Connectingthe KAV-1500Amplifier to Your System
INPUT AND OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
Followthesestepsto connectthe KAV-1500amplifier to yoursystem.
1.Makesure all powersourcesandcomponentsare off beforeconnectinginputs and outputs=
2.Neatlyorganizethe wiring betweenthe amplifier andall systemcomponents. SeparateACwires fromaudiocablesto preventhumor other unwantednoise from beingintroducedinto the system,
3.Connectthe interconnectcablesfromyouroutputdeviceto the amplifier inputs. The KAV-1500is equippedwith balanced(3, 4, 5, 6, 7) or single-ended(8, 9, 10, 11, inputs locatedon the backpanel. Thebalancedinputs usethree-pin XLR connectors;the single-endedinputs useRCAconnectors.
or
Usethe multi-channel(DB-25)connectorto simplify the integration of the KAV-1500 into yoursystem.
Connectthe DB-25output on your preamp/processorto the DB-25input (13) located on the backpanelof the KAV-1500The.DB-25cable simultaneously transmitsaudiooutputsandTrigger 1 signals fromthe Krell HomeTheaterStandard SurroundPreamp/processor(HTS)DB-25output to all inputs anda 5 VDC(5 Volt trigger) on the KAV-1500via the DB-25input.
Note
Youneedto configureTrigger 1 on the HTSbefore operation.
IMPORTANT
Donot connectthe multi-channelinput andsingle-endedor balancedinputs at the sametime.
4.Connectthe loudspeakercablesto the KAV-1500amplifier channeloutput speaker bindingposts(14, 15, 16, 17, 18)locatedon the backpanel.
Theamplifier channeloutputsfor the KAV-1500usefive-way loudspeakerbinding posts. Theloudspeakerbindingpost terminals acceptspadelugs, barewire, banana plugs,or pins. Usethe redterminalfor the positive connectionandthe black terminalfor the negativeconnection.
5.Plugthe endof the ACpowercord into the ACoutlet.
