BASIC INSTALLATION

LOCATION

Place the KSA on a firm level surface away from excessive dirt or moisture.
When using custom racks or cabinetry, keep in mind the weight and
ventilation requirements for these amplifiers. Ideally the amplifier should be

placed as close to the speakers as possible. It is preferable to run long

balanced interconnect cables to the amplifier and keep speaker cable length

to a minimum. Speaker cable adds impedance to the load the amplifier must

drive, regardless of the cable’s gauge. All KRELL amplifiers will drive the

lowest impedances with ease, but when impedance is added due to long

cable lengths, amplifier power is literally wasted in driving the cable. Long

speaker cables reduce the maximum power that can be delivered to the

speakers.

REMOTE TURN-ON INSTALLATION

Some installations do not have adequate space or arrangement flexibility for

the amplifier to be placed near the speakers. To allow for this, the KSA

¯ amplifiers can be turned On or Offfrom a room other than the listening room.

This type of amplifier placement is referred to as Remote Installation. The

KSA can be placed in a room or space close to the speakers, but out of sight,

and turned On and Off from the listening room. There is a provision

internally to allow the amplifier to be controlled from a wall AC receptacle

and not from the front panel power switch or remote control. We suggest a

standard wall switch be mounted in the listening room to control an AC

power outlet dedicated to the power amplifier. This can be accomplished by

an electrician. Please contact your dealer for assistance.

NOTE: When set-up for remote turn-on, the front panel power switch will not
operate, nor will the power switch on the remote control. The meter switches

on the front panel and remote are not affected and will operate normally.

NOTE: Remember to keep speaker cable lengths to a minimum.

PAGE 5

BASIC INSTALLATION

CABINETRY CONSIDERATIONS

High bias amplifiers dissipate much of the power they consume in heat.
Because the KSA- 100S/200S/300S utilize Sustained Plateau Biasing, they

remain cool when not in use. When the KSA is in use, it can become quite
hot. Therefore, the KSA should be installed in a location that provides
unobstructed ventilation. If you must install the unit on shelves or in a

cabinet, extra ventilation may be necessary. This often can be accomplished

with cabinet shelf spacing or unit location. In more extreme instances the
use of small fans can aid in removing excessive heat from internal spaces.

Consult your dealer for assistance.

Generally, with the front and rear of a cabinet open, 3-4 inches of clearance
on each side and 8 inches of vertical clearance, the amplifier should have

adequate ventilation.

The KSA amplifiers have very large power supplies. As a consequence the

amplifiers are quite heavy. When purchasing a rack or cabinet, keep weight

in mind. Most racks are not capable of withstanding the weight of these
units.

The exact weight and dimensions for the KSA-100S/200S/300S are in the

Specifications section of this manual.

AC POWER CONSIDERATIONS

The KSA should have a dedicated 20 amp line and should only be operated
with the power cord supplied. Use of other power cords may damage the

amplifier and void its warranty. Please consult KRELL or your dealer
BEFORE using any devices designed to alter or stabilize the AC power for the
KSA. AC line filters and/or stabilizers must meet or exceed the power

transformer size in the amplifier. As an example, the line conditioner will

require a supply reservoir greater than 2800 VA to condition a KSA-200S.
If you have any questions about placement or AC power conditions, please

consult KRELL.

PAGE 6

BASIC INSTALLATION

AMPLIFIER FEET

The feet on the KSA can be used in several different ways. They are made from
machined Delrin and are supplied with separate threaded rubber bottoms.

The rubber bottoms can be screwed into the feet for protection of fragile

surfaces such as hardwood floors or furniture. For use on rugs, we

recommend using the feet without the rubber bottoms. KSA feet can also
accept the KRELL AMDs (Acoustic Mass Damper). The AMD is a type

spiked foot that threads into the bottom of the foot. These improve the
amplifier’s sonic performance in most installations and are particularly

effective on carpeted floors. Please contact your dealer or KRELL with any
questions.

