A Letter fr om Dan D’Agostino Dear Audio Enthusiast, Thank you for your purchase of a Kr ell Evolution Series amplifier . Evolution Series amplifiers continue my quest for amplifiers that deliver absolute truth in music repr oduction.
6 SECTION ONE Evolution Amplifier Featur es and T echnology This section describes the innovative features and technology of the Evolution Series amplifiers, and defines CAST and other key terms used in this refer ence.
7 Revolutionary Kr ell CAST T echnology Current Audio Signal T ransmission, termed CAST , is a r evolutionary method of connecting analog audio components for unparalleled sonic performance.
8 Krell Curr ent Mode maintains the integrity of the signal within the component and CAST preserves the transmitted signal between components. T ogether , CAST and Krell Curr ent Mode technologies unify separate Krell components into a single global circuit.
9 Definition of T erms The following are definitions of key terms used in this owner’ s refer ence: Inputs and Outputs Balanced A symmetrical input or output circuit that has equal impedance fr om both input terminals to a common ground r eference point.
10 T echnology Active Cascode T opology A unique circuit technique that minimizes distortion by applying fr om 2 to 3 times more active devices to each gain stage ther eby reducing the load on individual devices and improving cir cuit-wide linearity .
11 Unpacking and Placement This section describes the procedur es for safely unpacking and placing your Evolution amplifier . The amplifier and accessories are shipped in 1 carton. The dimensions of the amplifier are shown in the specifications section starting on page 31.
12 Placement Before you install an Evolution amplifier into your system, please follow the guide- lines in this section to select a location for your component. This will facilitate a clean, trouble-fr ee installation. Place the amplifier on a firm, level surface, away from excessive heat, humidity , or moisture.
13 SECTION THREE Anatomy of an Evolution Amplifier This section describes Evolution amplifier functions. Figure 1 Evolution Amplifier Front Panel ( Evolution 402 shown ) 1 Power Button 2 Power Status .

20 Back Panel Description See Figures 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 on the previous pages The amplifier back panel provides access to the input and output connections, 12 V trigger inputs and outputs, and the AC power connection and switch.
21 Remote Connections 7 12 VDC In/Out (12 V T rigger) The 12 V trigger allows you to turn the Evolution amplifier on or to stand-by from other components.
22 SECTION FOUR Connecting an Evolution Amplifier to Y our System This section describes Evolution amplifier connections. Each Evolution amplifier channel has a CAST 4-pin connector , a balanced input via an XLR connector , a single-ended RCA connector , and a pair of loudspeaker binding posts.
23 Evolution DC Pr otection Circuitry/Using T ube Pr eamplifiers The high DC output of tube preamplifiers may exceed the active DC pr otection circuitry of the Evolution amplifiers. Excessive DC level in a signal can damage amplifiers, loudspeakers, or both.
24 Evolution Amplifier Operation The Evolution amplifiers are easy to operate. IMPORT ANT When powering up any system, turn the amplifier on last. When powering down, turn it off first. This will prevent any turn-on and turn-off thumps in your loudspeakers.
25 T r oubleshooting System Noise AC grounding becomes critical when connecting high-performance audio compo- nents. When you mix and match high-performance audio components, each with its own ground potential, a low fr equency hum may occur in one or both loud- speakers.
26 Err or Codes In the event of a problem, the power status indicator (2) will flash err or code(s) in red. Err ors are identified by a sequence of 3, 4, or 5 flashes. Ther e is a pause between codes, and in the case where ther e is only one error code, the same code is repeated.
27 Questions and Answers Q. Should I leave my Evolution amplifier on at all times? A. For maximum amplifier performance, leave the back panel power breaker switch on at all times. This places the amplifier in stand-by mode. Evolution amplifiers are designed to be power ed on and off fr om stand-by , using the front panel power button.
