Definition of Terms

 

Following are the definitions of key terms used in your owner’s refer-

 

ence 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 single-ended con-

 

nections and allow the use of long interconnect cables. Balanced

 

connections are immune to induced noise from the system or the

 

environment.

 

Single-ended

 

A two-wire input or output circuit. Use care when using single-ended

 

connections as the ground connection is made last and broken first.

 

Turn the system off prior to making or breaking single-ended con-

 

nections. Single-ended connections are not recommended for con-

 

nections requiring long cable runs.

OPERATION

Off

 

When the power switch on the back panel is placed in the down

 

position and LEDs turn off, the component is off.

 

Stand-by Mode

 

When the S–1000 is connected to AC power and the back panel

 

power switch is on, the power/stand-by LED (2) illuminates in red.

 

This indicates that the component is in stand-by mode, a low power

 

consumption status that keeps the audio and regulator circuits at

 

idle. Krell recommends leaving the component in the stand-by mode

 

when it is not playing music.

 

Operational Mode

 

When the component is in the stand-by mode, and you press the

 

power button/pre key (1) the power/stand-by LED illuminates in

 

blue. The component is in the operational mode and is ready to play

 

music.
