OPERATION
Following are the definitions of key terms used in your owner’s refer-
ence manual.
Balanced
A symmetrical input or output circuit that has equal impedance from
both input terminals to a common ground reference point. The indus-
try standard for professional and sound recording installations, bal-
anced connections have 6 dB more gain than single-ended connec-
tions and allow the use of long interconnect cables. Balanced con-
nections are completely immune to induced noise from the system or
the environment.
Single-ended
A two-wire input or output circuit. Use care when using single-ended
connections as the ground connection is made last and broken first.
Turn the system off prior to making or breaking single-ended connec-
tions, Single-ended connections are not recommended for connec-
tions requiring long cable runs.
Off
When power button on the front panel or remote control is pressed
and the blue power LED tums off, the component is off.
Operational Mode
When the power button on the front panel or remote control is
pressed and the blue power LED illuminates, the component is in
the operational mode and ready to play music,
Stand-by Mode
A low power consumption status that keeps the audio and regulator
circuits at idle. Krell recommends leaving the component in the
stand-by mode when it is not playing music.
