Introduction
Page 6
2 Krell Showcase Amplifier
Following are the definitions of key terms used in your owner’s reference manual.
Balanced
A symmetrical input or output circuit that has equal impedance from
both input terminals to a common ground reference point. The
industry standard for professional and sound recording installations,
balanced connections have 6 dB more gain than single-ended connections and allow the use of long interconnect cables. Balanced
connections are less susceptible than single-ended connections to
induced noise from the system or the environment.
Single-ended
A two-wire input or output circuit. Use care when using singleended connections as the ground connection is made last and broken first. Turn the system off prior to making or breaking singleended connections. Single-ended connections are not recommended for connections requiring long cable runs.
Off
When the AC power cord is not plugged into the wall, the red
stand-by LED is not illuminated and the component is off.
Stand-by Mode
When the AC power cord is plugged into the wall, the red stand-by
LED illuminates, indicating that the component is in the stand-by
mode. This low power consumption status keeps the audio and circuits at idle. Krell recommends leaving the component in the standby mode when it is not playing music.
Operational Mode
From the stand-by mode, when the power button on the front panel
is pressed and the blue power LED illuminates, the component is in
the operational mode and ready to play music.
Krell Current Mode
A proprietary Krell circuit topology in which the audio gain stages of
a component operate in the current rather than the voltage domain.
This unique technology provides the component with exceptional
speed and a wide bandwidth.

IMPORTANT
Notes
Page 8
4 Krell Showcase Amplifier
Before you integrate the Showcase Amplifier into your system,
review the following guidelines to choose the location for the component. This will facilitate a clean, trouble-free installation.
The Showcase Amplifier requires at least two inches (5 cm) of
clearance on each side and at least two inches (5 cm) of clearance
above and below the component to provide adequate ventilation.
The Showcase Amplifier does not require any type of special rack
or cabinet for installation. For the dimensions of your amplifier see
Specifications, on page 17.
Place the amplifier as close to the loudspeakers as possible and
keep the loudspeaker cable length to a minimum. Loudspeaker
cable adds impedance to the load 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 delivered to the loudspeakers.
Placement
Krell recommends operating the Showcase Amplifier from a dedicated 15-amp AC power line. Please contact your Krell dealer, distributor, or Krell before using any devices designed to alter or stabilize the AC power for the Showcase Amplifier.

Connecting the Showcase Amplifier to Your System
10 Krell Showcase Amplifier
The Showcase Amplifier is equipped with balanced and
single-ended inputs.
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 singleended connections. When level matching is critical, please keep
this gain value in mind.
The Showcase Amplifier is shipped with shorting pins in the XLR
inputs. These pins should remain in the XLR inputs if the amplifier
is operating in the single-ended mode. When the shorting pin is
inserted, pins 1 (lower left) and 3 (top) are shorted together.
Remove the shorting pins to connect the amplifier for balanced
operation.
The XLR pin configuration is described below:
Pin 1 Shield (ground)
Pin 2 Non-inverting (hot) (0°)
Pin 3 Inverting (cold) (180°)
Follow these steps to connect the Showcase Amplifier to your system.
1. Make sure all power sources and components are off before
connecting inputs and outputs.
2. Neatly organize the wiring between the amplifier and all system
components. Separate AC wires from audio cables to prevent
hum or other unwanted noise from being introduced into the
system.
3. Connect the interconnect cables from your output device to the
amplifier inputs using the balanced (4) or single-ended (5)
inputs located on the back panel. The balanced inputs use
three-pin XLR connectors; the single-ended inputs use RCA
connectors. The Showcase 5 uses only inputs 1 through 5 and
the Showcase 6 uses inputs 1 through 6.
Use only one input to each amplifier channel at a time. You may use
the balanced inputs for some of the amplifier channels and the single-ended inputs for the remaining channels.

