EXAMPLE OF A CONNECTION SCENARIO: MULTI-POWER MODE
Multi-power mode is a possible connection scenario that uses the amplifier’s Multi Amp
Throughput (MAT) feature. With multi-power mode, you can reconfigure the amplifier to
independently power multiple pairs of stereo loudspeakers and extend the listening envi-
ronment throughout your home. When the amplifier is reconfigured for MAT, each channel
powers an individual loudspeaker, with one amplifier dedicated to driving outputs to the left
loudspeakers and one amplifier driving outputs to the right loudspeakers.
The diagram below illustrates a multi-power mode connection scenario:

OPERATION
Off
When the back panel power switch is in the down (off) position and the red stand-by
LED turns off, the component is off.
Stand-by Mode
When the AC power cord is plugged into the wall and the back panel power switch is in
the up (on) position, the red stand-by LED illuminates, indicating that the component is
in stand-by mode. This low power consumption status keeps the audio and regulator
circuits at idle. Krell recommends leaving 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
blue power indicator illuminates, the component is in the operational mode and ready to
play music.
TECHNOLOGY
Krell Current Mode
A proprietary Krell circuit topology in which the audio gain stages of a component
operate in the current rather than voltage domain. This unique technology provides the
component with exceptional speed and a wide bandwidth.
