Krell Industries S-1000 manual Definition of Terms, Input and Output, Connections, Operation

Definition of Terms

	Following are the definitions of key terms used in your owner’s refer-
	ence manual:
INPUT AND OUTPUT	Balanced
CONNECTIONS	A symmetrical input or output circuit that has equal impedance from
	both input terminals to a common ground reference point. The
	industry standard for professional and sound recording installations,
	balanced connections have 6 dB more gain than single-ended con-
	nections and allow the use of long interconnect cables. Balanced
	connections are immune to induced noise from the system or the
	environment.
	Single-ended
	A two-wire input or output circuit. Use care when using single-ended
	connections as the ground connection is made last and broken first.
	Turn the system off prior to making or breaking single-ended con-
	nections. Single-ended connections are not recommended for con-
	nections requiring long cable runs.
OPERATION	Off
	When the power switch on the back panel is placed in the down
	position and LEDs turn off, the component is off.
	Stand-by Mode
	When the S–1000 is connected to AC power and the back panel
	power switch is on, the power/stand-by LED (2) illuminates in red.
	This indicates that the component is in stand-by mode, a low power
	consumption status that keeps the audio and regulator circuits at
	idle. Krell recommends leaving the component in the stand-by mode
	when it is not playing music.
	Operational Mode
	When the component is in the stand-by mode, and you press the
	power button/pre key (1) the power/stand-by LED illuminates in
	blue. The component is in the operational mode and is ready to play
	music.
