Getting Started
WARNINGS
This product complies with the EMC directive
(89/336/EEC) and the low-voltage directive
(73/23/EEC).This CLASS 1 apparatus must be
connected to anAC MAIN socket outlet with a
protective earthing connection
Thank you for your purchase of a Krell
Vanguard component. The Vanguard Family
includes the Vanguard Universal DAC w/Digital
Preamp Option (DAC), the Digital Vanguard
Integrated Amplier (DVI) and the Vanguard
Integrated Amplier (VIA).
This manual covers all three Vanguard models
and notes differences where appropriate.
The Vanguard Integrated Amplier can be equipped
with or without the Optional Digital Module that is
used in the Vanguard Universal DAC and Digital
Vanguard Integrated Amplifier.
All Vanguard models feature discrete signal paths
from input to output and employ a wide bandwidth
design with low negative feedback for sonic accuracy
throughout the frequency spectrum. All circuits up to
the driver stage operate in pure Class A.
Krell’s surface mount technology (SMT) means that
Vanguard components employ the most sophisticated
circuit designs possible without requiring the typical
space. SMT allows individual circuit elements to be
placed very close together. This shortens signal paths
and allows circuit elements to operate at the same
temperature, resulting in more accurate signal transfer
and enhanced reliability. This combination of sophis-
ticated circuitry and small space makes it possible to
design and manufacture a very high powered 200W
per channel amplier in a small enclosure. The Van-
guard is easy to operate and integrate into your
system. The remote control accesses all functions, and
remote control connection options allow the Vanguard
to be easily connected with other components.
The Theater Throughput (Digital Vanguard
Integrated Amplifier and Vanguard Integrated
Amplier) feature provides easy integration of these
models into a home theater system.
The optional digital module (Vanguard Integrated
Amplier) adds a full range of digital technologies
and connections that are already included in the
Vanguard Universal DAC and Digital Vanguard
Integrated Amplier.
WARNING: Do not place the component where it
could be exposed to dirt or excessive moisture. The
ventilation grids on the top and bottom of the
Vanguard must be unobstructed at all times. Do not
place ammable material on top of or beneath the
unit. When making connections to this or any other
model, make sure all components are off. Turn off all
system power before connecting the Vanguard to any
other component. Make sure all cable and speaker
wire terminations are of the highest quality, free from
frayed ends, short circuits or cold solder joints.

Unpacking / Placement / AC Power Guidlines
4
Open the shipping box and remove the top layer of
foam. You will see these items:
1. Vanguard unit and Accessories - Included
A. 1 AC power cord
B. 1 handheld remote control
C. 2 AAA batteries
D. 1 CD w/ owner’s reference
E. 1 warranty registration card
F. 1 trigger cable
G. 1 T-10 Torx Screwdriver
2. Carefully remove all items from the shipping box.
3. Place the preamplier and power supply in a safe
location and remove the protective plastic wrapping.
Place the Vanguard on a rm, level surface, away
from excessive heat, humidity, or moisture. The
Vanguard is a precision instrument and should be
handled with the utmost care when deciding where
it is to be placed and while it is being unpacked and
nally installed. Make sure the installation location
is dry and level, and able to provide adequate ven-
tilation. The Vanguard runs warm to the touch and
requires the bottom and top of the unit be free from
obstruction with good circulation of air. Allow a
minimum of 2 inches (5cm) above the unit for proper
ventilation, and at least one inch (2.54 cm) on each
side. Additional ventilation may be required when
the unit occupies the same space with other electron-
ics that generate heat, like power ampliers. Please
consult an authorized KRELL dealer or KRELL
Industries to insure proper installation guidelines.
The Vanguard is designed to work all over the world.
The operating voltage is determined at the factory and
is specically set to operate in the country of nal
destination. The Vanguard requires good clean power
and doesn’t require additional ltration. A 15 Amp
circuit is recommended for the Vanguard.
Note:
The Vanguard may not operate correctly when AC
regeneration or voltage conversion devices are
utilized, but at a minimum, they must be rated for the
maximum power consumption of the Vanguard.
Note:
Save all packing materials; if you need to ship the
Vanguard in the future, repack the unit in its original
packaging to prevent shipping damage.
Recommended Cleaning Instructions for Krell Products
Clean your Krell product gently, using a high quality
lint-free cloth that has not been treated with chemicals
of any kind.
Please note the following: Do not use cleaning agents
of any kind, such as water, alcohol, or other common
cleaning products.
Thank you.
