Introduction

6Krell S–1500 Multi-channel Amplifier
Following are the definitions of key terms used in this owner’s ref-
erence.
Balanced
Asymmetrical input or output circuit that has equal impedance
from both input terminals to a common ground reference point.
The industry standard for professional and sound recording instal-
lations, balanced connections have 6 dB more gain than single-
ended connections, and allow the use of long interconnect cables.
Balanced connections are less susceptible than single-ended con-
nections to induced noise from the system or the environment.
Single-ended
Atwo-wire input or output circuit. Use care when using single-
ended connections as the ground connection is made last and
broken first. Turn the system off prior to making or breaking single-
ended connections. Single-ended connections arenot recom-
mended for connections requiring long cable runs.
Off
When the AC power cordis not plugged into the wall, the front
panel LED is not illuminated and the component is off.
Stand-by Mode
When the AC power cord is plugged into the wall, the front panel
stand-by and power LED (2) illuminates red, indicating that the
component is in the stand-by mode. This low power consumption
status keeps the audio and circuits at idle. Krell recommends leav-
ing the component in the stand-by mode when it is not playing
music.
Operational Mode
From the stand-by mode, when the power button on the front
panel is pressed and the front panel stand-by and power LED (2)
illuminates blue, the component is in the operational mode and
ready to play music.
Krell Current Mode
Aproprietary Krell circuit topology in which the audio gain stages
of a component operate in the current domain, rather than the
voltage domain. This unique technology provides the component
with exceptional speed and a wide bandwidth.

IMPORTANT
NotesNotes

8Krell S–1500 Multi-channel Amplifier
Before you integrate the S–1500 Multi-channel Amplifier into your
system, review the following guidelines to choose the location for
the component. This will facilitate a clean, trouble-free installation.
The S–1500 amplifier requires at least two inches (5 cm) of clear-
ance on each side, and at least two inches (5 cm) of clearance
above and below the component to provide adequate ventilation.
The S–1500 amplifier does not require any type of special rack or
cabinet for installation. For the dimensions of your amplifier see
Specifications, on page 21.
Place the amplifier as close to the loudspeakers as possible and
keep the loudspeaker cable length to a minimum. Loudspeaker
cable adds impedance to the load that the amplifier must drive,
regardless of the cable’s gauge. Krell amplifiers drive the lowest
impedances with ease, but long loudspeaker cables reduce the
maximum power that is delivered to the loudspeakers.
Krell recommends operating the S –1500 amplifier from a dedicat-
ed 15-amp AC power line. Please contact your Krell dealer,distrib-
utor,or Krell beforeusing any devices designed to alter or stabilize
the AC power for the S–1500.

Connecting the S–1500 Amplifier to Your System
The S–1500 Multi-channel Amplifier is equipped with balanced
and single-ended inputs.
Krell recommends using balanced interconnect cables. Balanced
interconnect cables not only 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. When level matching is critical, please keep
this gain value in mind.
The S–1500 amplifier is shipped with shorting pins in the XLR
inputs. These pins should remain in the XLR inputs if the amplifier
is operating in the single-ended mode. When the shorting pin is
inserted, pins 1 (lower left) and 3 (top) are shorted together.
Remove the shorting pins to connect the amplifier for balanced
operation.
The XLR pin configuration is described below:
Pin 1 Shield (ground)
Pin 2 Non-inverting (hot) (0°)
Pin 3 Inverting (cold) (180°)
Follow these steps to connect the S–1500 amplifier to your sys-
tem.
1. Make sure all power sources and components are off before
connecting inputs and outputs.
2. Neatly organize the wiring between the amplifier and all system
components. Separate AC wires from audio cables to prevent
hum or other unwanted noise from being introduced into the
system.
3. Connect the interconnect cables from your output device to
the amplifier inputs using the balanced (3) or single-ended (4)
inputs located on the back panel. The balanced inputs use
three-pin XLR connectors; the single-ended inputs use RCA
connectors. The S–1500 / 5 uses only inputs 1 through 5 and
the S–1500 / 6 uses inputs 1 through 6.
Use only one input to each amplifier channel at a time. You may use
the balanced inputs for some of the amplifier channels and the sin-
gle-ended inputs for the remaining channels.

