Getting Started
Thank you for your purchase of a Krell K-300i
component.
The K-300i Integrated Amplifier can be equipped
with or without the Optional Digital Module that is
used in the K-300i Integrated Amplifier w/Digital
model. This manual covers both K-300i models
and notes differences where appropriate.
Both K-300i models feature discrete signal paths
from input to output and employ a wide bandwidth
design with low negative feedback for sonic
accuracy throughout the frequency spectrum. All
circuits up to the driver stage operate in pure
Class A.
Krell’s surface mount technology (SMT) means that K-300i components employ the most
sophisticated circuit designs possible without requiring the typical space. SMT allows individual
circuit elements to be placed very close together. This shortens signal paths and allows circuit
elements to operate at the same temperature, resulting in more accurate signal transfer and
enhanced reliability. This combination of sophisticated circuitry and small space makes it possible to
design and manufacture a very high powered 150W per channel amplifier in a small enclosure. The
K-300i is easy to operate and integrate into your system. The remote control accesses all functions,
and remote control connection options allow the K-300i to be easily connected with other
components.
The Theater Throughput feature provides easy integration of these models into a home theater
system.
The optional digital module for the K-300i Integrated Amplifier adds a full range of digital technologies
and connections that are already included in the K-300i Integrated Amplifier w/Digital model.
WARNING: Do not place the component where it could be exposed to dirt or excessive moisture. The
ventilation grids on the top and bottom of the K-300i must be unobstructed at all times. Do not
place flammable material on top of or beneath the unit. When making connections to this or any
other model, make sure all components are off. Turn off all system power before connecting the K-
300i to any other component. Make sure all cable and speaker wire terminations are of the highest
quality, free from frayed ends, short circuits or cold solder joints.
This product complies with the EMC
directive (89/336/EEC) and the low-
voltage directive (73/23/EEC). This
CLASS 1 apparatus must be
connected to an AC MAIN socket
outlet with a protective earthen
connection.
