AC Power Guidelines

Power Cord

Before you install the KAV–300iL into your system, review the fol- lowing guidelines to choose the location for the KAV–300iL. This will facilitate a clean, trouble-free installation. The KAV–300iL does not require any type of special rack or cabinet for installation. For the dimensions of the KAV–300iL, see Specifications, on the back cover.

Place the KAV–300iL on a firm, level surface, away from excessive heat, humidity, or moisture. The KAV–300iL requires at least two inches (5 cm) of clearance on each side and at least two inches (5 cm) of clearance above and below the component to provide adequate ventilation. Installations inside cabinetry may need extra ventilation.

The KAV–300iL is not hum-sensitive. Other components may be placed on or around the KAV–300iL (make sure ventilation grids remain unobstructed).

Place the amplifier as close to the loudspeakers as possible and keep loudspeaker cable lengths to a minimum. Loudspeaker cable adds impedance to the load the amplifier must drive, regardless of the cable’s gauge. All Krell amplifiers drive the lowest impedances with ease, but long loudspeaker cables reduce the maximum power that can be delivered to the loudspeakers.

The KAV–300iL has superb regulation and does not require a ded- icated AC circuit. Avoid connections through extension cords or multiple AC adapters. High quality 15 amp grounded AC strips are acceptable. High quality AC line conditioners or filters may be used if they are grounded and meet or exceed the unit’s maximum power consumption of 1800 Watts.

The KAV–300iL should be operated only with the power cord supplied. Please contact your authorized Krell dealer, distributor, or Krell before using any devices designed to alter or stabilize the AC power for the KAV–300iL.
