Introduction
Definition of Terms
The Full PowerBalancedseries of amplifiers
consists of three stereo amplifiers, the Full
Power Balanced 200c, 300c, and 600c, and
three monauralamplifiers, the Full PowerBalanced250Mc,350Mc,and 650Mc.Installation,
connection,andoperationof all amplifiers in the
Full PowerBalancedseries are identical; however, a pair of Full PowerBalancedMonaural
amplifiers are required for stereo operation.
Following are the definitions of key terms used
in your owner’s reference manual.
Full PowerBalancedamplifiers can be configured to accommodate
any sophisticated music
or hometheater system and can be operated
by an optional remote control or through the
remotecontrol of other Krell components.
This owner’s reference manualcontains important information on placement,installation, and
operation of the Full PowerBalanced amplifiers. Pleaseread this information carefully. A
thorough understanding of these details will
help ensuresatisfactory operation and long life
for your Full Power Balanced amplifier and
related system components.
CONFIGURATIONS
Krell Link
A methodof synchronizing remotecontrol operation for Krell systemsthat includemultiple preamplifiers, amplifiers, and associated components. WhenKrell Link in/out connections are
used, the remotecapabilities of the linked components are controlled from one component,
called the control component.The linked components respond to stand-by and operational
mode commandsfrom the control component
via MIDI cables.
INPUT AND OUTPUTCONNECTIONS
Balanced
A symmetricalinput or output circuit that has
equal impedancefrom both input terminals to a
commonground reference point. The industry
standard for professional and soundrecording
installations, balanced connections have 6 dB
more gain than single-ended connections and
allow the use of long interconnect cables. Balanced connections are completely immuneto
induced noise from the systemor the environment.
Krell Current Audio Signal Transmission
(CAST)
A proprietary Krell circuit technologyfor connecting analog components,in which the audio
waveformis transmitted between components
in the current rather than voltage domain.The
speed and bandwidth provided by Krell CAST
yields accurate, realistic music reproduction.

Revolutionary Krell CAST
Technology
Current Audio Signal Transmission, termed
CAST,is a revolutionary methodof connecting
analog audio components for unparalleled
sonic performance. Innovative engineering
combines the new Krell CASTcircuitry with
existing Krell Current Modetechnologyto create entire CASTsystems that reproduce music
with incredible range, tonality, andprecision.
Voltage Signal Transmission
and the Traditional Audio System
Traditionally, signal is transmittedin the voltage
domain between two components. In an audio
system,eachcomponent
is a discrete entity with
uniquecharacteristics that act uponthe musical
signal independently. Each component is
unawareof the other components
in the system.
The cables that connect the componentseach
havetheir ownelectrical characteristics, which
affect the sonic presentationof the entire system.
CAST: A New Approach
CAST
circuitry recognizessignal transmitted in
the current domain instead of the voltage
domain between each component. CASTtransmission unifies the individual componentsand
their interconnects into an electrically linked
whole. Thesonic presentation of the entire system remainsintact.
CASTBasics
Here’s how a CASTaudio system works. Internally, eachCAST
sourcetransfers, or amplifies,
current using Krell CurrentModecircuitry. This
current signal is then output using CASTcircuitry. Whenthe signal is received by a CAST
input, Krell Current Modecircuitry again takes
over until the signal reachesthe loudspeaker.
By maintainingthe musicalsignal in the current
domainfrom beginning to end, an entire CAST
systembehavesas if it is one component.With
CAST,anomaliesof signal transmission between
Krell Full Power
Balanced
Power
Amplifiers
componentsare eliminated. Cable impedances
and their effects on the transmitted signal are
non-existent.
HowCASTand Krell Current ModeInteract
While CASTis a newmethodof transferring the
musical signal betweencomponents,its origin
stems from Krell Current Mode,the technology
developedto transfer the musical signal within
a component. CASTcombined with Krell Current Modetakes circuitry signal transmissionto
the next evolutionary level. In essence, Krell
Current Modemaintainsthe integrity of the signal within the componentand CASTpreserves
the transmitted signal between components.
Together, CASTand Krell Current Modetechnologies unify separate Krell components
into a
singleglobal circuit.
CASTCable Construction
A CASTsystem uses cables manufactured by
Krell and other manufacturers specially
licensed by Krell. Thin and flexible CASTcables
are constructed with the samebuild quality as
other Krell products and are aesthetically
matchedto the componentsthat Krell manufactures. An all-metal bodyand locking connectors
with gold contacts are part of the standardnocompromisespecification developedfor evenj
CASTcable made.
The Best Musical Performance
Whenyou operate a CASTsystem, you will
hear significant improvementsin every performancearea: speed, precision, dynamicrange,
depth and width of the soundstage, transient
impact, tonal balance, harmonicdistortion, and
more. The goal for CASTis the samecompany
goal usedfor all Krell products.Krell strives for
the delivery of the best performanceof a musical event for you, using the full expressionof
technologyto date.

