Krell FBI
11
Placement
Before you install the FBI into your system, please review the fol-
lowing guidelines to choose the proper location for the FBI. This
will facilitate a clean, trouble-free installation.
The FBI does not require any type of special rack or cabinet for
installation. For the dimensions of the FBI, see Specifications, on
the back cover.
Place the FBI on a firm, level surface, away from excessive heat,
humidity, or moisture. The FBI requires at least two inches (5 cm)
of clearance on each side and at least eight inches (20 cm) of
clearance above and below the component to provide adequate
ventilation. The ventilation grids on the FBI must be unobstructed.
If the amplifier is placed in a closed cabinet, more than eight inch-
es (20 cm) of clearance may need to be provided above and
below the component, or small fans may be needed to increase
ventilation. The air space between the chassis and shelf must be
unobstructed.
The Fully Balanced Integrated amplifier drives the lowest imped-
ances with ease. When impedance is added due to long speaker
cable lengths, amplifier power is wasted in the cable. Long speak-
er cables reduce the maximum power that is delivered in the
speakers.
The Fully Balanced Integrated amplifier needs to be operated
from a dedicated AC power line rated at a minimum of 20 amps.
Use only the power cord provided with the Fully Balanced
Integrated amplifier to make this connection. Operation with a
power cord other than the one supplied by Krell can induce noise,
limit current, and otherwise impair the amplifier’s ability to perform
optimally. The use of the Fully Balanced Integrated amplifier with
devices designed to alter or stabilize the AC power also may
impair the amplifier’s ability to perform optimally.
