Back Panel Description, continued Note Fuses must be replaced with the fuse value specified on the KA V-250a/3 back panel Use a 20 amp slow-blow line fuse for 100/120 V systems or a 12 amp slow-blow line fuse for 220/240 V systems.
Connecting the KAV-250a or KAV-250a/3 Amplifier to Your System INPUT AND OUTPUT CONNECTIONS The following steps describe how to connect cables to the KAV-250a or KAV-250a/3 amplifier. 1. Neatly arrange and organize the wiring to and from the amplifier and all components.
Optional System Configurations The KAV-250a and KAV-250a/3 can be reconfigured for either Multi Amp Throughput (MAT) or bridged operation. IMPORTANT Removing the cover to reconfigure for MA T or for bridged operation is the ONL Y instance you are authorized to remove the cover of ANY Kre// component without voiding your Warranty.

Reconfiguring the KAV-250a for MAT See Figure 5 on page 16 Tools needed: T-15 Torx wrench and one ribbon connection cable 1. Turn the KAV-250a off by pressing the power button (1) on the front panel. The blue power LED (2) extinguishes. Unplug the AC power cord from the IEC power connector (13) on the back panel.
5. Connect one end of the second ribbon connection cable to jumper pin J4 on the center amplifier channel. Connect the other end of this ribbon connection cable to jumper pin J5 on the right amplifier channel. 6. Replace the cover (slide the front panel end in first).
FIGURE 6 RECONFIGURING THE KAV-250a/3 FOR MAT OR BRIDGED OPERATION PC boards showing MAT jumper configuration PC boards showing bridged jumper configuration (See Option 1, on page 21) PC boards showin.
BRIDGED OPERATION The KAV-250a and the KAV-250a/3 can be reconfigured for bridged operation. When the KAV-250a amplifier’s channels are bridged, the amplifier’s output power is quadrupled: the amplifier delivers 1,000 Watts to an 8 Ohm load.
IMPORTANT When operating the amplifier in bridged mode and using an output device with single-ended RCA cables, be sure to remove the shorting pin from the/eft balanced XLR input (4). Reconfiguring the KAV-250a/3 for Bridged Operation See Figure 6 on page 19 Tools needed: T-15 Torx wrench and two ribbon connection cables 1.
2. When the center and right amplifier channels are bridged (Option 2), connect the output cable from the output device to the right balanced XLR (16) or single-ended RCA (19)input. Connect the positive loudspeaker lead (red) to the positive binding post on the (right) amplifier channel (22).
Examples of Connection Scenarios, continued Power Biamplification (Stereo, 2-channel) Power biamplification uses the MAT feature of the KAV-250a to send the same music signal to all amplifier channels using one balanced or single-ended input connection.
Examples of Connection Scenarios, continued Multi Power Mode Multi power mode uses the KAV-250a/3’s MAT feature to independently power multiple pairs of stereo loudspeakers to extend the listening environment throughout your home.
Amplifier Operation ON/OFF AND OPERATION When powering up your system, turn amplifiers on last. When powering down your system, turn amplifiers off first. The procedures for amplifier operation follow. 1. Press the KAV-250a power button (1) or KAV-250a/3 power button (14) on amplifier’s front panel.
Amplifier Troubleshooting HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT SYSTEM NOISE 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 often occurs when introducing a new component into a system.
Question and Answer Q. Should I leave the KAV-250a or KAV-250a/3 amplifier on at all times? A. No. These amplifiers do not have a stand-by mode. Leaving them on at all times would result in considerable heat output and power consumption. For best results, turn the amplifier off when not in use, and allow a five minute warm-up after it is turned on.
Warranty The KAV-250a and KAV-250a/3 amplifiers have. a limited and transferable warranty of five years for parts and labor on cimuitry. Should this product fail to perform at any time during the warranty, Krell will repair it at no cost to the owner, except as set forth in this warranty.
Return Authorization Procedure If you believe there is a problem with your component, please contact your dealer, dis- tributor, or the Krell factory to discuss the problem before you return the component for repair.
