INPUT AND OUTPUT

CONNECTIONS

Krell recommendsusing its proprietary Krell CASTsystem for unparalleled sonic perfor- mancebetween the KPS25sc and other CAST- equipped componentssuch as the Full Power Balanced amplifiers or the Master Reference Amplifiers.

TheKPS25sc also offers balanced operation. Thecircuitry and connections associated with balancedoperation not only can minimizesonic loss but also are immuneto induced noise, especially for installations usinglong cables.

Follow these steps to connect the KPS25sc to your system.

IMPORTANT

Connecting non-CAST components to CAST inputs or outputs can damageyour equipment andvoid your warranty.

Do not attempt to changeCASTcable termina- tions or CASTinputs or outputs to RCAor XLR connectors.It is electrically impossibleto con- vert CASTinput or output connectionsfor bal- ancedor single-endedvoltage operation.

Pleaseread the Warranty,on page32. to under- standthe warrantylimitations of the KPS25sc.

Makesure all power sources and compo- nents are off before connectinginputs and outputs.

Neatly organize wiring betweenthe KPS25sc and the preamplifier and amplifier, and betweenall other components.Separate AC wires from audio cables to prevent humand other unwantednoises from being introduced into the system.

Connectthe Krell CASTcables from the left and right Krell CAST4-pin outputs (42) the KPS25sc back panel to your CAST- enabledpreamplifier or amplifier.

For balanced or single-ended operation, connectthe interconnect cables from either the left andright fixed balanced(38), vari- able balanced(39), fixed single-ended(40), or variable single-ended(41) outputs on the KPS25sc back panel to the balanced or single-endedinputs on your preamplifier or amplifier. (The remaining outputs can be connectedto anotherpreamplifier or ampli- fier in a different system).

IMPORTANT

Usevariable output terminals whenthe KPS25sc is connecteddirectly to a Krell stereopowerampli- fier or to a pair of Krell monauralpoweramplifiers that do not havegain control Usingfixed outputs can damagepoweramplifiers and loudspeakers.

4.Connectthe cables from your source equip- mentto the appropriate balanced(31), tape

(32)or single-ended (34, 35, 36) analog =nputs on the KPS25sc back panel.

5.Connectthe cables from your digital audio or video sourceto the optics input (46) coaxial digital input (47) on the KPS25sc backpanel.

6.Connectthe cables from your optics output

(43)or coaxial digital output (44) on KPS25sc back panel to send signals to a digital recordingdevice,externaldigital/ana- log processor,or videosource.
