KPS-20i AND KPS-20i/1 DETAILS

DIGITAL SOURCE TO KPS-20i INTERLINK CONSIDERATIONS

Care should be taken in selecting the type of cable used to link a digital component to the KPS-20i or KPS-20i/I.Although the KPS-20 series will accept all industry standard formats, we suggest using the ST wide bandwidth format. Refer to the KPS-20i Typical System Setup on page 24.

DIGITAL INPUT CONNECTIONS

The KPS-20i and KPS-20i/Icome standard with most current digital input

formats: ST fiber optic, AES/EBUbalanced, EIAJ fiber optic, and two SPDIF coaxial inputs.

Connect the sources' digital output(s) to one of the digital inputs on the

KPS-20i or KPS-20i/I.When the corresponding input of the desired digital

source (must be ON) is selected, the appropriate input indicator LED will illuminate. The Sync LEDwill then illuminate, indicating the digital source and internal processor have linked. The Processor automatically selects the correct input frequency for the source.

DIGITAL OUTPUTS

The KPS-20i comes standard with one coaxial digital output. Signal from the input selected on the front panel or remote is routed to this output for sending to a digital recording device or external D/A processor.

An optional Digital Output Module is available to provide additional outputs in ST optical and EIAJ optical formats. Also included is a second ST output that

can be internally switched between the normal digital output and Krell's

proprietary Time Sync system. Please refer to pages 16 through 18 for more information about the connection of digital outputs and Time Sync.
