(SECTION THREE: Quick Start)

(Connecting the Evolution Two To Your System continued)

6.On each preamplifier channel, connect the supplied AC power cord to the IEC power cord receptacle (48).

7.On each preamplifier channel, plug the AC power cord into AC power. The front panel display (15) scrolls through EVOLUTION 2 SOFTWARE VERSION, and the red stand-by LEDs illuminate (4), indicating that the Evolution Two preamplifier is in stand-by mode. The scrolling stops when the Evolution Two is ready to be powered on.

Note

Use only the power cord provided with the preamplifier channel to make the connec- tion 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 chan- nel to perform optimally.

Operating the Evolution Two (Linked Mode)

After the Evolution Two is connected to your system and to AC power, and the front panel display (15) has stopped scrolling, begin operation:

1.Press the power button on either preamplifier chassis front panel or the pwr key (3) on the remote control. The blue backlights illuminate, the red stand-by LEDs (4) turn off, and the front panel displays read INITIALIZING. The front panel displays show the factory default input: S-1, and level: -INF. The Evolution Two is now in the operational mode.

2.With the Evolution Two preamplifier output muted or the volume fully attenuat- ed, select a source manually using the front panel input select buttons or the input select keys on the remote control (8, 9, 10, 11). Start playing the source. Use the level control knob or level keys (16) to set the volume to a comfortable listening level.

3.To return the Evolution Two preamplifier to the stand-by mode, press the power button or pwr key.

Krell recommends leaving the Evolution Two in the stand-by mode when it is not playing music.
