INTRODUCTION
& GENERAL
INFORMATION
Thank you for purchasing
the KRELL KSP-7B Preamplifier.
The KSP-7B is
the latest
evolution
of KRELL's entry level preamplifier
technology.
Many
of its design concepts are similar
to our more expensive preamplifiers
and
are wholly
unique to KRELL. Two important
design
features
are dual-
mono operation
(all
active
stages
are powered by independent
tracking
regulators)
and the complete absence of any capacitors
in the signal path.
The KSP-7B retains
other
features
for which KRELL preamplifiers
have
become recognized:
internally
switchable
loading for moving coil cartridges
and input capacity rarely found on high-end preamplifiers.
All circuitry
in
the KSP-7B is of completely new design -- many aspects of which are derived
from the top-of-the-line
KRS-Balanced Reference
Preamplifier.
The most
significant
of these is the fully balanced output stage.
Balanced circuitry
has long been standard
for professional
audio equipment and is rapidly
becoming the standard
for high-end audio equipment. The sonic benefits
of
balanced
operation
are clearly
audible.
A simple listening
comparison
between the RCA (single-ended)
and the XLR (balanced)
outputs will reveal
improvements in all areas of sonic quality.
The connection of the KSP-7B in
single-ended
and balanced systems is covered on page five.
Please read this
manual thoroughly
before using the KSP-7B. Installation
and operation
are simple to understand
and perform.
The KSP-7B will provide many years of trouble-free
performance.
Please be
sure to return the enclosed warranty registration
card.
