Note: Components that are not being listened to should be turned off or

have their volume turned down. For instance, a tuner should be turned off or have its volumelowered while it is not being listened to.

Use the ~ switch to choose between the output of the ~ switch or the playblack from a tape deck for monitoring. This can be done when a recording is being made, such as with a three-head tape deck, or during playback only.

Use the Gain toggle switch to adjust the overall gain of the line section to compensatefor different system efficiencies.

The amountof gain for the two settings of the Gain switch are as follows:

HI: 12 dB

LOW: 6 dB

Use the Phase toggle switch to reverse the absolute phase of the Main Outputs. The switch is functional for both the single-ended and balanced outputs.

Manyrecordings have had their overall phase reversed during the various processing stages. When the absolute phase and phase relationship between channels is correct, there are improved transients and dynamic detail.

5. Balance

Use the Balance control to adjust the level between the two channels if necessary. The Balance control is really a balance attenuator. Whenthe

control is turned clockwise, the left channel is reduced in level in four single decibel steps; a fifth position, Off, fully clockwise, turns the left channel off.

6. Volume CQntrol

Use the Volumecontrol to adjust the listening level. It should always be fully counterclockwise when the system is not in use or when changing records or sources.

KSP7B specifications

Krell Industries is renowned for its high-performance audio equipment, and the KSP7B is a prime example of their commitment to exceptional sound quality. The KSP7B is a stereo power amplifier that embodies Krell's long-standing tradition of creating products that deliver superior audio, making it a popular choice among audiophiles.

One of the main features of the KSP7B is its robust power output. With a power rating of 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 400 watts per channel into 4 ohms, the KSP7B is capable of driving a wide range of speakers with ease. This power enables the amplifier to produce dynamic sound without distortion, even at higher volumes. The design incorporates a heavy-duty power supply that ensures stability and reliability, allowing for optimal performance across different audio frequencies.

The KSP7B utilizes Krell's proprietary technologies. One such technology is the unique Class A biasing, which allows the amplifier to operate in Class A mode at lower powers, enhancing sound quality by reducing crossover distortion. This feature allows for incredibly detailed and nuanced sound reproduction, ensuring that every note and nuance is preserved. Additionally, the amplifier features an advanced cooling system that maintains optimal operating temperature, which is essential for consistent performance and longevity.

Another standout characteristic of the KSP7B is its dual-mono design. This design approach allows for more precise channel separation, thereby reducing crosstalk and improving imaging. As a result, listeners can experience a more immersive soundstage with distinct, clear separation between instruments and vocals. This characteristic makes the KSP7B an excellent choice for critical listening environments.

The build quality of the KSP7B is exceptional. It features a solid aluminum chassis that provides both aesthetic appeal and durability. The front panel is elegantly designed with minimal controls, emphasizing its high-end nature. The rear panel includes multiple input options, including RCA and balanced connections, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of audio sources.

In summary, the Krell Industries KSP7B stereo power amplifier combines high power output, innovative technologies, and impressive build quality. It caters to the needs of serious audiophiles who seek unmatched performance. Whether you're listening to a favorite album or enjoying a cinematic experience, the KSP7B is designed to deliver sound that is both powerful and precise, making it a definitive choice in the realm of high-fidelity audio.