Unpacking
Placement
Two people are needed to remove the Full
PowerBalancedamplifier from its shipping box
safely andeasily.
Before you install the Full Power Balanced
amplifier into your system, please follow the
guidelines in this section to chooseits proper
location. This will facilitate a clean, trouble-free
installation.
1. Openthe shipping box and removethe top
layer of foam. Yousee these items:
1 Full PowerBalancedAmplifier
1 Packet containing the owner’s
reference manualand the warranty
registration card
2. Orient the shipping box so that one person
stands at the front of the amplifier and one
personstands at the rear of the amplifier.
Both peopleneedto grab a pair of the cardboardhandlecutouts (onepair located at the
front of the amplifier andonepair located at
the rear of the amplifier) andsimultaneously
lift the amplifierstraight up, out of the carton.
3. Place the amplifier in a safe location and
removethe protective plastic wrapping.
Notes
ff any of the items mentioned above are not
included in the shipping box, please contact
your authorizedKrell dealer, distributor, or Krell
for assistance.
Saveall packingmaterials. If youship your Full
PowerBalancedamplifier in the future, repack
the unff in its original packaging
to preventtransit damage.See Return Authorization Procedure, on page21 for moreinformation.
The Full PowerBalancedamplifier requires at
least two inches (5 cm) of clearance on each
side and at least eight inches (20 cm) of clearance above the component to provide adequate ventilation.
Although Sustained Plateau Bias II circuitry
reducesthe high heat dissipation and heat output of traditional Class A circuitry, Full Power
Balancedamplifiers still can becomehot under
normal operation.
Whenthe front and rear of a cabinet are open
the air space betweenthe chassis an~l shelf
mustbe unobstructed. If you place the amplifier in a closed cabinet, you mayneed to modify
shelf spacingor use small fans to increase ventilation. For the dimensionsof your Full Power
Balanced amplifier, see Specifications, on
pages 22-23.
Place the amplifier as close to the speakersas
possible. Krell CASTtechnology permits you to
use interconnect cables of any length, see Flevolutionary
CAST Technology on page 3;
however,try to keepthe cable length to a minimum.
All Full PowerBalancedamplifiers drive the
lowest impedances with ease. Whenimpedance is added due to long speaker cable
lengths, amplifier poweris wastedin the cable.
Long speaker cables reduce the maximum
powerthat is delivered in the speakers.

3. With the preamplifier mutedor volumecontrol completely lowered, select a source.
Increase the volumecontrol to the desired
listeninglevel.
4. Whenturning off the system, mute or completely lower the preamplifier volume, or
place the Full PowerBalancedamplifier in
the stand-by power modeby pressing the
powerbutton on the front panel. It is now
safe to turn off the rest of the system.
Note
For best performanceof Full PowerBalanced
amplifiers, leave the backpanel powerbr~eaker
switch on at all times.
KRELLLINK OPERATION
1. Whenall components are linked, place
each componentin the stand-by modeby
moving the back panel power breaker
switch to the up position. This ensuresthat
all componentswill be synchronized when
signals from the control component
are sent
to the linked components
in the system.
2. Whenthe components are in stand-by,
switch the control componentto the operational modefrom the control component’s
front panel or by using the component’s
remotecontrol.
Thelinked corn ponentsswitch to the operational modesimultaneously.
A linked componentcan be switched between
the operational modeand stand-by, individually, from its front panel. Switchinga linked component temporarily breaks the chain of linked
components.To re-establish linked operation,
return all components
to stand-by.

RemoteControl
Operation
Full PowerBalancedamplifiers are compatible
with the remotecontrols includedwith Krell preamplifiers, the Krell Audio + Video Standard,
the KAV-300r RemoteControl Receiver, the
HomeTheater Standard, and the KPS 25sc
Krell Playback System.
Pleasecontact your authorizedKrell dealer, distributor, or Krell to purchase
a remotecontrol for
Full PowerBalancedamplifiers.
Full PowerBalancedamplifiers can be located
in a roomor spaceclose to the speakersbut out
of sight, and poweredon or off remotely from
the listening room,througha control amplifier.
See Krell Link Connections, on page 13.
HOWTO TURN OFF
THE AMPLIFIER LEDs
The amplifier must be in the stand-by mode
with the rear panel power breaker switch on.
While holding the silver powerbutton in, press
the powerkey on the remotecontrol. After the
amplifier finishes its turn-on sequence,
the front
panel blue LEDsturn off. The blue LEDsremain
off throughout normal operation as long as the
amplifier’s rear panel powerbreaker switch is
not turnedoff.
HOWTO TURN ON
THE AMPLIFIER LEDs
With the amplifier in the stand-by mode,turn
the rear panel powerbreaker switch to the off
position. Thenturn the rear panel powerbreaker switch back to the on position. Thenext time
the amplifier is poweredup from the front panel
or the remotecontrol, the blue LEDsilluminates
during the turn-on sequence.
HOW TO SWITCH BETWEEN
KRELL CAST AND XLR INPUTS
Press the meter key on a Krell remoteto switch
between CASTinputs and the balanced XLR
inputs.
Full PowerBalancedamplifiers default to CA~ST
operationuponstartup, if the amplifier is tumed
off from the rear panel powerbreaker switch and
a CASTsource and cable are connected to the
CASTinputs. The operational modedoes not
changeif the Full PowerBalancedamplifier is in
stand-by mode.
USING A DEDICATEDWALL
OUTLET AND SWITCH
Full PowerBalancedamplifiers can be powered
on from an ACwall receptacle with a dedicated
switch, rather than from the front panel power
button or optional remotecontrol.
Pleasecontact your authorizedKrell dealer, distributor, or Krell for moreinformation beforeyou
connectyour Full PowerBalancedamplifier to a
dedicatedACwall outlet with a switch.

