2.2 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 4Ω 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 adapter

The 900xl is housed in a Kramer TOOLS enclosure.

To achieve the best performance:

•Use only good quality connection cables1

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

coils

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

To connect the 900xl, as illustrated in Figure 3, perform the following:

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

line out) to the IN 1 mini jack connector.

2. Connect an unbalanced stereo audio source (for example, an unbalanced

stereo audio player) to the LEFT and RIGHT IN 2 RCA connectors.

3. Connect the SPKR OUT terminal block to a pair of loudspeakers:

Connect the “L+” and the “L-” terminal block connectors to the left

loudspeaker, and the “R+” and the “R-” terminal block connectors to the

right loudspeaker. Do not ground the loudspeakers.

4. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the

adapter to the mains electricity (not shown in Figure 3).

Operating the 900xl Power Amplifier

5.1 Connecting a PC

You can control the 900xl with a PC (or other controllers) via the RS-232

port using serial commands.

To connect a PC to the 900xl:

•Connect the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port on your PC to the RS-232

rear panel port on the Master 900xl using a cable as shown in

Figure 4:

Figure 4: RS-232 Control Cable

6 Operating the 900xl Power Amplifier

You can operate your 900xl using:

•The front panel buttons

•RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a PC, touch screen

system, or other serial controller

6.1 Using the Front Panel Buttons

To operate the 900xl using the front panel buttons:

•To choose audio input source 1 (the PC line-out as shown in

Figure 3), press INPUT 1 button.

•To choose audio input source 2 (a stereo tape), press INPUT 2

button.

Adjust the output volume to the speakers using the VOLUME + and –

buttons.

Note: In the case of output distortion that cannot be corrected using the
