Krell Industries KRC-3 Stereo Amplifier User Manual


 
INPUT AND OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
CAUTIONS: When making connections to this or any other component, make sure
all components are OFF. Make sure all cable terminations are of the highest
quality, free from frayed ends, shorts, or cold solder joints.
1. Connect the left and right outputs of your source components to the input
on the KRC-3.
The KRC-3 is equipped with four single-ended inputs (S1, $2, S3/proc, and
S4/tape) and one balanced input (B1). The S1 and $2 inputs are standard
single-ended inputs while S3/proc and S4/tape have user-configurable
options. The S3/proc and S4/tape are set as standard inputs from the
factory. The S3/proc input can be set for use as a surround processor
throughput and the S4/tape can be set as a tape monitor input. Both
options will be discussed on page 6 in Optional Configurations.
2. Connect the output of the KRC-3 to the input of your power amplifier.
The KRC-3 has balanced outputs via XLR type connectors and single-ended
outputs via RCA type connectors. Both outputs are active at all times,
allowing simultaneous connection to separate amplifiers. Only one of these
outputs should be connected to a single stereo amplifier.
NOTE: When connecting inputs or outputs to the KRC-3, remember that the
balanced connections will have 6dB more gain than the single-ended
connections. When level matching is critical in your installation, keep this
specification in mind.
3. Plug the AC cord into the receptacle on the back of the KRC-3. Plug the
remaining end into the AC wall receptacle. The blue pilot LED will
illuminate, and the KRC-3 will be ready for operation.
