Krell Industries KPS-20i Stereo Amplifier User Manual


 
KPS-20i AND KPS-20i/I DETAILS
This is a description of the additional features and functions common to the
KPS-20i and KPS-20i/I. Please contact your KRELL dealer or the KRELL staff
for assistance if there are any questions not covered~in this Reference. Please
refer to the KPS-20i and KPS-20i/I Typical System Setups illustrations on
pages 24 and 25.
CAUTION: When making connections to this component or any other, make sure
the power amplifier is OFF and the preamplifier is in the MUTE or STANDBY
mode.
ANALOG OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
The KPS-20i and KPS-20i/I are equipped with two analog output
configurations: Single-ended via RCA connectors and balanced via XLR
connectors. If your preamplifier has high level balanced inputs, we recommend
the balanced outputs be used. There are considerable sonic benefits to be
gained with use of the balanced format.
The XLR pin configuration is described below.
Pin 1
Ground
Pin 2 Non-inverting (0
°)
Pin 3
Inverting ( 180
°)
The left and right channel RCA and balanced outputs are labeled on the back
panel. Care should be taken that the correct left/right orientation is
maintained.
NOTE: These two outputs can be used to simultaneously feed different systems.
EMPHASIS LED
Emphasis is part of an encode/decode recording technique. Discs and/or
tracks that were recorded with this process will cause the Emphasis LED to
illuminate. When the Emphasis LED is lit the appropriate circuitry is activated
to provide fiat frequency response. ~
