Sonnet Kratos, Руководство пользователя, Страница: 2 / 11

Introduction
Dear Customer,
Our Kratos power amplifier is designed for use in conjunction with our digital preamp Morpheus or Pasithea. However based on normal
standards as used in hifi the Kratos can be used with almost any analog or digital pre amplifier. Both RCA or XLR inputs are selectable on the
bottom side of the unit.
The front end of the Kratos is not based on classic differential circuits (having too much gain) but based on class A tube simulated circuitry
running on the same high voltage (200V) as tubes normally doing. As a result the circuit has very high bandwidth and very low distortion without
any feedback. Just a little feedback is used to give this amp the right amplification and damping factor. As a result the Kratos sounds as a hybrid
without the disadvantages like aging as normal tubes will have over time.
As a lot of power is available your loudspeakers are protected against any form of malfunction and will be disconnected immediately in such
cases.
The inputs of the Kratos can be switched between balanced or single ended by a switch situated at the bottom of the unit. Next the Kratos can
be controlled by our Morpheus or Pasithea dac by using a so called remote cable. This remote option is not available in case that the Kratos is
used in conjunction with other brands. In such case the Kratos can be switched to “music sense”. If using “music sense” the Kratos will detect
any incoming signals above a certain level and will be switched on for at least for 30 minutes. After this period ( when no signals are coming in)
the Kratos will switch back into standby mode.
Remark
The Kratos will reach its maximum performance after a two weeks of regularly use
!
You’re sincerely
