WARNINGS

The Krell Playback System

located where it could be exposed to drip-

ping or splashing fluids.

Before you install the KPS 25s into your
system, review the following guidelines to

choose the location for the KPS 25s. This
will facilitate a clean, trouble-free installation.

The KPS 25s does not require a special rack

or cabinet for installation. Forthe dimensions

of the KPS 25s see Specifications on page

20.

1. Place the KPS 25s on a firm level sur­face, away from excessive heat, humi-

dity or moisture.

2. The KPS 25s incorporates an advan­ced suspension system and does not

require additional mass coupling or iso­lation. You may experiment with feet

or cones as long as they are not perma-

nently affixed to the chassis. Any unau-

thorized modifications to the electronics

or chassis will void the warranty.

IMPORTANT: Please do not attach

accessories may cause problems with the

transport mechanism, resulting in erratic

playback and/or poor sound.

AC Power Guidelines

WARNING

Do not remove or bypass the ground pin on
the end of the AC cord. This may cause RFI
(radio frequency interference) to be induced

into your playback system.
The KPS 25s has superb regulation and

does not require a dedicated AC circuit.
Avoid connections through extension cords

or multiple AC adapters. High quality 15 amp
grounded AC stdps are acceptable. High

quality AC line conditioners or filters can be

used if they are grounded and meet or

exceed the unit’s power supply rating of 100

VA.

Installing the Acrylic

Cover

Install the Acrylic Cover onto the top of the

KPS 25s, before connecting the KPS 25s to
