Krell KA V–280p 15 Krell recommends using balanced interconnect cables. Balanced interconnect cables not only can minimize sonic loss but are also immune to induced noise, especially with installations using long cables. Balanced connections have 6 dB more gain than single- ended connections. When level matching is critical, keep this gain value [...]

18 Krell KA V–280p The KA V–280cd has a discrete tape input and output. The tape output is used to send an input signal from S-1, S-2, S-3, or B-1 to a recording device or processor . Y ou can use the tape feature in three ways: 1. Use this button to playback pre-recorded tapes. 2. Use the tape input to compare the output signal of a three- hea[...]

Krell KA V–280p 19 To simplify the integration of an audio/video surround sound processor into your system, set any input on the KA V–280p (S-1, S-2, S-3, or B-1) to operate as a unity gain stage. Krell calls this configuration Theater Throughput. When you configure a KA V–280p input for Theater Throughput, the KA V–280p volume and balance [...]

20 Krell KA V–280p AC grounding becomes critical when connecting high performance audio components. When you mix and match audio components, each with its own ground potential, a low frequency hum may occur in one or both loudspeakers. This sometimes occurs when introducing a new component into a system. If a low frequency hum emanates from the l[...]
