D. INPUT AND OUTPUT
CONNECTIONS
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.
1. Connect the speaker cables .to. the output terminals of
the amplifier. Tile KS~T-100 utilizes two sets of parallel
5-w~y binding posts tor the left and right channels. This
confi~guration makes cable connections and bi-wiring
simple.
NOTE: The binding, posts are of the highest quality but
will break if over.tigla.tened. In.se.rt wire or spade lug into
the connector anO tighten until there is no movement
from the cable.
CAUTION: Make sure all cable terminations are of the
highest quality, free from frayed ends, shorts or cold
solder joints.
2. Connect the interconnect cables from your preampli-
fier to the input of the KST-100.
The wiring to and from the amplifier, and all components
in general, should be arranged m a neat, organizedman-
net. Specifically_, AC wires should be separated from
audio wires. Ttiis practice avoids hum or other unwanted
noise from being induced into the system.
The KST-100 has balanced and Single-ended i,np.uts. The
balanced inputs use 3-pin XLR connectors anti the
single-ended inputs use standard RCA connectors.
CAUTION: Use only one input to the amplifier at a time.
The KST-100 is shipped with shorting pins in the XLR
inputs. These pins sliould remain in the XLR inputs if
you are operating the KST-100 in the single-ended mode.
.When t.he shortingpin is inserted, pin 1 and pin 3 are
shorted together. Tile shorting pins must be removed to
connect the KST-100 for balanced operation.
