C. BASIC INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 1. Place the KST-100 on a firm level surface away from excessive dirt or moisture. Ideally the amplifier should be placed as close to. the speakers as possible. It is always preferable to run long_ interconnect cables to the amplifier and keep speaker calSle length to.a minimum= Speal~er cable does add an impedance at the output ot the ampli- fier, regardless of the cable’s g.uage. AIIKRELL amplifi- ers wilI drive the lowest impeclanc, es with ease. When imped

D. INPUT AND OUTPUT CONNECTIONS CAUTION: When making connections to this component or any other, make sure the power amplifier is OFF and the preamplifier is in the MUTE or STANDBY mode. 1. Connect the speaker cables .to. the output terminals of the amplifier. Tile KS~T-100 utilizes two sets of parallel 5-w~y binding posts tor the left and right channels. This confi~guration makes cable connections and bi-wiring simple. NOTE: The binding, posts are of the highest quality but will break if over.t

E PROTECTION CIRCUITRY There are no fuses in the KST-100. The amplifier is protected by a series of non-intrusive, opto-c_o, upled circuits that constantly evaluate the amplifier s operation. Appropriate protective action exists for DC conditions, short circuit, oscillation, AC power anomalies, high ground resistance and out-of:phase ground. Collectively the protection circuitry is designed to avoid damage to the amplifier or speal~ers caused by othe.r defective com- ponents, faulty wiring, mish
