Introduction

Thank you for your purchase of a Krell Showcase Amplifier.

The Showcase Amplifier is a flexible design that delivers five, six, or seven channels of amplification. All three configurations include input and output connections for all seven channels. The amplifiers differ only by how many channels are housed within the amplifier.

A Showcase 5 includes five amplifier channels, a Showcase 6 includes six amplifier channels, and a Showcase 7 includes seven amplifier channels. The Showcase 5 and Showcase 6 may be upgraded with additional channels, up to seven. The Showcase Amplifier has balanced and single-ended inputs for compatibility with other components. The amplifiers can be operated using the 12 VDC power on/off (12 V trigger) signals from other components. The Showcase Amplifier is versatile, fitting a variety of installations including rack-mounted and inside cabinetry.

Please contact your Krell-authorized dealer or distributor for infor- mation on upgrading your amplifier to six or seven channels.
