For this reason, I have made every effort to include the best technology in the design of this new Krell product. At the heart of the Evolution 505 are separate, linear power supplies that insure perfect operating conditions for the drive mechanism and audio circuits. Discrete, Class A gain stages are balanced and are utilized from input to output. - Page 6 DCI drive with independent suspension for enhanced ergonomics and reliability. The Evolution 505 will read redbook, CDR, 44.1 WAV, AAC (adts, and adif), DVD- R, RW, +R, and RW discs. The 16 character, dot-matrix LED display is highly visi- ble and features an adjustable intensity.

Page 7: Revolutionary Krell Cast Technology
Revolutionary Krell CAST Technology Current Audio Signal Transmission, termed CAST, is a revolutionary method of connecting analog audio components for unparalleled sonic performance. Innovative engineering combines the new Krell CAST circuitry with existing Krell Current Mode technology to create entire CAST systems that reproduce music with incredible range, tonality, and precision. -
Page 8: Section One: Evolution 505 Features And Technology
CAST cable made. Evolution CAST By employing radical current mirror circuitry, the Evolution 505 components ele- vate the CAST technology to another level. This advanced use of the technology increases the linearity, transient speed, and bandwidth of the Evolution compo- nents while reducing the distortion by an order of magnitude. -
Page 9: Definition Of Terms
Definition of Terms The following are definitions of key terms used in this owner’s reference: Inputs and Outputs Balanced A symmetrical input or output circuit that has equal impedance from both input terminals to a common ground reference point. The industry standard for profes- sional and sound recording installations, balanced connections have 6 dB more gain than single-ended connections and allow the use of long interconnect cables. - Page 10 (SECTION ONE: Evolution 505 Features and Technology continued) Technology Krell Current Mode A proprietary Krell circuit topology in which the audio gain stages of a component operate in the current rather than the voltage domain. This unique technology pro- vides the component with exceptional speed and a wide bandwidth.

If any of these items are not included in the shipping box, please contact your authorized Krell dealer, distributor, or Krell for assistance. Save all packing materials. If you ship your Evolution 505 in the future, repack the unit in its original packaging to prevent transit damage. See Return Authorization Procedure, on page 30, for more information. -
Page 12: Section Two: Unpacking And Placement
Place the Evolution 505 on a firm, level surface, away from excessive heat, humid- ity or moisture. The Evolution 505 requires at least two inches (5 cm) of clearance on each side, and at least two inches (5 cm) of clearance above the component to provide adequate ventilation. -

FOUR SECTION Connecting the Evolution 505 to Your System Using Balanced Connections Krell recommends using balanced interconnect cables. Balanced interconnect cables can not only minimize sonic loss, but are also immune to induced noise, especially with installations using long cables. Balanced connections have 6 dB more gain than single-ended connections. -
Page 23: Connection Steps
5. For two-channel and conventional compact disc playback only, connect the Evolution 505 balanced analog audio outputs or the left (L) and right (R) multi- channel outputs to the preamplifier balanced or single-ended analog audio inputs. -

Power On Press the back panel power switch (34) labeled “1”. When the Evolution 505 is ini- tialized and in the stand-by mode, the red stand-by LED (2) on the front panel illu- minates. Then press the power button (1) on the front panel or the power key on the remote control, to place the Evolution 505 in the operational mode. - Page 25 CD and SACD layers. Navigating a Data Disc The Evolution 505 is capable of reading MP3 audio files from data discs that you prepare on a personal computer. The front panel display indicates are at the beginning of the disc, nates an open folder.

12 V trigger sends a signal from the 12 VDC Out that will switch other components, allowing whole systems or parts of systems to be easily coordinated. The 12 VDC input allows you to turn the Evolution 505 on or off, or to and from stand-by, from other components. Note When the component is in the operational mode, the 12 VDC Out provides 12 V of DC out- put. -
