Getting Started

2.1 Quick Start

This quick start chart summarizes the basic setup and operation steps.

Overview

3 Overview

The Kramer 900xl is a high-performance power amplifier for line-level

stereo audio signals. It accepts either a stereo audio signal on an RCA

connector or a stereo audio signal on a 3.5mm mini jack. It delivers a

speaker output of 10 watts RMS per channel into a 4-ohm load on a 10A

4-pin terminal block connector.

The 900xl includes:

Input selector buttons

Audio gain buttons for volume control

Overheating warning protection with LED indicator

A 12V DC power source

The 900xl is housed in a Kramer TOOLS enclosure.

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 900xl away from moisture, excessive

sunlight and dust

Caution – No operator-serviceable parts inside unit.

Warning – Use only the Kramer Electronics input power

wall adapter that is provided with this unit

Warning – Disconnect power and unplug unit from wall

before installing or removing device or servicing unit.
