This section provides information about connecting the S–1000 Sur-
round Preamp/processor to analog and digital sources, video sources,
and amplifiers. The S–1000 is equipped with balanced and single-
ended inputs.
Krell recommends using balanced interconnect 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 speci-
fication in mind. Krell recommends that you use balanced inputs for
components that will use the preamp mode.
Follow these steps to connect the S–1000 to your system. Refer to
TABLE 1, on page 15, for more information on device connections
and available decoding modes, including factory default decoding
modes:
1. Make sure all power sources and components are off before
connecting inputs and outputs.
2. Neatly arrange and organize wiring to and from the S–1000 and
all components. Separate AC wires from audio cables to prevent
hum or other unwanted noise from being introduced into the
system.
3. Connect the right and left outputs of your source components to
the inputs on the S–1000.
Stereo analog input sources. The S–1000 is equipped with
nine pairs of single-ended analog audio inputs (S-1 through S-7
(41), tape (37), and VCR (39) via RCA connectors and one set of
balanced analog audio inputs (36) via XLR connectors.
Multi-channel analog sources. (For example, multi-channel
SACD and DVD audio players). Connect the outputs of your
source component to the 7.1 inputs (42) on the back panel.
Digital audio sources. Connect the digital audio output of
your source components to the digital inputs on the S –1000.
The S –1000 is equipped with four coaxial digital audio inputs
(44) via RCA connectors and four EIAJ optical digital inputs
(43) via TosLink connectors.
