CONFIGURATION CHANGES
The modular nature of the KAV-500 makes changing the original
configuration of the amplifier a simple procedure. Configuration changes are
made by adding, bridging or removing KAV-500 amplifier channels.
IMPORTANT
Removing the cover to reconfigure for bridged operation and to change fuses
(see Troubleshooting) are the ONLY instances you are authorized to remove
the cover of any KRELL component without voiding your Warranty. For more
information on product limitations and restrictions, see Warranty page.
2. To install an additional amplifier channel.
a. Turn the amplifier off.
b. Remove the two screws on the top rear edge of the amplifier channel and the
two screws on the bottom rear edge of the amplifier channel that secure the
blank panel to the rear of the KAV-500 at the new amplifier channel location.
c. Each amplifier channel is equipped with three male banana plugs. Slide the
amplifier channel into the chassis until the three plugs lock into place at the
rear of the front panel.
d. With the supplied 5/32" hex wrench, install the ten hex bolts on the bottom
of the amplifier, firmly securing the T-bar heatsink to the chassis. Do not
tighten the bolt until all ten are threaded.
e. Install the two screws on the top rear edge of the amplifier channel and the
two screws on the bottom rear edge of the amplifier channel. These screws
are situated on the plate to which the binding posts are mounted.
f. Connect input and output cables.
g. Set the gain switch following the guidelines outlined previously.
h. Power up all source and control components and then the KAV-500.
2. Bridging two amplifier channels
Any two adjacent channels can be combined, or bridged, to form one 400 watt
channel. The KAV-500 can support two bridged 400 watt channels.
a. Turn the amplifier off.
b. Remove the top cover using the supplied T-10 and T-15 Torx wrenches.