Amplifier Troubleshooting
HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT
SYSTEM NOISE
AC grounding becomescritical
when connecting high performance audio components. When
you mix and match audio components, each
with its ownground potential, a low frequency
hummayoccur in one or both speakers. This
often occurs when introducing a new component into a system.
If a low frequency hum emanates from the
speakers whenyou place the Full Power Balancedamplifier into the system, follow these
simple troubleshooting steps:
Note
During these steps, the back panel power
breaker switch remainsin the on position.
1. Check all input and output connections,
makingsure they are of soundconstruction.
With the amplifier in stand-by mode,remove
the interconnect cables, then press the front
panel powerbutton. If the humdisappears,
press the powerbutton to return to stand-by
mode,and reinsert one of the interconnect
cables. Press the powerbutton again. If the
humreappears with one or both interconnects inserted, there maybe a defective
cable. Havethe interconnect cables checked
before proceeding.
2.
HOWTO EVALUATEAMPLIFIER
OPERATION
Theamplifiers are protected by a series of nonintrusive circuits that constantly evaluate the
amplifier’s operation. This circuitry protects
against damagingDCinput or output and short
circuits, see also DCProtection Circuitry, on
page 14, and monitors regulator operation,
ensuring constant voltage to the output stage.
The protection circuitry in a Full PowerBalancedamplifier is designedto prevent damage
to the amplifiers or speakers causedby other
defective components,faulty wiring, system
mishandling,or amplifier failure.
In addition, whena Full PowerBalancedamplifier’s DCprotection circuitry sensesa problem
within the system,it identifies, then indicatesthe
problem by illuminating the front panel blue
LEDs,as describedin the following table.
Notes
TheKrell CASTLEDilluminates only ff a Krell
CASTinput is being used.
There are no output fuses in Full PowerBalancedamplifiers.
If the interconnect cables are sound, you
maybe experiencing a ground loop. This
can often be easily eliminated. Please contact your authorizedKrell dealer, distributor,
or Krell for suggestionson howto solve this
problem.

Questions and Answers
Q. Should I leave my Full Power Balanced
amplifier on at all times?
A. For maximum
amplifier performance, leave
the back panel powerbreaker switch on at all
times. This places the amplifier in stand-by
mode. Full Power Balanced amplifiers are
designed to be poweredon and off from standby, using the front panel powerbutton. This
eliminates "cold start" degradations.Theamplifier will operateat full performance
within minutes.
Q. When
I turn on the amplifier there is a loud
humthrough the speakers. Whatshould I do?
A. Whena newcomponentis introduced, a low
frequency hummayoccur in one or both speakers. Checkall input and output connectionsand
cables, making sure they are of sound construction. See Howto Troubleshoot System
Noise, on page 17. If the interconnects and
cables are sound, you maybe experiencing a
groundloop. This can often be easily eliminated. Pleasecontact your authorizedKrell dealer,
distributor, or Krell for suggestionson howto
solve this problem.
Q. Mysystemincludes multiple pairs of speakers. CanI connect them to my Full PowerBalanced amplifiers through a speaker selector
box?
A. No. Most speaker selector boxes use a commongroundscheme.Thedifferential circuitry in
Full PowerBalancedamplifiers prohibits the use
of these devices. Do not connecta Full Power
Balanced amplifier to a speaker selector
Krell Full Power

Power
Amplifiers
device that employs a commonground
scheme,as it mayshort-circuit the amplifier
output.
Q, My speakers have only one pair of binding
posts, but my Full Power Balanced stereo
amplifier has two pairs. Whichpair of speaker
binding posts should I use, the upper or the
lower?
A. The upper and lower pair of speaker binding posts on Full PowerBalancedstereo amplifiers are identical. Youcan useeither the upper
or lower pair; they work and sound the same.
See Connecting the Full Power Balanced
Amplifier to YourSystem,on page 13.
Q. My speakers are rated for 150 Watts. Are
the Full PowerBalanced300 or 600 modelstoo
powerful for them?
A. No. A speaker seldom is damaged from
overdriving. More often, damageoccurs when
an amplifier that lacks sufficient poweris asked
to handle heavy demandsituations such as
high playback levels. These amplifiers may
have very high 8 Ohmpower ratings, but in
heavy demandsituations they can be driven
into clipping (in which DCcurrent goes to
speakersdue to loss of amplifier power). Clipping can damagespeakers. Avoid damageto
your speakers by reviewing your speaker’s
specifications and exercise caution in heavy
demandsituations.
