Krell KAV–300iL 5
Placement
Before you install the KAV–300iL into your system, review the fol-
lowing guidelines to choose the location for the KAV–300iL. This
will facilitate a clean, trouble-free installation. The KAV–300iL does
not require any type of special rack or cabinet for installation. For
the dimensions of the KAV–300iL, see Specifications, on the
back cover.
Place the KAV–300iL on a firm, level surface, away from excessive
heat, humidity, or moisture. The KAV–300iL 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. Installations inside cabinetry may need extra
ventilation.
The KAV–300iL is not hum-sensitive. Other components may be
placed on or around the KAV–300iL (make sure ventilation grids
remain unobstructed).
Place the amplifier as close to the loudspeakers as possible and
keep loudspeaker cable lengths to a minimum. Loudspeaker cable
adds impedance to the load the amplifier must drive, regardless of
the cable’s gauge. All Krell amplifiers drive the lowest impedances
with ease, but long loudspeaker cables reduce the maximum
power that can be delivered to the loudspeakers.
The KAV–300iL has superb regulation and does not require a ded-
icated AC circuit. Avoid connections through extension cords or
multiple AC adapters. High quality 15 amp grounded AC strips are
acceptable. High quality AC line conditioners or filters may be
used if they are grounded and meet or exceed the unit’s maximum
power consumption of 1800 Watts.
The KAV–300iL should be operated only with the power cord
supplied. Please contact your authorized Krell dealer, distributor,
or Krell before using any devices designed to alter or stabilize the
AC power for the KAV–300iL.
