Krell Evolution Amplifiers

Notes
When powering up any system,
always turn amplifiers on last. When
powering down, always turn ampli-
fiers off first.
To avoid loudspeaker damage, be
sure to switch all sources with the
preamplifier level either muted or
fully attenuated. Do not change
inputs to the amplifier while the
amplifier is on.
Krell amplifiers have large reserves
of clean power and can safely drive
loudspeakers to higher sound pres-
sure levels than other amplifiers.
However, use care when setting high
playback levels and lower the vol-
ume level at any sign of loudspeaker
distress.
AC POWER GUIDELINES
MODEL
SERIAL NUMBER
Operate each amplifier from a dedicated AC power line rated at a minimum of 20 amps.
Note
Do not operate the Evolution amplifiers with any device designed to alter or stabilize AC power.
Follow these steps to connect the amplifier to your system:
1. Turn all power sources and components 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 noises
from being introduced into the system.
from being introduced into the system.
3. Connect the Evolution CAST cable(s) from your CAST-enabled preamplifier or
source component to the Evolution CAST 4-pin bayonet input(s) (4) on the ampli-
fier back panel. For balanced operation, connect the interconnect cable(s) from
your preamplifier to the balanced XLR input(s) (6) on the amplifier back panel. For
single-ended operation, connect the interconnect cable(s) from your preamplifier
to the single-ended input(s) (5) on the amplifier back panel.
fier back panel. For balanced operation, connect the interconnect cable(s) from
your preamplifier to the balanced XLR input(s) (6) on the amplifier back panel. For
single-ended operation, connect the interconnect cable(s) from your preamplifier
to the single-ended input(s) (5) on the amplifier back panel.
Notes
Krell recommends using proprietary Evolution CAST connections for unparalleled sonic
performance between the Evolution amplifiers and other CAST-equipped components.
Evolution amplifiers also offer balanced operation. The circuitry and connections associated
with balanced operation not only can minimize sonic loss but also are immune to induced
noise, especially for installations using long cables.
4. Connect the loudspeaker cables to the loudspeaker binding posts (3) on the
amplifier back panel. Loudspeaker binding posts for both stereo and monaural
amplifiers only accept spade lugs.
amplifiers only accept spade lugs.
5. Plug the AC power cord into the IEC power connector (9) on the back panel.
6. Plug the other end of the AC power cord into the wall socket.
Evolution amplifiers are easy to operate:
1. Move the back panel power breaker switch (10) to the up position to place the
amplifier in the stand-by mode. The power status indicator (2) illuminates in red.
2. Press the silver power button (1) on the amplifier front panel. The power status
indicator (2) illuminates in blue. The amplifier is in the operational mode.
Note
The initial power-up phase lasts approximately 30 seconds from the moment the back panel
power breaker switch is placed in the up position. If the power button is pressed during this
period, the power status indicator flashes blue for the remainder of the initial power-up phase.
When the initial power-up phase is complete, the power indicator illuminates in blue and is no
longer flashing.The amplifier is in the operational mode.
3. With the preamplifier muted or volume control completely lowered, select a
source.
4. Increase the volume control to the desired listening level.
5. To turn the amplifier off, place it in the stand-by mode by pressing the power
button on the front panel. The power status indicator turns red, and the amplifier
is in the stand-by mode.
is in the stand-by mode.
It is now safe to turn off the rest of the system.
Powering off
Leave the Evolution amplifiers in the stand-by mode between listening sessions. Turn
the amplifier off using the power breaker switch (10), and disconnect the amplifier
from AC power when the system is not being used for an extended time period.

IMPORTANT
Single-ended inputs on the Evolu-
tion amplifier are cap-coupled.
Use these inputs when connect-
ing to a vacuum tube preamplifier.
