Operating the Standard KPE
10
Krell KPE
The Standard KPE is designed to use either a moving coil or moving
magnet phono cartridge. The Standard KPE comes factory set in the
high-gain, moving coil position with a 100 Ohm load impedance set-
ting.
Always put your preamplifier in the mute or stand-by position before
changing gain or loading settings on the Standard KPE.
If it is necessary to change the gain or cartridge loading, follow these
steps:
1. Remove the four topcover screws with the supplied Allen wrench.
2. Carefully lift the cover from the Standard KPE. You will notice
three switches on the main circuit board. The two switches locat-
ed at the back of the circuit board labeled LOADING are for car-
tridge loading. The switch bank in the middle of the circuit board
labeled MM (moving magnet) and MC (moving coil) is for phono
gain.
3. Select the type of phono cartridge you are going to use.
4. Use the C2 and C4 (MC) positions on the MMMC switch bank.
Depress the rocker switch in the direction of the label.
or
Use the C1 and C3 (MM) positions on the MMMC switch bank.
Depress the rocker switch in the direction of the label.
5. Select the phono cartridge loading that is closest to your cartridge
requirements for both channels. Depress the loading switch
which corresponds to the load setting desired.
