Placement

Before you install an Evolution 505 into your system, please follow the guidelines in this section to select a location for your component. This will facilitate a clean, trouble-free installation.

The Evolution 505 does not require a special rack or cabinet for installation. The preamplifier chassis measures 17.3 in. (43.8 cm) wide, 6 in. (15.3 cm) high, and 17.3 in. (43.8 cm) deep.

Place the Evolution 505 on a firm, level surface, away from excessive heat, humid- ity or moisture. The Evolution 505 requires at least two inches (5 cm) of clearance on each side, and at least two inches (5 cm) of clearance above the component to provide adequate ventilation. Installation inside cabinetry may require additional ventilation.

Do not place the Evolution 505 near hum sensitive components such as preampli- fier phono stages or turntables. Although the Evolution 505 is well shielded, plac- ing it near these components could create interference and cause hum.

Note

The Evolution 505 incorporates an advanced suspension system and does not require addi- tional mass coupling or isolation. You may experiment with feet or cones as long as they are not permanently affixed to the unit. Any unauthorized modifications to the unit or elec- tronics will void the warranty.

IMPORTANT

Do not attach enhancement accessories such as rings, mats, or dampers to individ- ual discs. These accessories may interfere with the disc transport, resulting in erratic playback and/or poor sound.

AC Power Guidelines

The Evolution 505 has superb regulation and does not require a dedicated AC cir- cuit. Avoid connections through extension cords or multiple AC adapters. High quality 15 amp AC strips are acceptable. The use of AC line conditioning devices or filters may be used if they are grounded and meet or exceed the unit’s power supply rating of 100 VA.

IMPORTANT

When the internal line fuse needs to be replaced, contact your dealer, distributor or Krell. The line fuse is not intended to be replaced by the user.
