Connecting the KPS 25sc
to Your System
See Figure

INPUT AND OUTPUT
CONNECTIONS
Krell recommends using its proprietary Krell
CAST system for unparalleled sonic perfor-
mance between the KPS 25sc and other CAST-
equipped components such as the Full Power
Balanced amplifiers or the Master Reference
Amplifiers.
The KPS 25sc also offers 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.
Follow these steps to connect the KPS 25sc to
your system.
IMPORTANT
Connecting non-CAST components to CAST
inputs or outputs can damage your equipment
and void your warranty.
Do not attempt to change CAST cable termina-
tions or CAST inputs or outputs to RCA or XLR
connectors. It is electrically impossible to con-
vert CAST input or output connections for bal-
anced or single-ended voltage operation.
Please read the Warranty, on page 32. to under-
stand the warranty limitations of the KPS 25sc.
Make sure all power sources and compo-
nents are off before connecting inputs and
outputs.
Neatly organize wiring between the KPS 25sc
and the preamplifier and amplifier,
and
between all other components. Separate AC
wires from audio cables to prevent hum and
other unwanted noises from being introduced
into the system.
Connect the Krell CAST cables from the left
and right Krell CAST 4-pin outputs (42)
the KPS 25sc back panel to your CAST-
enabled preamplifier or amplifier.
For balanced or single-ended operation,
connect the interconnect cables from either
the left and right fixed balanced (38), vari-
able balanced (39), fixed single-ended (40),
or variable single-ended (41) outputs on the
KPS 25sc back panel to the balanced or
single-ended inputs on your preamplifier or
amplifier.
(The remaining outputs can be
connected to another preamplifier or ampli-
fier in a different system).
IMPORTANT
Use variable output terminals when the KPS 25sc
is connected directly to a Krell stereo power ampli-
fier or to a pair of Krell monaural power amplifiers
that do not have gain control Using fixed outputs
can damage power amplifiers and loudspeakers.
4. Connect the cables from your source equip-
ment to the appropriate balanced (31), tape
(32) or single-ended (34, 35, 36) analog
=nputs on the KPS 25sc back panel.
5. Connect the cables from your digital audio
or video source to the optics input (46)
coaxial digital input (47) on the KPS 25sc
back panel.
6. Connect the cables from your optics output
(43) or coaxial digital output (44) on
KPS 25sc back panel to send signals to a
digital recording device, external digital/ana-
log processor, or video source.
