P PARATION OF INSTALLATION SITES
Before you physically install your SBP-64X we recommend that you follow these
guidelines in choosing the locations for the processor and power supply. This will
facilitate a clean trouble fr¢6".installation.
Power Supply
1. Choose a suitable location for the power supply following three guidelines.
Although well shielded, the power supply should not be placed in close
A.
proximity to hum sensitive components (i.e. PREAMPS, TURNTABLES...).
B.You are provided two 6 foot power supply cables to span the distance
between the power supply and the processor. You must therefore, plan their
respective positioning within a 6 foot radius.
C.Allow ample air space for heat dissipation on the top and sides of the power
supply. Five inches on top and two inches on either side will be sufficienI:*

PLACEMENT
Caution: The blue Spanning Cables are proprietary in both their
material design, and their "pin out" connections. Do not modify,
substitute, or extend them in any way! This would incur a high risk of
damage to both the power supply and processor which will void all
warranty coverage.
2. Run the, male end of the supplied AC cord from the power supply location to a
nearby~vall socket. This will be easier to accomplish now, as the component itself
is not in the way. DO NOT PLUG THE AC CORD INTO THE WALL SOCKET AT
THIS TIME!
Caution: While the SBP-64X’s superb regulation will not require a dedi-
cated AC circuit, we strongly advise against any connections through
extension cords or multiple AC adaptors.
Caution: Do not remove, or bypass the grounding lug (with an adaptor)
of the provided AC cord as it may induce severe RFI into your playback
system.
Note: As with any computer product, you may wish to provide surge and spike
protection for your SBP-64X.
The Processor
1.The processor itself is not particularly sensitive to placement. It may be positioned
anywhere in your component stack so long as it is within reach of the power supply
spanning cables.
CONNECTIONS
1.Place the power supply in its selected location, inserting the female end of the AC
cord into the socket on the rear of its chassis. THE MALE END IS STILL NOT PLUGGED
INTO THE WALL!
2.AT THIS TIME, VERIFY THAT THE "ON/OFF" SWITCH ON THE POWER SUPPLY IS
IN THE "OFF" (DOWN) POSITION.
Run the blue spanning cables to the selected processor location.
3.
4. Position the processor in its appointed location in such a way that the unit will not
fall if not held, yet leaving access to all rear panel connections.
Power
Insert the two power supply Spanning Cable connectors into their appropriate
1.
Analog and Digital sockets and firmly tighten the thumb screws.
Caution: Do not use any tool other than your fingers for tightening the
connectors. It is unnecessary, and may physically damage your component.
Note: The spanning cables are terminated in computer industry standard, gold
plated "D’~ connectors. Their different sizes and keyed profiles eliminate any possibility of an incorrect connection.
Digital Inputs
1.Connect the Digital Output from the Krell Digital MD-1 CD Turntable or your CD/
DAT player to the Digital Input on the rear of your processor. Your SBP-64X will
accommodate input from either the coaxial or optical outputs from any CD/DAT
or Satellite broadcast source.
