difficult to achieve but was required for a monitor of this caliber. Various amplifier distortions have been eliminated as well; the most common being intermodulation, transient intermodulation, and harmonic distortion. Distortion can also occur when the waveform is impacted by physical conditions such as port turbulence and diffraction. KRK engineers implement design concepts that eliminate or minimize these damaging conditions. Resonance Management Resonance is the tendency of something to vibrate at a particular frequency after the energy source is removed. Resonances play a major role in impacting the performance of a speaker. KRK design elements minimize driver and enclosure resonance. 4 Design Elements The Enclosure The contoured shape of the Expose E8B enclosure creates a striking appearance; however, its design is every bit as functional as it is beautiful. More rigid than conventional rectangular designs, it improves the linearity of the bass response, and increases off-axis response, resulting in a wider sweet-spot. The E8B’s gently curved front baffle and wide-radius edges reduce the diffraction effects for better imaging. Cabinet rigidity is extremely important to a loudspeaker’s performance characteristics. A properly designed enclosure should not resonate and produce its own sound. All sound should emanate from the transducers and be focused in a single direction—from the front of the cabinet. With its non-parallel, internal walls, the E8B reduces the chances of standing waves inside the cabinet. The thinnest point in the construction of the cabinet walls is 1-inch. Further, the thickness of these walls is continuously variable due to the curvature of the enclosure’s exterior, which also helps prevent any resonant buildup in the walls themselves as a result of sound that is being transmitted from the drivers. Further, the base of the E8B is made from a non-slip, sound absorbing rubberized material that eliminates vibrations transferring to the surface the monitor is sitting on as well as insuring the enclosure will not “drift” on its pedestal, or mounting stand.
