Krell KAV–280p 1
Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the Krell KAV–280p Remote
Control Preamplifier. The KAV-280p uses current mode and sur-
face mount technologies derived directly from the state-of-the-art
Krell KCT Preamplifier.
The Class A direct-coupled design of the KAV–280p means that
the signal path is fully balanced from input to output. This includes
a fully balanced volume control. Circuits are powered by a dedicat-
ed supply with discrete voltage regulators and there is a separate,
dedicated power supply for all digital control circuits. All signal
switching is accomplished via hermetically sealed multiple contact
precision relays.
The KAV–280p provides a high level of operational convenience
and functional versatility. It is easy to integrate into your system.
The remote control accesses all amplifier functions, and remote
control connection options on the back panel allow the KAV–280p
to be easily connected with other components. With its unique
Theater Throughput
TM
feature, the KAV–280p can easily adapt to
home theater applications.