REMOTE, MASTER/SLAVE CONNECTIONS - LINKING MULTIPLE

AMPLIFIERS

There are two Remote connectors on the back of the KSA labeled Master and
Slave provided for linking multiple amplifiers together. When the Master/

Slave cables are connected to each of the amplifiers involved, their meter

function controls and On/Off capabilities will be linked and controlled from
one amplifier.

Select the amplifier that you want to receive operation commands. That
amplifier will be the Master. Follow the instructions below for connecting the

amplifiers. Consider the Master receptacle the output and the Slave recep­tacle the input.

1. Turn all of the amplifiers Offand unplug them from the AC wall receptacle.

Plug the amplifiers back in but do not turn them on before starting. This
ensures all amplifiers are synchronized when the cabling is connected.

Connect one end of the linking cable to the Master output on the back panel.

2. Connect the other end of the linking cable to the Slave Input on the second
amplifier.

3. To synchronize three amplifiers, connect a second linking cable to the
Master output on the second amplifier. Connect the remaining end to the

Slave input on the third amplifier.

PAGE 7

BASIC INSTALLATION

4. Connect additional amplifiers as described in step 3.

5. When the cables are all in place, point the remote control at the amplifier
designated as Master and press the Power button. The amplifiers will all turn

on at the same time.

The meter display for each amplifier may vary. Manually change the meter

display via the front panel until all of the meters match. The amplifier will

remember the meter setting when cycled On/Off via the remote control or
front panel switch. If the unit is unplugged the memory will not remain and

the meters may need to be resynchronized. When linked and synchronized
correctly, ON/OFF and meter functions will happen simultaneously only

when the remote control is used.

NOTE: Each individual amplifier canbe turned ON/OFF and have meter

functions changed via the front panel separately. If you change an individual

amplifier’s function, it needs to be manually changed back to follow the
functions of the other amplifiers so the synchronization remains intact.

NOTE: Contact your dealer or KRELL Industries to obtain remote cable
links.

CONNECTIONS

INPUT AND OUTPUT CONNECTIONS

CAUTION: When making connections to this component or any other, make
sure the power amplifier is OFF and the preamplifier is in the MUTE or

STAND-BY mode.

The wiring to and from the amplifier, and all components in, general, should

be arranged in a neat, organized manner. Specifically, AC wires should be
separated from audio wires. This practice avoids hum or other unwanted

noise from being induced into the system.

1. Connect the speaker cables to the amplifier’s output terminals.

The KSA utilizes two custom sets of parallel binding posts for the left and

right channels respectively. This configuration makes cable connections
and bi-wiring simple. The binding post will only accept a spade lug or ring

terminal of proper inner radius. Bare wire, banana lugs or pins will not work.
Each binding post is labeled either (+) or (-) between the sets of posts on
rear panel. The (+) sign between the binding posts indicates the positive

output terminal. This is commonly referred to as red or hot. The (-) sign
between the binding posts indicates the negative output terminal. This is

commonly referred to as black or ground.

CAUTION: Make sure all cable terminations are of the highest quality, free
from frayed ends, shorts or cold solder joints.

2. Connect the interconnect cables from your preamplifier to the input of the
KSA.

The KSA has balanced and single-ended inputs
pin XLR connectors and the single-ended inputs use standard RCA connec-

tors. We recommend use of balanced interconnects sonically, and electrically

because of their ability to reduce noise and not incur significant sonic loss

due to extreme cable lengths.

CAUTION: Use only one input to the amplifier at a time. The KSA is shipped

with shorting pins in the XLR inputs. These pins should remain in the XLR

inputs if you are operating the KSA in the single-ended mode. When the
shorting pin is inserted, pin 1 and pin 3 are shorted together. The shorting

pins must be removed to connect the KSA for balanced operation.

PAGE 9

’.

The balanced inputs use 3-

CONNECTIONS

The pin assignment for the XLR is:
pin 1 = shield (ground)

pin 2 = non-inverting input (hot)
pin 3 = inverting input

NOTE: The RCA center conductor for each channel is wired in parallel with

pin 2, the non-inverted input. Only one of these inputs should be connected
to a preamplifier. Do not attempt to use the single-ended and balanced

inputs simultaneously.

