KPS-20t
DETAILS
All operational
features
and functions
of the KPS-20t are described
on pages
7 through 12 of the Reference.
Detailed
below are various
issues
related
to the
connection of the digital
outputs.
This information
is also valid for the KPS-20i
and KPS-20i/I if the optional Digital
Output Module is installed.
Please refer to
the KPS-20t Typical
System Setup on page 26 for a detailed
view of how the
KPS-20t is installed
in an audio system.
CAUTION: When making connections
to this
component or any other,
make sure
the power amplifier
is OFF and the preamplifier
is in the MUTE or STANDBY mode.
DIGITAL OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
The KPS-20t comes standard
with all
current
digital
output
formats:
ST fiber
optic,
AES/EBU balanced,
SPDIF coaxial,
EIAJ optical
and KRELL
Time Sync.
Connect the digital
output(s)
of the KPS-20t to the input(s)
of a digital
recording
device and/or digital-to-analog
processor.
The KPS-20t is also fitted
with Time Sync. Time Sync is a proprietary
system
that
locks
the clocks
of the transport
and certain
KRELL processors.
For a
complete description
of Time Sync, see page 18.
If you are using the Time Sync option,
connect an ST cable between the KPS-20t
Time Sync output and Time Sync input on a Krell processor.
For specific
instructions
on connecting ST cables refer to page 17.
TRANSPORT TO PROCESSOR INTERLINK CONSIDERATIONS
Care should
be taken
in selecting
the type of cable
used to link
your
KPS-20t and processor.
We suggest
using the ST wide bandwidth
fiber
optic
format.
This format has a data rate of approximately
50 megabit.
This allows
accurate
transmission
of the digital
bit stream without
data corruption
and
proves to be sonically
superior.
Using a fiber
optic interconnect
also reduces
ground loop problems often associated
with quality
audio systems.
If coaxial
cable is used, it should be non-capacitive
and have a bandwidth in
excess of 10 MHz to prevent drop-out errors.
For best results
with coaxial cable
we recommend the AES/EBU balanced
format.
The AES/EBU format is a _+ 5 volt
balanced digital
transmission.
Because of the high voltage balanced format, this
system allows
for accurate
data transmission
and has great
sonic
advantages
over standard
single-ended
coaxial
or EIAJ fiber
optic
formats.
The AES/EBU
coaxial cable must have two conductors and a shield for balanced termination.
