914 - 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/support/product_downloads.asp

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 (we recommend Kramer high-

performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in

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

associated with low quality cables)

Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

Position your Kramer 914 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be

connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

914 - Overview

3 Overview

The Kramer 914 is a high performance power amplifier that accepts a balanced

stereo audio input on a 5-pin terminal block and converts the signal into a

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

The 914 Power Amplifier features:

Input level sensitivity adjustment

10K Remote control

Stereo and bridged mono modes

Left and right channel monitoring LEDs

The 914 Power Amplifier is housed in a Kramer 1/2U enclosure.

3.1 Energy Star

The 914 Power Amplifier meets the ENERGY STAR audio specification and draws

less than 1 watt while in standby mode; it offers a sleep mode, auto power-down,

and meets the specified efficiency requirements.

To comply with the Energy Star requirements the 914 provides the following

operational modes:

1. On Mode—Where the 914 is connected to a mains power source, has been

activated and is capable of providing amplification. The common terms

“active”, “in-use” and “normal operation” also describe this mode.

Active State—A state within On Mode in which the 914 provides

amplification

Standby State—A state within On Mode in which the 914 does not

provide amplification

914 - Overview

2. Standby Mode—where the 914 is connected to a mains power source, is

incapable of providing amplification, and offers the following user oriented or

protective functions:

It facilitates the activation of other modes (including activation of On

Mode) by a remote switch (including remote, contact-closure switches),

and timer

The front panel’s information LEDs continuously display the status of the

device

The sensor-based functions function continuously. For purposes of this

specification, Sleep Mode is defined as the time when the product is

connected to a power source, does not produce sound, and is waiting to

be switched to On Mode by a direct or indirect signal

3. Off Mode—where the product is connected to a mains power source, is not

providing amplification, and cannot be switched into any other mode except

by user actuation of a manual power switch.

5 Connecting the 914

This chapter comprises the following sections:

Connecting the 914 (see Section 5.1)

Connecting the remote controls (see Section 5.2)

Connecting the speakers (see Section 5.3)

5.1 Connecting the 914

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

914. After connecting your 914, connect its power and then switch on

the power to each device.

To connect the 914 as illustrated in the example in Figure 3:

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

player) to the INPUT 5-pin terminal block (see Section 5.4).

2. Connect the Speaker Out 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 (in stereo mode). For bridged mono mode, see Section 5.3.

Note: Do not ground the speakers.

3. Optional—Connect the GND, LEVEL and V+ pins on the 10V CONTROL

terminal block connector to a remote 10kΩ volume control.

4. Optional—Connect the Standby and Mute pins to remote control switches

(see Section 5.2).

5. Connect the supplied power cord to the 914 power socket and to the mains

electricity (not shown in Figure 3).

6. Adjust the volume using the Level control on the rear panel.
