Evolution 222
Stereo Preamplifier
QUICK SETUP GUIDE
Getting Started
T
hank you for your purchase of the Krell Evolution 222 Stereo Preamplifier. The Evo-
lution 222 features Krell Current Mode circuit topologies, Krell CAST technology,
and a robust power supply for exceptional audio performance. A thoughtful suite
of menu options ensures that the Evolution 222 can be customized for the greatest
e
ase of operation.
Please contact your authorized dealer, distributor, or Krell if you have any questions
not addressed in the owner’s reference.
The preamplifier’s front panel provides power on, input and zone selection, level
control, menu functions, and status display. The rear panel allows connection to
audio sources, power amplifiers, AC power, and other system components.
The remote control provides power, preamplifier, level control, navigation and
customization functions, CD and DVD player controls and menu configuration.
Do not place the preamplifier where it could be exposed to dripping or splashing.
Do not remove or bypass the ground pin on the end of the AC cord. This may cause radio fre-
quency interference (RFI) to be introduced into your playback system.
The ventilation grids on the top and bottom of the preamplifier must be unobstructed at all
times during operation. Do not place flammable material on top of or beneath the component.
Turn off all systems’ power before connecting the preamplifier to any component.
Make sure all cable terminations are of the highest quality, free from frayed ends, short circuits,
or cold solder joints.

lation.

adapters. High quality 15 amp AC strips are acceptable. The use of AC line condi-
