Placement
WARNING
The amplifier must not be located where it
could be exposed to dripping or splashing
fluids.
Before you install the KAV-150a into your
system, review the following guidelines to
choose the location for the KAV-150a. This
will facilitate a clean, trouble-free installation.
The KAV-150a does not require any type of
special rack or cabinet for installation. For the
dimensions of the KA V- 150a, see
Specifications on page 10.
Place the KAV-150a amplifier on a firm level
surface away from dirt or moisture. Ideally,
the amplifier should be placed as close to
the speakers as possible. Run long bal-
anced interconnect cables to the amplifier
and keep the speaker cable length to a min-
imum. Speaker cable adds impedance to
the load the amplifier must drive, regardless
of the cable's gauge. All KrelP amplifiers will
drive the lowest impedances with ease, but
when impedance is added due to long
cable lengths, amplifier power is wasted in
the cable. Long speaker cables reduce the
maximum power that can be delivered to
the speakers.
CABINETRY CONSIDERATIONS
The KAV-150a amplifier can become quite
warm under normal operation. Install
the
KAV-150a in a location that provides unob-
structed ventilation.
IMPORTANT
The ventilation grids on top of the KA V- 150a
need to be unobstructed at all times during
operation. Do not place flammable material
on top of or beneath the KAV-150a. For
installation inside cabinet~ extra ventila-
tion may be necessary. Make sure the
KAV-150a has adequate air circulation.
Generally two inches of clearance on each
side of the amplifier and eight inches of
clearance above the amplifier will provide
adequate ventilation.
In more extreme
instances, small fans can aid in removing
excess heat from internal spaces. Contact
your dealer, distributor, or Krell ® for more
information.
AC POWER GUIDELINES
For best performance, Krell ® recommends
using a dedicated AC power line rated at a
minimum of fifteen amps with the KAV-150a
amplifier. The KAV-150a amplifier should
only be operated with the power cord sup-
plied. Please consult your dealer, distributor,
or Krell ® before using any devices designed
to alter or stabilize the AC power for the
KAV-150a.
