QUESTIONS AND ANSWER
Q. Should I leave the KSA on at all times?
A. Because of Sustained Plateau Bias, the KSA can be left on at all times
without fear of damage, excessive heat or excessive power consumption. The
KSA amplifier however, is designed to be turned On/Off, and can do so
without degradation. The amplifier will work at full performance within
minutes of turn-on.
Q. When I push the power button on the front of the KSA, the amplifier
doesn’t turn on. What should I do?
A. Check the input and output connections, then retry the amplifier. Check
the circuit breaker on the back of the unit and reset it if necessary. Consult
the protection circuitry section of this manual for more detailed trouble-
shooting procedures.
Q. When I turn the amplifier on there is a loud hum through the speakers.
There wasnever a hum before the KSA was in the system. What should I do?
A. Often when a new component is introduced into an audio system a hum
may become present. This is often caused by a ground loop in the system or
by defective cabling. Check your cables to and from the amplifier. If the hum
persists, contact your dealer or the KRELL staff for assistance.
Q. Can I use special audio power cords on the KSA?
A. You can experiment with special power cords as long as they are grounded
on both ends, meet the amplifier’s 20 amp power requirement, and are safety
approved by organizations like CSA or UL. The use of them, however, is not
recommended without first consulting your dealer or the KRELL factory.
Q. My speakers only have one set of binding posts. Which set of binding posts
should I use on the amplifier?
A. The two binding posts for each channel on the KSA are the same point
electrically. You can use either the top set of posts or the bottom set. They
sound and work the same.
