QUESTIONS AND ANSWER
Q. My speakers axe only rated for 150 watts, is the KSA-200 or KSA-300
going to be too much power for them?
A. Seldom do you break a speaker by over powering it. Usually lower powered
amplifiers will clip driving a loud speaker during heavy demand situations
and consequentially damage the speaker. KRELL amplifiers can break
speakers, but a responsible listener should know the limitations of his/her
system and exercise caution. The higher powered KRELL amplifiers will
sound better because of the increased control over the speaker. Should you
have any questions contact your dealer or the KRELL staff for assistance.
Q. When I connected the KSA to my system with the single-ended inputs a
loud buzz came through my speakers. Is the amplifier broken?
A. The KSA has special shorting pins in the XLR inputs that enable the
amplifier to function properly with the single-ended inputs. If the shorting
pins are not inserted between pin 1 and 3 the 180 degree input will be open
to excess noise.
Otherwise single-ended inputs will work fine with the unit. The performance
of the amplifier is much improved when using the balanced inputs.