3. Insert the AC power cord into the receptacle located on the back of the
KSA. Insert the other end into the wall AC receptacle. (Refer to the Basic

Installation section, for AC power requirements)

4. The amplifier is now ready for operation. Should you have any questions
regarding system set-up, contact your dealer or KRELL Industries.

OPERATION

AMPLIFIER OPERATION

Understanding the ’operation of the amplifier is very easy. Equally important
is an understanding of the care that should be exercised when operating the

system as a whole, in relation to the enormous power output of the KSA.

Simple mistakes, such as switching between active sources without muting
the preamplifier output, or bumping/miscuing a cartridge, can generate

large transients at low frequencies. With this type of transient the KSA can
generate enough power to damage most loudspeakers. All switching of

sources should be done with the preamplifier level either muted or fully
attenuated. Inputs to the amplifier should not be changed while the

amplifier is on.

NOTE: Care must be taken when setting high playback levels. Because of

their tremendous reserve of clean power, KRELL amplifiers safely drive
speakers to higher sound pressure levels than other amplifiers. This also

means driving the speakers to their limit. Always turn the level down at the
first sign of distortion.

When turning the system off, turn the volume on the preamplifier all the way

down or put it into the MUTE or STAND-BY position. Turn the amplifier off.

This avoids the possibility of a turn-off transient from another component

getting to the speakers. Because of the tremendous output power in the KSA
amplifiers, the amplifier should not be turned on or off with music playing.

This can arc the speaker output relays and potentially damage the amplifier.

PAGE 12

OPERATION

DESCRIPTION OF TURN-ON SEQUENCE

When turning on the system, the amplifier should always be last.

The KSA On/Off switch is part of a multi-level turn-on circuit that goes

through several steps of protection. Upon turn-on, the amplifier’s outputs
are not connected to the speakers. After the protection circuits have

determined that the unit has completely stabilized, the speaker relays will
engage. You will hear a click at this point. The LED’s in the bias meter will

start at the highest bias level upon turn-on and slowly work their way down
to no-bias. This process takes approximately 1 minute. The amplifier is
ready to use once the bias meters have settled to the no-bias level.

1. Push the black Power button on the amplifier front panel to turn it on.

The Power button is the larger of the two buttons at the top of the face plate.
The blue LED labeled POWER in the center of the bias meter will illuminate
when the Power button is depressed. The amplifier will progress through the

turn-on sequence described above.

2. With the preamplifier in the Mute position, or volume control fully
attenuated, select a source. Turn the volume control up to your desired

listening level.

3. Enjoy.

OPERATION

SYSTEM NOISE CONSIDERATIONS

AC grounding often becomes critical when connecting high performance

audio gear. When mixing and matching audio components, each with their

own ground potentials, a low frequency hum can become present in one or

both speakers. This can often occur when introducing a new component into

the system.

If there is a low frequency hum coming from the speakers when the KSA is

connected into the system, follow these simple trouble-shooting steps:

1. Check all of the input and output connections, making sure they are of

sound construction. With the amplifier off, remove the interconnect wiring

and tum the amplifier back on. If the hum disappears, shut the amplifier

off and reinsert one of the interconnect cables and turn the amplifier back

on. If the hum is present with one or both interconnects inserted, there may
be a defective cable. Have the interconnect cabling checked before proceed­ing.

2. If the interconnect proves to be fine, more than likely you are experiencing

a ground loop. This can often easily be eliminated. Contact your dealer or

KRELL for assistance.

PAGE 14

OPERATION

BIAS LEVEL METER

The KSA amplifiers utilize Sustained Plateau Biasing, a proprietary KRELL

design. The Bias display meter on the front panel of the amplifier displays

which level of bias the amplifier is utilizing. Unlike sliding bias designs,

Sustained Plateau Bias only changes level when the demand situation

relative to input and source material changes. The signal passes through a

section called an Anticipator circuit. Once the level of bias is determined by

the Anticipator circuit, it automatically biases the output ~f the amplifier

before the signal is passed through the output stage. The Anticipator circuit

is several times faster than the output stage itself. This technique insures

all signal is passed through the amplifier in pure Class A operation. If the

amplifier only requires a low level of Class A bias, the amplifier will bias itself

to use only the amount of Class A power necessary to the demand

parameters. Should the demand parameters exceed the bias level the

amplifier is presently working under, the amplifier will increase its bias to

the next level to allow all signal to come through in Class A operation. If the

demand parameters are less then the bias level indicates for more than 15-

20 seconds, the amplifier will drop to the next lowest bias level.

