b. Connection of KBL Record Outputs
There are two Record outputs which receive the signal from the input
chosen on the Select switch for sending to two tape recorders. The two
outputs are wired in parallel and have no relation to any of the inputs.
Make the connections between the Record outputs and tape recorders at
this time.
c. Connection of the KBL Main Outputs
There are two sets of Main outputs: one set single-ended on RCAs', one
set balanced on XLRs. They are wired in parallel
and can be connected
and operated
simultaneously.
They are provided
to drive
two
independent systems from one preamplifier.
Make the connections between the Main outputs and amplifier(s)
and]or
crossovers at this time.
8. Turn-on of the Preamulifiers
a. Initial
Turn-On
All source components and amplifiers should be off at this point. The
KPA and KBL Select switches should be set to "Mute" position,
and the
KBL volume control(s) should be fully counterclockwise.
Connect the KBL and KPA (if a separate supply is being used for the
KPA) power supply(s) to the AC mains at this point. The LED's on
power supply(s)
and on the preamplifier
front panel(s)
should
illuminate. None of the other LEDs' should be illuminated at this point.
b. Future Use
The KBL and KPA are designed to be on at all times. In other words,
they are not intended to be routinely switched on and off. The only times
it is recommended to turn the units off is when your system will be left
unattended for a long period of time, such as during a vacation or a
business trip. In these cases all other equipment should be turned off,
and the KBL/KPA power supply(s) should be disconnected from the
mains. When you return,
re-connect
the supply(s)
to the AC mains
before turning on other equipment.
This procedure should also be followed if you reorganize your system
and need to change the wiring of the supply(s) to the preamps.
