Reconfiguration Options for the KAV–2250 and KAV–3250

There are a number of options for reconfiguring the amplifier output:

Multi Amp Throughput (MAT)is an internal connection option for the amplifier that lets

you send the same music signal to all amplifier channels using one balanced or single- ended connection. MAT reduces installation complexity and cabling requirements in systems containing multiple amplifiers.

Bridging

allows you to reconfigure two channels to operate as one combined amplifier

 

 

channel. The bridged amplifier channels deliver 1,000 Watts into an 8 Ohm load. The

 

 

remaining unbridged amplifier channel on the KAV–3250 can be connected to a

 

 

separate loudspeaker.

 

 

To reconfigure the amplifier for MAT or for bridged operation you need to remove the

 

 

top cover of the amplifier and access the input switch banks.

 

 

IMPORTANT

 

 

 

 

Removing the cover of the amplifier to reconfigure for MAT or for bridged operation is

 

 

the ONLY

 

instance you are authorized to remove the cover of

ANY

Krell component

without voiding your Warranty. For more information on product limitations and

 

 

restrictions, see

Warranty, on page 24.
