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.
