Papa Dock.
The Papa Dock is engineered to drive
virtually any loudspeaker to realistic listening levels.
The amplifier has a proprietary connection for the
KID, enabling all KID output functions to route
through the Papa Dock back panel. It features a sub-
stantial 450 W, 40,000 microfarad power supply. Left
and right channels incorporate discrete, direct cou-
pled topology, 12 high current output devices, and
terminate in WBT loudspeaker connectors.
Thank you for your purchase of the KID, the Krell
Interface Dock, and/or the Papa Dock. The KID can
be operated alone, or docked in the optional Papa
Dock, a dedicated 150 W power amplifier designed
specifically by Krell for use with the KID.
KID.
The KID is designed to deliver maximum sonic
performance from an iPod-device, and is the first
product of its kind to utilize the fully differential out-
put of the internal DAC for iPod-devices.
Additional features include opto-isolated digital con-
nections between the iPod-device and the KID, and
balanced differential Class A circuitry. Ultra low
noise volume control, with digitally-controlled analog
bass and treble controls fine tune your listening ex-
perience. A full-function remote control makes oper-
ation flexible. Balanced and single-ended outputs,
composite and S-Video outputs, and an RS-232
control allow for a variety of connection options.
