6 Krell recommends using balanced interconnect cables. Balanced interconnect cables not only can minimize sonic loss but also are immune to induced noise, especially for installations using long cables. Balanced connections have 6 dB more gain than single-ended connections. When level matching is critical, keep this specification in

Dock is a 150 W amplifier specifically designed by Krell for use with the KID.

Maintain the correct left/right orientation: balanced outputs use three-pin XLR connectors. Single- ended outputs use RCA connectors.

1. Connect the balanced (12) or single-ended (11)

analog audio outputs to the corresponding

THE KID / PAPA DOCK CONNECTION

5 To connect the KID to the Papa Dock:

1.Remove the connector plate from the bottom of the KID, using the T-10 Torx wrench provided in the Papa Dock accessory box.

2.Place the KID and the Papa Dock side-by- side, with the front panel facing toward you.

3.Lift the KID up and position it over the con- nection well (6) in the Papa Dock.

4.Lower the KID gently but firmly onto the Papa Dock docking connector (7).

FIGURE 2 Connecting the KID to the Papa Dock

To disconnect the KID from the Papa Dock:

1.Facing the front of the two components, insert your fingers in the plunger holes on the bottom panel of the Papa Dock.

2.Push up both plungers (8) simultaneously. The plungers elevate the KID, disconnecting it from the Papa Dock.

3.Lift the KID out of the connection well on the Papa Dock, and set the KID aside.

mind. Krell recommends using balanced inputs for components that use the preamplifier mode.

1.Make sure all power sources and components are off before connecting inputs and outputs.

2.Neatly arrange and organize wiring between the KID, the Papa Dock, and all system compo- nents. Separate AC wires from audio cables to prevent hum or other unwanted noise from being introduced into the system.

Connect the KID to Your System

The KID connects to a preamplifier, processor, or amplifier as an A/V source, and is equipped with a balanced and single-ended analog audio output, an S-Video, and a composite video output. The Papa

AC Power Guidelines for the KID. Use only the

power cord provided with the KID. The use of the

KID with devices designed to alter or stabilize the

AC power may impair the ability of the interface

1412 VDC Out

Sends a 12 V power on/off signal via a 12 V trigger cable to other Krell components and to other devices that incorporate 12 V power on/off trigger input.

When the KID is in the operational mode and a trig- ger is enabled, the 12 VDC Out provides 12 V of DC output. When the KID is in the stand-by mode or off, or if a trigger is not enabled, the DC output is 0 V.