Operating the S–1500 Amplifier
When powering up your system, turn the amplifiers on last. When
powering down your system, turn amplifiers off first. The proce-
dures for operating the S–1500 Multi-channel Amplifier follow.
1. Plug the AC power cord into the amplifier’s IEC connector (8).
2. Plug the other end of the AC power cord into the AC wall outlet.
3. The LED (2) illuminates red to indicate it is in stand-by mode.
When the amplifier is first plugged in, there is a brief delay before
it can be put in the operational mode. Please wait approximately
10 seconds.
If the LED flashes red when the amplifier is in the stand-by mode,
unplug the amplifier from the AC wall outlet to reset the protection
circuitry. Check the loudspeakers and loudspeaker cables for
potential short circuits before plugging the amplifier back into the
wall outlet.
4. Press the power button (1) on the front panel. The LED (2)
illuminates blue and you will hear a click. The amplifier is in
the operational mode.
Krell recommends leaving the S –1500 amplifier in the stand-by
mode unless you will not be playing music for a long time.
Always turn the amplifier off before changing inputs, and mute or
fully attenuate the preamplifier level when switching sources.
The S–1500 amplifier has tremendous reserves of power, and safe-
ly drives loudspeakers to extremely high sound pressure levels.
However, use care when setting high playback levels and lower the
volume level at any sign of loudspeaker distress.

Troubleshooting System Noise
When you mix and match high-performance audio components,
each with its own ground potential, a low frequency hum may
occur in one or all loudspeakers. If this happens when you place
the S–1500 Multi-channel Amplifier into your system, follow these
simple troubleshooting steps:
1. Check that all input and output connections are of sound
construction.
2. With the amplifier off, remove all the interconnect cables, then
turn the amplifier on. If the hum disappears, turn the amplifier
off and reinsert one of the interconnect cables. Turn the
amplifier back on.
3. If the hum reappears with the interconnect cable reinserted,
the cable may need to be replaced. Turn the amplifier off and
connect a different interconnect cable to the same location.
Turn the amplifier back on.
4. If the hum disappears with the interconnect cable reinserted,
that cable most likely is sound.
5. Turnthe amplifier off, disconnect the interconnect cable, and
re-connect one of the other interconnect cables.
6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 until you have checked each inter-
connect cable.
7. If all the interconnect cables appear to be sound, and you still
have hum, you may be experiencing a ground loop. Please
contact your authorized Krell dealer,distributor,or Krell for sug-
gestions on how to eliminate the hum.

Questions and Answers
Q. Should I turn the S –1500 amplifier off (unplug the amplifier)
when not playing music?
A. No. Leave the S–1500 amplifier in the stand-by mode when
not playing music. The stand-by mode avoids cold starts as
well as minimizes heat output and power consumption. Turn
the amplifier off if you plan to be away for a period of time, for
example, on vacation. See Operating the S–1500 Amplifier,
on page 15.
Q. When I turn the amplifier on there is a loud hum through the
loudspeakers. What should I do?
A. When a new component is introduced, a low frequency hum
may occur in one or both loudspeakers. Check that all input and
output connections and cables are of sound construction. See
Troubleshooting System Noise, on page 16. If the connections
and cables aresound, you may be experiencing a ground loop.
This can often be easily eliminated. Please contact your autho-
rized Krell dealer, distributor, or Krell for suggestions.
Q. When I connect the amplifier to my system using the single-ended
inputs, a loud buzz comes from my loudspeakers. What is it?
A. Check that the shorting pins for the S–1500 amplifier are
inserted into the XLR inputs (the unit is shipped with the pins in
place). When using the single-ended inputs, shorting pins must
be inserted between pins 1 and 3 to keep external noise from
corrupting the signal. For moreinformation, see Connecting
the S–1500 Amplifier to Your System, on page 13.
Q. Icannot turn the amplifier on. Why not?
A. Make surethe front panel LED is not flashing red. If it is flash-
ing red, unplug the amplifier from the AC wall receptacle and
then plug it back into the AC wall receptacle. If the LED contin-
ues to flash, contact your Krell-authorized dealer or distributor,
or Krell. If the LED is not illuminated, check the power cordand
check the AC mains fuse. To remove the fuse, unplug the
power cord from the amplifier and slide out the fuseholder.
Q. Iget no signal from one of the amplifier channels when the unit
is on. Why not?
A. Make sureyou arenot connected to channels 6 or 7 on a
S–1500 / 5, or to channel 7 on a S–1500 / 6. If you are using
the single-ended input, make sure the shorting pin is inserted
between pins 1 and 3, and not between pins 2 and 3.
Note
When the amplifier is first plug-
ged in, thereis a brief delay
before it can be put into the
operational mode. Please wait
approximately 10 seconds.
