Definition of Terms
| Following are the definitions of key terms used in your owner’s ref- |
| erence manual. |
INPUT AND OUTPUT | Balanced |
CONNECTIONS | A symmetrical input or output circuit that has equal impedance from |
| both input terminals to a common ground reference point. The |
| industry standard for professional and sound recording installations, |
| balanced connections have 6 dB more gain than |
| nections and allow the use of long interconnect cables. Balanced |
| connections are less susceptible than |
| induced noise from the system or the environment. |

|
| A |
| ended connections as the ground connection is made last and bro- |
| ken first. Turn the system off prior to making or breaking single- |
| ended connections. |
| ed for connections requiring long cable runs. |
OPERATION | Off |
| When the AC power cord is not plugged into the wall, the red |
| |
|
|
| When the AC power cord is plugged into the wall, the red |
| LED illuminates, indicating that the component is in the |
| mode. This low power consumption status keeps the audio and cir- |
| cuits at idle. Krell recommends leaving the component in the stand- |
| by mode when it is not playing music. |
| Operational Mode |
| From the |
| is pressed and the blue power LED illuminates, the component is in |
| the operational mode and ready to play music. |
TECHNOLOGY | Krell Current Mode |
| A proprietary Krell circuit topology in which the audio gain stages of |
| a component operate in the current rather than the voltage domain. |
| This unique technology provides the component with exceptional |
| speed and a wide bandwidth. |
