OWNERS'
MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
Thank
you
for
your
purchase
of
a
new
KRELL
preamplifier.
This
Owners'
Manual
covers
both
the
KBL
and
KPA
preamplifiers,
as
they
have
been
designed
to
be
companion
pieces
and
can
be
utilized
in
varying
combinations.
For
each
user
there
will
be
information
that
does
not
pertain
to
their
specific
situation.
Therefore,
in
the
interest
of
clarity,
details
relating
to
different
combinations
are
presented
in
well-defined
sections.
The
KBL
and
KPA
represent
significant
departures
from
traditional
preamplifier
design.
The
time
invested
in
carefully
reading
this
manual
will
yield
an
important
understanding
of
the
functions
and
design
features
of
the
units.
Due
to
the
high
level
of
performance
of
which
these
units
are
capable,
careful
placement
and
installation
are
crucial.
Your
thorough
understanding
of
the
operations
of
the
KBL
and
KPA
will
help
insure
their
maximum
performance
and
long
life.

GENERAL
INFORMATION
The
KRELL
KBL
(Krell
Balanced
Line)
and
KPA
(Krell
Phono
Amplifier)
present
many
new
concepts
in
preamplifier
design.
The
traditional
preamplifier
contains
both
a
phono
section
and
a
line
section.
The
KBL
and
KPA
divide
these
functions
into
two
separate
units.
This
was
done
for
several
reasons.
The
primary
motivation
was
to
allow
adequate
space
to
accommodate
the
latest
evolutions
of
preamplifier
circuitry
and
functions.
