BASIC INSTALLATION
LOCATION
Place the KSA on a firm level surface away from excessive dirt or moisture.
When using custom racks or cabinetry, keep in mind the weight and
ventilation requirements for these amplifiers. Ideally the amplifier should be
placed as close to the speakers as possible. It is preferable to run long
balanced interconnect cables to the amplifier and keep speaker cable length
to a minimum. Speaker cable adds impedance to the load the amplifier must
drive, regardless of the cable’s gauge. All KRELL amplifiers will drive the
lowest impedances with ease, but when impedance is added due to long
cable lengths, amplifier power is literally wasted in driving the cable. Long
speaker cables reduce the maximum power that can be delivered to the
speakers.
REMOTE TURN-ON INSTALLATION
Some installations do not have adequate space or arrangement flexibility for
the amplifier to be placed near the speakers. To allow for this, the KSA
¯ amplifiers can be turned On or Offfrom a room other than the listening room.
This type of amplifier placement is referred to as Remote Installation. The
KSA can be placed in a room or space close to the speakers, but out of sight,
and turned On and Off from the listening room. There is a provision
internally to allow the amplifier to be controlled from a wall AC receptacle
and not from the front panel power switch or remote control. We suggest a
standard wall switch be mounted in the listening room to control an AC
power outlet dedicated to the power amplifier. This can be accomplished by
an electrician. Please contact your dealer for assistance.
NOTE: When set-up for remote turn-on, the front panel power switch will not
operate, nor will the power switch on the remote control. The meter switches
on the front panel and remote are not affected and will operate normally.
NOTE: Remember to keep speaker cable lengths to a minimum.