Amplifier Operation
12 Krell Showcase Amplifier
When powering up your system, turn the amplifiers on last. When
powering down your system, turn amplifiers off first. The procedures for amplifier operation follow.
1. Plug the end of the AC power cord into the AC wall outlet.
2. The red stand-by LED (2) illuminates.
When the amplifier is first plugged in, there is a brief delay before
it can be put in the operational mode. Please wait approximately
10 seconds.
If the red LED flashes when the amplifier is in the stand-by mode,
unplug the amplifier from the AC wall outlet to reset the protection
circuit. Check the loudspeakers and loudspeaker cables for potential short circuits before plugging the amplifier back into the wall
outlet.
3. Press the power button (1) on the front panel. The blue power
LED (3) illuminates and you hear a click. The amplifier is in
the operational mode.
Krell recommends leaving the Showcase Amplifier in the stand-by
mode unless you will not be playing music for a long time.
Always turn the amplifier off before changing input connections,
and mute or fully attenuate the preamplifier level when switching
sources.
The Showcase Amplifier has tremendous reserves of power and
safely drives loudspeakers to extremely high sound pressure levels. However, use care when setting high playback levels and lower
the volume level at any sign of loudspeaker distress.

Troubleshooting System Noise
Krell Showcase Amplifier 13
When you mix and match high-performance audio components,
each with its own ground potential, a low frequency hum may occur
in one or all loudspeakers. If this happens when you place the
Showcase Amplifier into your system, follow these simple troubleshooting steps:
1. Check that all input and output connections are of sound
construction.
2. With the amplifier off, remove all the interconnect cables, then
turn the amplifier on. If the hum disappears, turn the amplifier
off and reinsert one of the interconnect cables. Turn the
amplifier back on.
3. If the hum reappears with the interconnect cable reinserted, the
cable may need to be replaced. Turn the amplifier off and connect a different interconnect cable to the same location. Turn
the amplifier back on.
4. If the hum disappears with the interconnect cable reinserted,
that cable most likely is sound.
5. Turn the amplifier off, disconnect the interconnect cable, and reconnect one of the other interconnect cables.
6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 until you have checked each interconnect cable.
7. If all the interconnect cables appear to be sound, and you still
have hum, you may be experiencing a ground loop. Please
contact your authorized Krell dealer, distributor, or Krell for suggestions on how to eliminate the hum.

Questions and Answers
14 Krell Showcase Amplifier
Q. Should I turn the Showcase Amplifier off (unplug the amplifier)
when not playing music?
A. No. Leave the Showcase Amplifier in the stand-by mode when
not playing music. The stand-by mode avoids cold starts as well
as minimizes heat output and power consumption. Turn the
amplifier off if you plan to be away for a period of time, for
example, on vacation. See Amplifier Operation, on page 12.
Q. When I turn the amplifier on there is a loud hum through the
loudspeakers. What should I do?
A. When a new component is introduced, a low frequency hum
may occur in one or both loudspeakers. Check that all input
and output connections and cables are of sound construction.
See Troubleshooting System Noise, on page 13. If the con-
nections and cables are sound, you may be experiencing a
ground loop. This can often be easily eliminated. Please contact
your authorized Krell dealer, distributor, or Krell for suggestions.
Q. When I connect the amplifier to my system using the single-
ended inputs, a loud buzz comes from my loudspeakers. What
is it?
A. Check that the shorting pins for the Showcase Amplifier are
inserted into the XLR inputs (the unit is shipped with the pins in
place). When using the single-ended inputs, shorting pins must
be inserted between pins 1 and 3 to keep external noise from
corrupting the signal. For more information, see Connecting
the Showcase Amplifier to Your System, on page 10.
Q. I cannot turn the amplifier on. Why not?
A. Make sure the stand-by LED is not flashing. If the stand-by LED
is flashing, unplug the amplifier from the AC wall receptacle and
then plug it back into the AC wall receptacle. If the stand-by
LED continues to flash, contact your Krell-authorized dealer or
distributor, or Krell. If no LEDs are illuminated, check the power
cord and check the AC mains fuse. To remove the fuse, unplug
the power cord from the amplifier and slide out the fuseholder.
Q. I get no signal from one of the amplifier channels when the unit
is on. Why not?
A. Make sure you are not connected to channels 6 or 7 on a
Showcase 5, or to channel 7 on a Showcase 6. If you are using
the single-ended input, make sure the shorting pin is inserted
between pins 1 and 3, and not between pins 2 and 3.
