2 912 - Getting Started

2 Getting Started

We recommend that you:

•Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging

materials for possible future shipment

•Review the contents of this user manual

Use Kramer high performance high resolution cables.

Use only the power cord that is supplied with this machine.

Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com to check for up-to-date

user manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware

upgrades are available (where appropriate).

2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

•Use only good quality connection cables to avoid interference, deterioration

in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often

associated with low quality cables)

•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

•Position your Kramer 912 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

912 - Overview 3

3 Overview

The Kramer 912 is a high performance power amplifier that can accept a balanced

stereo audio input on a 5-pin terminal block, and an unbalanced stereo audio input

on two RCA connectors.

Both inputs can be connected simultaneously.

The balanced and unbalanced stereo audio inputs are converted to a differential

stereo audio output for speakers on a 4-pin terminal block.

The 912 Power Amplifier features:

•An audio level knob to adjust the volume

•The ability to control the volume remotely using a remote 10V volume control

•Mixing of the unbalanced and balanced inputs

•An ON LED indicating that the unit is receiving power

•A 12V power source making it ideal for field operation

•Easy-to-connect, detachable terminal blocks

The 912 Power Amplifier is housed in a Kramer TOOLS enclosure.

# Feature Function

1 CONTROL Button Press in for remote volume control using the 10V

Control connection, release to control the volume

using the front panel Volume knob (see item 2).

Warning: When a remote volume control is

connected, switching between the volume controls

may cause a sudden, large volume level change

2 VOLUME Control Knob Turn clockwise to increase the volume,

anticlockwise to decrease the volume

3 OVER LED Lights red when the amplifier overheats

Overheating causes the amplifier to automatically

reduce power to protect the unit from damage. Once

the unit cools down, full power is restored

4 ON LED Lights green when the unit receives power

4 Connecting the 912

This section explains how to connect and operate your 912.

Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your

912. After connecting your 912, connect its power and then switch on

the power to each device.

To connect the 912, as illustrated in the example in Figure 2:

1. Connect the unbalanced stereo audio source (for example, a stereo audio

player) to the LEFT and RIGHT IN 1 RCA connectors.

Or alternatively, connect the balanced stereo audio source to the GND, left (L+ L-) and

right (R+ R-) input terminal block

2. Connect the OUT speaker terminal block to a pair of speakers. Connect the

left speaker to the L+ and L- pins, and the right speaker to the R+ and R-

pins.

Note: Do not ground the speakers.

3. Optional—Connect the G, 2 and V+ pins on the 10V CONTROL terminal

block connector to a remote 10V volume control.

4. Select the volume control method using the CONTROL button on the front

panel. Press CONTROL (10V position) to select the remote 10V volume

control.

5. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the 912 power socket and to the

mains electricity (not shown in Figure 2).

6. Adjust the volume using the method selected in Step 4.
