INTRODUCTION
Thank you for your purchase of the KID, the Krell
Interface Dock, and/or the Papa Dock. The KID can
be operated alone, or docked in the optional Papa
ock, a dedicated 150 W power amplifier designed
D
specifically by Krell for use with the KID.
KID. The KID is designed to deliver maximum sonic
performance from an iPod-device, and is the first
product of its kind to utilize the fully differential output of the internal DAC for iPod-devices.
Additional features include opto-isolated digital connections between the iPod-device and the KID, and
balanced differential Class A circuitry. Ultra low
noise volume control, with digitally-controlled analog
bass and treble controls fine tune your listening experience. A full-function remote control makes operation flexible. Balanced and single-ended outputs,
composite and S-Video outputs, and an RS-232
control allow for a variety of connection options.

Papa Dock. The Papa Dock is engineered to drive
virtually any loudspeaker to realistic listening levels.
The amplifier has a proprietary connection for the
ID, enabling all KID output functions to route
K
through the Papa Dock back panel. It features a substantial 450 W, 40,000 microfarad power supply. Left
and right channels incorporate discrete, direct coupled topology, 12 high current output devices, and
terminate in WBT loudspeaker connectors.
This owner’s reference contains important information on the placement, installation, and operation of the KID and the Papa Dock. Please read

The KID remote control uses one CR2025 lithium
battery which is included with the shipment.
To open the battery compartment on the back of
the remote control:
1. Place the remote face down on the table.
2. Use your thumbnail or a small jeweler’s or eyeglass screwdriver to move the small tab
toward the center of the remote, while using
your index fingernail or screwdriver to pull
down gently on the slot to the right of the tab.
The battery compartment slides out.
PLACEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
4
Before installing the KID or the Papa Dock into
your system, please review the following guidelines for the proper location of the components.
This will facilitate a clean, trouble-free installation.
Positioning the components
in the listening ar
Place the KID and the Papa Dock on a firm, level
surface, away from excessive heat, humidity, or
moisture. These components do not require a
special rack or cabinet for installation.
Place the Papa Dock as close to the loudspeakers
as possible and keep the loudspeaker cable
ew holes by hand.

3. Place the battery plus side up in the battery tray.
4. Slide battery compartment back into the
remote until you hear a click.
The remote control is ready for operation.
Notes. Do not use a knife or other sharp objects to
open the battery compartment; to avoid scratching
the remote control finish.
Replace batteries when the remote control functions
becomes intermittent. Remove batteries if the remote
control is not to be used for a long period of time.
Battery leakage can damage the remote control.
length to a minimum. Loudspeaker cable adds
impedance to the load that the amplifier must
drive, regardless of the cable's gauge. Krell amplifiers drive the lowest impedances with ease, but
long loudspeaker cables reduce the maximum
power that is deliver
ed to the loudspeakers.
Component Ventilation
The KID requires ventilation clearance:
at least eight inches (20 cm) above (to accom-
—
modate the iPod-device)
— the ventilation grids on the bottom of the KID
chassis must be unobstructed.

If the KID is placed in a closed cabinet, more than
eight inches (20 cm) of clearance may need to be
provided above and below the component, or
small fans may be needed to increase ventilation.
THE KID / PAPA DOCK CONNECTION
To connect the KID to the Papa Dock:
5
1. Remove the connector plate from the bottom
of the KID, using the T-10 Torx wrench
provided in the Papa Dock accessory box.
2. Place the KID and the Papa Dock side-byside, with the front panel facing toward you.
3. Lift the KID up and position it over the connection well (6) in the Papa Dock.
4. Lower the KID gently but firmly onto the
Papa Dock docking connector (7).

T
be unobstructed.
he Papa Dock requires ventilation clearance:
T
— at least two inches (5 cm) above, below, and
on each side.
To disconnect the KID from the Papa Dock:
1. Facing the front of the two components, insert
your fingers in the plunger holes on the bottom
panel of the Papa Dock.
2. Push up both plungers (8) simultaneously. The
plungers elevate the KID, disconnecting it fr
om
the Papa Dock.
3. Lift the KID out of the connection well on the
Papa Dock, and set the KID aside.
Krell recommends using balanced interconnect
6
cables. Balanced interconnect cables not only can
minimize sonic loss but also are immune to
induced noise, especially for installations using
long cables. Balanced connections have 6 dB
more gain than single-ended connections. When
level matching is critical, keep this specification in
mind. Krell recommends using balanced inputs for
components that use the preamplifier mode.
1. Make sure all power sources and components
are off before connecting inputs and outputs.
2. Neatly arrange and organize wiring between the
KI D , the Papa Dock, and all system components. Separate AC wires from audio cables to
prevent hum or other unwanted noise from
being introduced into the system.
Connect the KID to Your System
The KID connects to a preamplifier, processor, or
amplifier as an A/V source, and is equipped with a
balanced and single-ended analog audio output, an
S-Video, and a composite video output. The Papa
Dock is a 150 W amplifier specifically designed by
Krell for use with the KID.
Maintain the correct left/right orientation: balanced
outputs use three-pin XLR connectors. Singleended outputs use RCA connectors.
1. Connect the balanced (12) or single-ended (11)
analog audio outputs to the corresponding
inputs on the preamplifer or processor, or to the
Papa Dock or other amplifier in your system.
2. Connect the S-Video (10) or composite video
(9) outputs to the corresponding input on the
monitor in your system.
3. Plug the AC power cord into the IEC power
connector (15) on the back panel. Then plug
the AC power cord into the wall socket.
The KID is now ready for the iPod-device connection.
AC Power Guidelines for the KID. Use only the
power cord provided with the KID. The use of the
KID with devices designed to alter or stabilize the
AC power may impair the ability of the interface
dock to perform optimally.
