UnpackingPlacement
Two people are needed to remove the Full Power Balanced amplifier from its shipping box safely and easily.
1.Open the shipping box and remove the top layer of foam. You see these items:
1Full Power Balanced Amplifier
1Packet containing the owner’s reference manual and the warranty registration card
2.Orient the shipping box so that one person stands at the front of the amplifier and one person stands at the rear of the amplifier. Both people need to grab a pair of the card- board handle cutouts (one pair located at the front of the amplifier and one pair located at the rear of the amplifier) and simultaneously lift the amplifier straight up, out of the carton.
3.Place the amplifier in a safe location and remove the protective plastic wrapping.
Notes
If any of the items mentioned above are not included in the shipping box, please contact your authorized Krell dealer, distributor, or Krell for assistance.
Save all packing materials. If you ship your Full Power Balanced amplifier in the future, repack the unit in its original packaging to prevent tran- sit damage. See Return Authorization Proce- dure, on page 21 for more information.
Before you install the Full Power Balanced amplifier into your system, please follow the guidelines in this section to choose its proper location. This will facilitate a clean,
The Full Power Balanced amplifier requires at least two inches (5 cm) of clearance on each side and at least eight inches (20 cm) of clear- ance above the component to provide ade- quate ventilation.
Although Sustained Plateau Bias III circuitry reduces the high heat dissipation and heat out- put of traditional Class A circuitry, Full Power Balanced amplifiers still can become hot under normal operation.
When the front and rear of a cabinet are open the air space between the chassis and shelf must be unobstructed. If you place the amplifi- er in a closed cabinet, you may need to modify shelf spacing or use small fans to increase ven- tilation. For the dimensions of your Full Power Balanced amplifier, see Specifications, on pages
Place the amplifier as close to the speakers as possible. Krell CAST technology permits you to use interconnect cables of any length, see Rev-
olutionary Krell CAST and CAST II Technol-
ogy on page 3; however, try to keep the cable length to a minimum.
All Full Power Balanced amplifiers drive the lowest impedances with ease. When imped- ance is added due to long speaker cable lengths, amplifier power is wasted in the cable. Long speaker cables reduce the maximum power that is delivered in the speakers.
