C.BASIC INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
1.Place the KST-100on a firm level surface awayfrom excessivedirt or moisture. Ideally the amplifier shouldbe placedas close to. the speakersas possible. It is always preferable to run long_ interconnectcables to the amplifier and keep speaker calSle length to.a minimum=Speal~er cable does add an impedanceat the output ot the ampli- fier, regardless of the cable's g.uage. AIIKRELLamplifi-
ers wilI drive the lowest impeclanc,es with ease. When impedanceis added,the amplifier s poweris literally wasted in driving cable. Longspeaker cables reduce the maximumpowerthat can be delivered to the speakers.
2.Amplifiers dissipate muchof the powerthey consume in heat. TheKST-1~00shouldbe installed in a location that providesunobstructedventilation. If youhavet.o install the unit on shelvesor in a cabinet, extra ventilation maybe necessary. This can be accomplishedwith "whis- per"-type fans. Consultyour dealer f-or assistance.
Generally, with the front and rear of a cabinet open, 2-3
inches of clearance on each side and 8 inches of clear- ance abovethe amplifier should provide adequate venti-
lation.
Theexact dimensionsfor the KST-100are in the Specifi- cations Section below.
3.The KST-100should have a dedicated line and should only be operated with the powercord supplied. Use of other powercords maydamagethe ampIifier or void its warranty. Please consult KRELLor your dealer BEFORE using a~nydevicesdesignedto alter or stabilize the AC pgwertor the KST-100.If you have any questions about placement or ACpowerconditions please consult
KRELL.
4.Thefeet on the KST-100can be used in several differ-
ent ways. They are madefrom machinedDelrin and are
supplied with separate threaded rubber bottoms. The rubber bottomscan be screwedinto the feet tor protec-
tion of fragile surfaces such as hardwoodfloors or furni- ture. For use on rugs, werecommendusing.the feet wi.th- out the rubber bottoms. KST-100feet can also accept tlae KRELLAMDs(Acoustic Mass Damper). These improve the amplifier's sonic performancein mostinstallations.
