Krell Industries KAV-250p Stereo Amplifier User Manual


 
Placement, continued
Place the KAV-250p on a firm level sur-
face, away from excessive heat, humi-
dity or moisture. Other components may be
placed on or around the KAV-250p, since
the KAV-250p is not particularly hum sensi-
tive.
You may experiment with feet or cones as
long as they are not permanently affixed to
the chassis. Any unauthorized modifications
to the electronics or chassis will void the war-
ranty.
AC Power Guidelines
WARNING
Do not remove or bypass the ground pin on
the end of the AC cord. This may cause RFI
(radio frequency interference) to be induced
into your playback system.
The KAV-250p has superb regulation and
does not require a dedicated AC circuit.
Avoid connections through extension cords
or multiple AC adapters. High quality 15 amp
grounded AC strips are acceptable. High
quality AC line conditioners or filters can be
used if they are grounded.
Connecting the KAV-250p
to Your System
WARNING
When making connections to this compo-
nent or any other, make sure the power
amplifier is Off and the KAV-250p is in the
Mute or Stand-by mode. Make sure all cable
terminations are of the highest quality, free
from frayed ends, shorts, or cold solder joints.
Inputs
The KAV-250p is equipped with three pairs
of single-ended inputs via RCA connectors
(S-1, S-2, and S-3/PR), one single-ended
tape input via RCA connectors (Tape), and
one pair balanced input via XLR connectors
(B-l). The S-1 and S-2 inputs are standard
single-ended inputs. The S-3/PR has a user
configurable option. The S3/PR input is ~et
as a standard input from the factory, and it
may be set for use as a surround processor
throughput. See Optional Configurations,
on page 8.
The XLR input pin configuration is described
below:
Pin 1 Ground
Pin 2 Non-inverting (0
°)
Pin 3 Inverting (180
°)
Outputs
Outputs include one pair single-ended output
via RCA connectors, one single-ended tape
output via RCA connectors, and one pair bal-
anced output via XLR connectors. Both RCA
and XLR outputs are active at all times,
allowing simultaneous connections to sepa-
rate amplifiers or separate systems. Do not
connect both outputs to a single stereo ampli-
fier at one time.
