Krell Industries KAV-1500 Stereo Amplifier User Manual


 
Placement
Before you integrate the KAV-1500 into your system, review the following guidelines to
choose the location for the component. This will facilitate a clean, trouble-free
installation.
The KAV-1500 requires at least two inches (5 cm) of clearance on each side and
least two inches (5 cm) of clearance above the component to provide adequate
ventilation.
The KAV-1500 does not require any type of special rack or cabinet for installation. For
the dimensions of your amplifier see Specifications, on page 23.
Place the amplifier as close to the loudspeakers as possible and keep the speaker
cable length to a minimum. Speaker cable adds impedance to the load the amplifier
must drive, regardless of the cable’s gauge. Krell amplifiers drive the lowest
impedances with ease, but long speaker cables reduce the maximum power that is
delivered to the loudspeakers.
AC POWER GUIDELINES
Krell recommends operating each amplifier from a dedicated 15-amp AC power line.
For maximum power output, operate the KAV-1500 amplifier from a dedicated 20-amp
AC power line.
