Four inches clearance should be allowed above the top of either the KBLor KPA. Only a small amount of clearance is needed on the sides. Four to six inches clearance should be allowed at the rear of either unit to provide for cables.
3.The units can be stacked. KPA(s) should be placed on the bottom with KBL(s)on top.
KPA(s) are sensitive to induced hum from motors or power
supplies. In general, they should be located at least one foot from other components (with the exception of the KBL). In particular, power supplies, tape recorders, and turntables should be more than a foot away from the KPA(s).
b.Preamplifier Installation
Place the preamplifier(s) in position. Checkthat all cable lengths are adequate at this point.
c.Power Supply Location Guidelines
1.The KBLsupply measures 9.75" wide, 12" deep, 2.25" high The KPAsupply measures 7.25" wide, 7.75" deep, 2.5" high (Only KPAnot powered from a KBLhave a separated supply)
2. Six foot ACand DCcables are provided with the supply(s).
Plan the respective position of the supply(s) and preamplifier(s)
within these distances. Allow at least excess, so neither cable is pulled tight.
a small amount of cable to be Contact the factory if the DC
cable is too short. Any attempt to extend it jeopardizes the power supply and the preamp, and will void the unit's warranty.
3.Although well shielded, the power supply(s) should not be placed
close to
4.Allow ample air space around the supply(s) for heat dissipation. Five inches on top and two inches on each side is adequate. Two supplies should not be placed directly on top of each other. They should be placed
5.The KBLor KPAsupplies do not require that an ACVcircuit be dedicated for their use. They should be connected to a 15 or 20 amp circuit that is dedicated for the source components and the
preamplifiers. Do not connect them to the mains with
