Krell KA V–280p 1 Introduction Thank you for your purchase of the Krell KA V–280p Remote Control Preamplifier . The KA V -280p uses current mode and sur- face mount technologies derived directly from the state-of-the-art Krell KCT Preamplifier .
Definition of T erms OPERA TION Following are the definitions of key terms used in your owner ’s ref- erence manual. Theater Throughput Theater Throughput is a Krell configuration option that allows.
Definition of T erms, continued Krell Current Mode A proprietary Krell circuit topology in which the audio gain stages of a component operate in the current rather than voltage domain. This unique technology provides the component with exceptional speed and a wide bandwidth.
4 Krell KA V–280p Placement Before you install the KA V–280p into your system, review the fol- lowing guidelines to choose the location for the KA V–280p. This will facilitate a clean, trouble-free installation. The KA V–280p does not require any type of special rack or cabinet for installation.

Remote Control Description See Figure 3 on page 1 1 12 Krell KA V–280p The KA V–280p remote control uses one CR2025 lithium battery , which is included with the shipment. To open the battery compartment on the back of the remote control: 1. Place the remote face down on the table.
Remote Control Functions continued Krell KA V–280p 13 23 Pre Key Use this key to activate the KA V–280p remote and access other pre- amplifier commands. Y ou can then access preamplifier commands until you press a different activation key , for example the CD key to access commands for a Krell compact disc player .
Remote Control Functions continued 14 Krell KA V–280p To access and display balance, push either the “L” or the “R” bal- ance key on the remote. The front panel display indicates the bal- ance setting. After 3 seconds of inactivity or after a volume adjust- ment, the front panel display reverts to the volume setting.
Krell KA V–280p 15 Krell recommends using balanced interconnect cables. Balanced interconnect cables not only can minimize sonic loss but are also immune to induced noise, especially with installations using long cables. Balanced connections have 6 dB more gain than single- ended connections.
16 Krell KA V–280p Pin 1 Shield (ground) Pin 2 Non-inverting (hot) (0°) Pin 3 Inverting (cold) (180°) RC-5 IN This input accepts baseband RC-5 input commands. It facilitates custom installations by allowing the KA V–280p to be controlled via hard-wired signals from various remote devices.
Krell KA V–280p 17 This section provides information about operating the KA V–280p. The KA V–280p provides basic input selection and volume control operation from the front panel. The remote control includes addi- tional preamplifier functions as well as CD transport and amplifier controls.
18 Krell KA V–280p The KA V–280cd has a discrete tape input and output. The tape output is used to send an input signal from S-1, S-2, S-3, or B-1 to a recording device or processor . Y ou can use the tape feature in three ways: 1. Use this button to playback pre-recorded tapes.
Krell KA V–280p 19 To simplify the integration of an audio/video surround sound processor into your system, set any input on the KA V–280p (S-1, S-2, S-3, or B-1) to operate as a unity gain stage. Krell calls this configuration Theater Throughput.
20 Krell KA V–280p AC grounding becomes critical when connecting high performance audio components. When you mix and match audio components, each with its own ground potential, a low frequency hum may occur in one or both loudspeakers. This sometimes occurs when introducing a new component into a system.
