2 Krell S–1000
Following are the definitions of key terms used in your owner’s refer-
ence 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 con-
nections and allow the use of long interconnect cables. Balanced
connections are immune to induced noise from the system or the
environment.
Single-ended
A two-wire input or output circuit. Use care when using single-ended
connections as the ground connection is made last and broken first.
Turn the system off prior to making or breaking single-ended con-
nections. Single-ended connections are not recommended for con-
nections requiring long cable runs.
Off
When the power switch on the back panel is placed in the down
position and LEDs turn off, the component is off.
Stand-by Mode
When the S–1000 is connected to AC power and the back panel
power switch is on, the power/stand-by LED (2) illuminates in red.
This indicates that the component is in stand-by mode, a low power
consumption status that keeps the audio and regulator circuits at
idle. Krell recommends leaving the component in the stand-by mode
when it is not playing music.
Operational Mode
When the component is in the stand-by mode, and you press the
power button/pre key (1) the power/stand-by LED illuminates in
blue. The component is in the operational mode and is ready to play
music.
