BASIC INSTALLATION

AMPLIFIER FEET

The feet on the KSAcan be used in several different ways. They are made from machined Delrin and are supplied with separate threaded rubber bottoms. The rubber bottoms can be screwed into the feet for protection of fragile

surfaces such as hardwood floors or furniture. For use on rugs, we recommend using the feet without the rubber bottoms. KSA feet can also

accept the KRELLAMDs(Acoustic Mass Damper). The AMDis a type spiked foot that threads into the bottom of the foot. These improve the

amplifier's sonic performance in most installations and are particularly effective on carpeted floors. Please contact your dealer or KRELLwith any questions.

REMOTE, MASTER/SLAVE CONNECTIONS - LINKING MULTIPLE AMPLIFIERS

There are two Remote connectors on the back of the KSAlabeled Master and Slave provided for linking multiple amplifiers together. When the Master/ Slave cables are connected to each of the amplifiers involved, their meter

function controls and On/Off capabilities will be linked and controlled from one amplifier.

Select the amplifier that you want to receive operation commands. That amplifier will be the Master. Follow the instructions below for connecting the

amplifiers. Consider the Master receptacle the output and the Slave recep- tacle the input.

1.Turn all of the amplifiers Offand unplug them from the ACwall receptacle.

Plug the amplifiers back in but do not turn them on before starting. This

ensures all amplifiers are synchronized when the cabling is connected. Connect one end of the linking cable to the Master output on the back panel.

2.Connect the other end of the linking cable to the Slave Input on the second amplifier.

3.To synchronize three amplifiers, connect a second linking cable to the

Master output on the second amplifier. Connect the remaining end to the Slave input on the third amplifier.
