Krell Industries MASTER REFERENCE SUBWOOFER manual Connections and Configurations

Connections and Configurations

The remote control is the main input device for the Master Reference Subwoofer. All initial setup and subsequent system configuration adjustments must be made through the remote control or via the RS-232 port.

For maximum performance, the Master Reference Subwoofer must be connected to other components in the system via the appropriate CAST, balanced, or single- ended inputs and outputs; connected for stereo and low frequency effect; and the low-pass and high-pass filters configured to fit your system.

Step I. Choose the Connections

This section discusses the CAST, balanced, and single-ended connections that are available on the Master Reference Subwoofer, explains switching between CAST and balanced inputs, and lists factory defaults.

CAST and Balanced Connections

Krell recommends using its proprietary Krell CAST system for unparalleled sonic performance for connections between the Master Reference Subwoofer and other CAST-equipped components. The Master Reference Subwoofer also offers balanced and single-ended operation.

IMPORTANT

Connecting non-CAST components to CAST inputs or outputs can damage your equipment and void your warranty.

Do not attempt to change CAST cable terminations or CAST inputs or outputs to RCA or XLR connectors. It is electrically impossible to convert CAST input or output connections for balanced or single-ended voltage operation.

Please read the Warranty, on pages 50-51, to understand the warranty limitations of the Master Reference Subwoofer.