The bias levels are indicated by appropriate LEDs in the faceplate meter

display as they are activated.

Should the demand parameters reach a point at which the temperature of

the external heatsink reaches approximately 80 degrees Celsius, the last two

levels of bias 3 and 4 will be disabled until the heatsink temperature drops

to a safe operating level. The overall output power of the amplifier is not

changed when this occurs, only the amount of class A power. You will notice

the LEDs corresponding to the top two levels of bias will not illuminate. The

LEDs for levels 3 and 4.will come back on when the heatsink temperature
is at safe operating levels. This temperature fluctuation will not harm the

amplifier. It is provided for consumer safety in a home listening environ-

ment.

PAGE 15

OPERATION

FRONT PANEL METER BUTTON

A small button beneath the Power button on the front panel controls Bias

Meter display illumination. When engaged, the meter display will no longer
indicate bias levels; only the Blue pilot LED will be visible. The Bias Level
meter can also be turned on or off via the remote control.

PAGE 16

OPERATION

REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS

The KSA-100S/200S/300S are the first high performance amplifiers to

utilize remote control functions. The amplifiers can be switched on or offand
the meter function can be changed from your listening position via the hand-

held remote control.

The KSA remote control duplicates the front panel switches on the amplifi-

ers. The Power button will turn the amplifier on and off, while the Meter
button will choose between a full bias meter display or no bias LED

illumination.

When the amplifier is switched On, the Blue POWER LED and Bias Level
Meter display will illuminate. When the amplifier is switched Off, no LEDs

will be illuminated.

When the Bias Level Meter is turned off, no LEDs will be visible except for
the blue pilot LED. When the Bias Meter display is on, the bias level will be

displayed with the appropriate LEDs.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

NOTE: Batteries should be replaced when the KSA functions from the remote

control become intermittent.

1. Remove the four hex head screws from the back of the remote control.

2. Remove the back plate to expose the battery storage compartment.

3. Replace batteries (Refer to the polarity drawing while inserting the
batteries)

4. Replace the back plate and insert the four hex head screws.

PAGE 17

OPERATION

PROTECTION CIRCUITRY

There are no fuses in the KSA. The amplifier is protected by a series of non-

intrusive, opto-coupled circuits that constantly evaluate the amplifier’s
operation. Appropriate protective action exists for DC conditions, short

circuit, oscillation, AC power anomalies, high ground resistance and out-of­phase ground. Collectively, the protection circuitry is designed to avoid

damage to the amplifier or speakers caused by other defective components,
faulty wiring, mishandling of the system or amplifier failure. When the
protection circuit is engaged, the amplifier will shut off and short its output.

The amplifier can be turned on after resolving either the input or output

problem.

SIMPLE TROUBLE-SHOOTING STEPS

Follow these steps when trying to resolve the cause of potential amplifier
related failure. If the amplifier will not turn on, or stay on:

1. Disconnect all input and output connections. Once this is completed, try

turning the amplifier on.

If the amplifier does not come on, check the circuit breaker on the back
panel. If the circuit breaker has popped out or appears to be more extended

than usual, reset the breaker switch by pressing it back in. If the amplifier

still does not come back on, call KRELL.

If the amplifier does not come on and the circuit breaker on the back of the
unit seems normal, check the house circuit breaker or fuse for the power
outlet associated with the amplifier.

NOTE: When turning the amplifier on and off between cable checks, let the
amplifier settle for at least 45 seconds before turning it back on.

