Introduction

Thank you for your purchase of the Krell KAV–300iL Remote Control Integrated Amplifier. This fully integrated amplifier and pre- amplifier has a fully balanced signal path from input to output and employs a wide bandwidth design with low negative feedback for sonic accuracy throughout the frequency spectrum. All circuits up to the driver stage are pure Class A.

Krell’s new surface mount technology (SMT) means that the KAV–300iL is an integrated amplifier with big power—200 Watts per channel—that does not require big space. SMT allows individ- ual circuit elements to be placed very close together. This shortens signal paths and allows circuit elements to operate at the same temperature, resulting in more accurate signal transfer and enhanced reliablilty.

The KAV–300iL is easy to operate and integrate into your system. The remote control accesses all amplifier functions, and remote control connection options allow the KAV–300iL to be easily con- nected with other components. The Theater Throughput feature provides easy integration of the amplifier into a home theater system.

This owner’s reference manual contains important information on the placement, installation, and operation of the KAV–300iL. Please read this information carefully. A thorough understanding of these details will help ensure satisfactory operation and long life for your KAV–300iL and related system components.
