K-Series Balanced Current Amplifier™
Output Connectors: Two sets of color-coded binding posts
for banana plugs, spade lugs or bare wire (European models
are fruit-phobic and do not accept banana plugs).
DC Output Offset: ±10 millivolts.
Output Signal
Stereo: Unbalanced, two-channel.
Bridge-Mono: Balanced, single-channel. Channel 1 controls
are active; Channel 2 should be turned down.
Protection, Dont leave home without it!
K-Series amplifiers are protected against shorted, open or mis-
matched loads; overloaded power supplies; excessive tem-
perature, chain destruction phenomena, input overload
damage and high-frequency blowups. They also protect loud-
speakers from input/output DC, DC offset and turn-on/turn-off
transients.
TLC protection circuitry protects the amplifier from excessive
heat by subtly and dynamically reducing the gain only when
necessary to reduce heat levels. Transformer overheating (an
extremely unlikely event) will result in a temporary shutdown;
when it has cooled to a safe temperature, the transformer will
automatically reset itself. Controlled slew rate voltage amplifi-
ers prevent RF burnouts, and input overload protection is pro-
vided by the input current limit.
Out-of-band low-pass and high-pass filter protect the ampli-
fier and loads from subsonic frequencies below 8 Hz and ul-
trasonic frequencies above 30 kHz.
Turn On: State-of-the-art “soft start” feature prevents the am-
plifier from drawing a large inrush current when it is first turned
on and no dangerous artifacts are produced by the amplifier.
(However it is recommended that all equipment ahead of the
amplifier be turned on first since they may produce turn-on
transients.)