2. If the amplifier turns on and appears to work properly again, turn the
amplifier off and reconnect the output speaker cables for one channel only.
If the amplifier turns on normally, reconnect the other channel output

speaker cables.

PAGE 18

OPERATION

Should the amplifier turn off when either output cable is connected, the
problem is cable or speaker related. Check to make sure there are good
mechanical connections on the speaker cabling and there are no frayed ends

or wires shorting the output terminals together. Have your speaker cables
checked and repaired if necessary by your dealer before proceeding.

3. If the amplifier turns on normally with only the speaker cables connected
to the output, turn the amplifier off and reconnect the interconnect cable
for one channel only. If the amplifier turns on normally reconnect the other

channel’s interconnect cable and turn on the amplifier.

Should the amplifier turn off when either interconnect cable is connected,
the problem is cable, preamp or source component related.

Check to make sure there are good mechanical connections on the intercon­nect cabling and there are no broken terminations. Have your interconnect

cables checked and repaired if necessary by your dealer before proceeding.

Should the cabling from the preamplifier to the amplifier input be functional,
check source component interconnects. Should the interconnects prove to

be sound throughout the system, have the preamplifier and any suspect
source components checked. The source components should be checked

individually through the preamp, should the preamp prove to work properly.

4. Should all of the system components, cabling and AC power requirements

be sound and the amplifier continues to not work, call your dealer,

distributor or KRELL to arrange for service. Service can be handled directly
through KRELL. Should you need a KRELL component serviced please call
the factory to discuss the problem and obtain a Return Authorization

number (RA#) and shipping information.

PAGE 19

QUESTIONS AND ANSWER

Q. Should I leave the KSA on at all times?

A. Because of Sustained Plateau Bias, the KSA can be left on at all times
without fear of damage, excessive heat or excessive power consumption. The

KSA amplifier however, is designed to be turned On/Off, and can do so
without degradation. The amplifier will work at full performance within

minutes of turn-on.

Q. When I push the power button on the front of the KSA, the amplifier

doesn’t turn on. What should I do?

A. Check the input and output connections, then retry the amplifier. Check

the circuit breaker on the back of the unit and reset it if necessary. Consult

the protection circuitry section of this manual for more detailed trouble-

shooting procedures.

Q. When I turn the amplifier on there is a loud hum through the speakers.
There wasnever a hum before the KSA was in the system. What should I do?

A. Often when a new component is introduced into an audio system a hum
may become present. This is often caused by a ground loop in the system or
by defective cabling. Check your cables to and from the amplifier. If the hum

persists, contact your dealer or the KRELL staff for assistance.

Q. Can I use special audio power cords on the KSA?

A. You can experiment with special power cords as long as they are grounded

on both ends, meet the amplifier’s 20 amp power requirement, and are safety

approved by organizations like CSA or UL. The use of them, however, is not
recommended without first consulting your dealer or the KRELL factory.

Q. My speakers only have one set of binding posts. Which set of binding posts

should I use on the amplifier?

A. The two binding posts for each channel on the KSA are the same point

electrically. You can use either the top set of posts or the bottom set. They

sound and work the same.

PAGE 20

QUESTIONS AND ANSWER

Q. My speakers axe only rated for 150 watts, is the KSA-200 or KSA-300

going to be too much power for them?

A. Seldom do you break a speaker by over powering it. Usually lower powered

amplifiers will clip driving a loud speaker during heavy demand situations

and consequentially damage the speaker. KRELL amplifiers can break

speakers, but a responsible listener should know the limitations of his/her

system and exercise caution. The higher powered KRELL amplifiers will

sound better because of the increased control over the speaker. Should you

have any questions contact your dealer or the KRELL staff for assistance.

Q. When I connected the KSA to my system with the single-ended inputs a

loud buzz came through my speakers. Is the amplifier broken?

A. The KSA has special shorting pins in the XLR inputs that enable the

amplifier to function properly with the single-ended inputs. If the shorting

pins are not inserted between pin 1 and 3 the 180 degree input will be open

to excess noise.

Otherwise single-ended inputs will work fine with the unit. The performance

of the amplifier is much improved when using the balanced inputs.
