When installing
th'e KSP-7B, always connect the DC cable between the
preamplifier chassis and the power supply before plugging the power
supply into the AC mains.
d. Always disconnect the AC from the mains before disconnecting the
DC cable from the preamplifier.
e. The KSP-7B Select switch should be in the Mute position
and the
volume control fully counterclockwise while making connections.
Our custom RCA connectors
are made to very exacting standards.
Connectors
of lesser
quality
may damage them or cause poor
connections. Please check with your dealer or the factory if you have
any questions.
2. Unit Location Guidelines and Installation
The KSP-7B is designed to be set-up with the power supply installed
at some
distance from the preamplifier chassis. This is to eliminate the possibility
of hum being induced into the phono section.
The motors in CD players or
tape decks can also induce hum into the phono section and, in most cases,
should be placed at least a foot away from the KSP-7B.
Before proceeding with the final installation,
please read and complete the
set-up of the phono section loading. These operations involve removal of the
top cover and are much easier to accomplish before the unit is fully in
place. Instructions and settings are listed in Section B (Pages 2 & 3).
a. Power Supply Location Guidelines
The KSP-7B power supply measures 7 1/4" wide, 8 1/4" deep and 2 1/2"
high. Six foot AC and DC cables are provided with the supply. Plan the
position of the supply and preamplifier
within these lengths. Allow a
small amount of cable to be excess so that neither cable is pulled tight.
Contact the factory if the DC cable is too short. Any attempt to extend it
jeopardizes
the power supply and the preamplifier
and will void the
unit's warranty.
Although well-shielded,
the power supply should not be placed close to
hum-sensitive
components such as turntables,
phono preamplifiers
or
tape decks.
Allow ample air space around the supply for heat dissipation.
Five
inches on top and two inches on each side is adequate. This supply and
any other should not be placed one on top of the other. They should be
placed side-to-side.
