SECTION THREE

Quick Start

To access the full array of available functions for the Evolution 222, please read this entire owner’s reference manual. The abbreviated routine in this Quick Start section will allow you to connect and operate the Evolution 222 quickly and enjoy its basic functions.

The front and rear panels are shown in the diagrams on pages 15 and 22. Each button or feature is labeled with a callout number, and these numbers are shown in parentheses in the sections below. (In the following instructions, the word “but- ton” refers to a front panel operation, and “key” refers to a remote control opera- tion.)

Connecting the Evolution 222 to Your System

Position the preamplifier where you intend to use it in your system. Do not move the chassis after it is connected.

1.Neatly arrange and organize wiring to and from the preamplifier and all com- ponents. Separate the AC wires from any audio cables to prevent hum or other unwanted noise from being introduced into the system.

2.Connect the outputs of your source equipment to the appropriate CAST (18), balanced (15), single-ended (16), or tape inputs (17) on the Evolution 222.

3.Connect the main outputs (20) on the Evolution 222 to your amplifier’s inputs.

4.Connect the supplied AC power cord to the IEC power cord receptacle (26) of the preamplifier.

5.Plug the other end of the AC power cord into AC power. The display (3) scrolls through EVOLUTION 222 SOFTWARE VERSION, and the stand-by/power LED (7) illumi- nates red, indicating that the Evolution 222 is in stand-by mode. When the scrolling stops, the Evolution 222 is ready to be powered on.

Note

Use only the power cord provided with the preamplifier to make the connection to AC power. Operation with a power cord other than the one supplied by Krell could induce noise, limit current, or otherwise impair the ability of the preamplifier to perform optimally.
