Connecting the SACD Standard

to Your System

USING BALANCED

Krell recommends using balanced interconnect cables. Balanced

CONNECTIONS

interconnect cables not only can minimize sonic loss but are also

 

immune to induced noise, especially with installations using long

 

cables. Balanced connections have 6 dB more gain than single-

 

ended connections. When level matching is critical, keep this gain

 

value in mind.

Follow these steps to connect the SACD Standard to your system.

1.Make sure all power sources and components are off before connecting inputs and outputs.

2.Neatly organize the wiring between the SACD Standard and all system components. Separate AC wires from audio cables to prevent hum or other unwanted noises from being introduced into the system.

3.Remember that balanced outputs use three-pin XLR connectors. Single-ended outputs use RCA connectors. Maintain the correct left/right orientation of these outputs.

4.To play an SACD, you need to use analog audio outputs. Digital audio outputs are only available for conventional compact discs.

For multi-channel (MULTI) SACD, two-channel (SACD), and conven- tional compact disc playback, connect the SACD Standard multi- channel analog audio outputs to the surround preamp/processor multi-channel inputs. All multi-channel analog audio outputs are available in the MULTI format. The center (C), subwoofer (SW) and surround (SL, SR) multi-channel outputs are not available in the CD or SACD formats. The left (L) and right (R) multi-channel outputs are always active.

5.For two-channel and conventional compact disc playback only, connect the SACD Standard balanced analog audio outputs or the left (L) and right (R) multi-channel outputs to the preamplifier balanced or single-ended analog audio inputs.
