Krell Industries SBP-32X manual sor. Is the processor malfunctioning?

Q. I am not getting any sound through the processor.

A. Most likely there has been a simple mistake in instal- lation. Check all connections IN ana OUTfrom the

t~erOCessor. Checkall power connections. Have you se- cted the correc,t source on your preamp?Checkthe front panel LEDs forpower supply stability. If you still

have no sound, turn off the power and contact your dealer.

Q. I have somevery fine audiophile interconnect cable which has superior sonic characteristics. Can I use this for mycoaxial digital input?

A. You may experiment with any high quality cable. Do

note, however, that most audio interconnect cable is not designed to carry the ultra high frequency information of the digital bit stream.

NOTE:For the SBP-32X, we recommend non-capacitive coaxial cable which has a bandwidth in excess of 10MHz and excellent shielding properties.

Q. While listening to my SBP-32XI experience occa- sional periods of silence through myspeakers. Is my processor malfunctioning?

N. Drop-outs can be caused by two primary reasons, both

of which have to do with the corruption of data received by the processor. This corruption in the data maybe due to a poor input connection, damagedor dirty source

material, or interconnects which/lo not have a wide enough bandwidth. The second item that causes the processor to reset is the presence of a transient spike on

the incoming ACpowerline. The processor is resetting all of its digital processingcircuits so that it can be as-

sured that all its circuits are properly synchronized. Try changing your source material and check your connec- tions. Iftlaese are not the cause, speak with your dealer

about obtaining different cabling. If you are using fibre optics, and source material and connections are not the problem, speak with your authorized dealer.

. Since I installed the processor in mysystem I have a ow level humthat increases as I turn up the volume. There was no humin mysystem until I added the proces-

sor. Is the processor malfunctioning?

A. The fact that there was no humin your system until you added the processor indicates that you have a ground-loop problem. Often changing the interconnect to a fibre optic.cable will eliminate this problem. The way the digital processor and digital source are connected to the ACmains often can be me cause of grounding prob- lems. Consult your dealer or Krell if this humpersists.
