Quick Start
To access the full array of available functions for the Phantom, please read this
entire owner’s reference manual. The abbreviated routine in this Quick Start sec-
tion will allow you to connect and operate the Phantom quickly and enjoy its basic
functions.
The front and rear panels are shown in the diagrams on pages 16 and 23. Each
button or feature is labeled with a callout number, and these numbers are shown
in brackets in the sections below. (In the following instructions, the word “button”
refers to a front panel operation, and “key” refers to a remote control operation.)
Connecting the Phantom to Your System
Position the preamplifier and power supply where you intend to use them in
your system. Do not move the chassis after they are connected.
1. Connect the power supply chassis and the preamplifier chassis with the 12-pin
DC cable provided, using the back panel DC power connectors (24).
2. Neatly arrange and organize wiring to and from the preamplifier and all compo-
nents. Separate the AC wires from any audio cables to prevent hum or other
unwanted noise from being introduced into the system.
3. Connect the outputs of your source equipment to the appropriate CAST (18),
balanced (15), single-ended (16), or tape inputs (17) on the Phantom.
4. Connect the main outputs (20) on the Phantom to your amplifier’s inputs.
5. Connect the supplied AC power cord to the IEC power cord receptacle (27) of
the power supply unit.
6. Plug the other end of the AC power cord into AC power. The display (3) scrolls
through Phantom SOFTWARE VERSION , and the preamplifier chassis stand-by/power
LEDs (7) illuminate red and the power supply chassis stand-by/power LED (7)
illuminates green, indicating that the Phantom is in stand-by mode. When the
scrolling stops, the Phantom is ready to be powered on.
Note
Use only the power cord provided or Krell Vector HC power cable with the preamplifier
to make the connection to AC power. Operation with a power cord other than the one
supplied by Krell could induce noise, limit current, or otherwise impair the ability of the
preamplifier to perform optimally.
