Krell Link Connections and Operation
Krell Link in/out connectors on the KPS 25sc
back panel allow you to synchronize remote
control operation for systems that include multi-
ple preamplifiers, amplifiers and associated
components. When the Krell Link in/out con-
nectors are used, the remote capabilities of the
linked components are controlled
from one
component, called the control component. The
linked components respond to stand-by and
operational mode commands from the control
component via MIDI cables.
Note
Krell Link uses standard five pin M/D/ commu-
nication cables, sometimes called MIDI Plus
cables. MIDI cables can be purchased from
your authorized distributor or dealer, or from an
audio supply store.
CONNECTING COMPONENTS
THROUGH KRELL LINK
1. Turn all components off. This ensures com-
ponents are synchronized when the MIDI
cables are connected.
2. Select the control component. It must be in
plain view for proper remote control opera-
tion.
3.
Connect one end of the MIDI cable to the
Krell Link out connector on the control com-
ponent back panel.
4. Connect the other end of the MIDI cable to
the Krell Link in connector on the back
panel of the next component.
5. To link another component, connect anoth-
er MIDI cable to the Krell Link out connector
on the back panel of the second compo-
nent. Connect the remaining end of the
MIDI cable to the Krell Link in connector on
the back panel of a third component.
6.
Link additional components, if desired.
The components are now ready for operation
with Krell Link.
KRELL LINK OPERATION
1. When all components are connected, as
described above, place each component in
the stand-by mode. This ensures all com-
ponents are synchronized when signals
from the control component are sent to
linked components.
2. Switch the control component to the opera-
tional
mode from the component's front
panel power button or through the power
key on the remote control. The linked com-
ponents simultaneously switch to the oper-
ational mode.
An individual linked component can be switched
between the stand-by and operational modes
from its front panel. Switching a linked compo-
nent temporarily breaks the chain of linked
components. To re-establish linked operation,
return all components to the stand-by mode.
Note
See Amplifier Control Options, on page 29,
for information about customizing Krell Link
operation.
