Krell Link ConnectionsandOperation

Krell Link in/out connectors on the KPS25sc back panel allow you to synchronize remote control operationfor systemsthat include multi- ple preamplifiers, amplifiers and associated components.Whenthe Krell Link in/out con- nectors are used, the remotecapabilities of the linked componentsare controlled from one component,called the control component.The linked componentsrespond to stand-by and operational modecommandsfrom the control componentvia MIDI cables.

Note

Krell Link uses standard five pin M/D/ commu- nication cables, sometimescalled MIDI Plus cables. MIDI cables can be purchased from your authorizeddistributor or dealer, or from an audio supply store.

CONNECTING COMPONENTS THROUGHKRELL LINK

1.Turn all componentsoff. This ensurescom- ponents are synchronized whenthe MIDI cables are connected.

2.Select the control componentIt. mustbe in plain view for proper remotecontrol opera- tion.

3.Connectone end of the MIDI cable to the Krell Link out connectoron the control com- ponent back panel.

4.Connectthe other end of the MIDI cable to the Krell Link in connector on the back panel of the next component.

5.To link another component,connect anoth- er MIDIcableto the Krell Link out connector on the back panel of the second compo- nent. Connect the remaining end of the MIDIcable to the Krell Link in connectoron the backpanel of a third component.

6.Link additional components,if desired.

The componentsare now ready for operation with Krell Link.

KRELL LINK OPERATION

1.Whenall components are connected, as described above, place each componentin the stand-by mode.This ensures all com- ponents are synchronized when signals from the control componentare sent to linked components.

2.Switch the control componentto the opera- tional modefrom the component's front panel power button or through the power key on the remotecontrol. Thelinked com- ponentssimultaneously switch to the oper- ational mode.

An individual linked componentcan be switched between the stand-by and operational modes from its front panel. Switchinga linked compo- nent temporarily breaks the chain of linked components.To re-establish linked operation, return all componentsto the stand-by mode.
