Connection Steps

Position the preamplifier where you intend to use it in your system.

The following steps describe how to connect an Evolution 222 preamplifier to your system:

1.Neatly arrange and organize wiring to and from the Evolution 222 preamplifier and all components. Separate AC wires from audio cables to prevent hum or other unwanted noise from being introduced into the system.

2.Connect the outputs of your source equipment to the appropriate CAST (18), balanced (15), single-ended (16), or tape inputs (17) on the Evolution 222.

3.Connect the appropriate main outputs (20) on the Evolution 222 to your ampli- fier.

4.Connect the supplied AC power cord to the IEC power cord receptacle (26).

5.Plug the AC power cord into AC power. The front panel display (3) scrolls through EVOLUTION 2 SOFTWARE VERSION, and the red stand-by LED illuminates (7), indicating that the Evolution 222 preamplifier is in stand-by mode. The scrolling stops when the Evolution 222 is ready to be powered on.

Note

Use only the power cord provided with the preamplifier to make the connection to AC power. Operation with a power cord other than the one supplied by Krell could induce noise, limit current, or otherwise impair the ability of the preamplifier to perform opti- mally.
