VK-250 Balanced Power Amplifier

Owner's Manual

Introduction

Thank you for your purchase of the Balanced Audio Technology VK-250 balanced power

amplifier. Please read this owner's manual to obtain the full benefit of the VK-250 in your

system. It will provide you with the needed safety information and operating procedures for this

exceptional unit.

WARNINGS:

To prevent the possibility of serious injury, electrical shock or fire:

DO NOT operate with the cover removed.

DO NOT expose to rain or moisture.

DO NOT defeat the ground power-plug.

DO NOT replace fuses with anything other than the same type and rating as supplied by the

factory.

Package Contents

Included in the box should be the following:

Description Quantity

VK-250 Power Amplifier 1

Power Cord 1

Spare Fuses 3

Torx Wrench (T-10) 1

Spare Top Cover Screws 5

Owner’s Manual 1

Optional Accessories (as ordered)

Save all the packaging material in a safe dry area for the unlikely event that you need

to return the VK-250 to the factory for service.

Physical Placement

It is recommended that you provide for at least 6" of free space around the unit for proper

ventilation.

Mount the unit on a hard surface with proper ventilation underneath.

Do not stack the VK-250 power amplifier on top of other units, nor vice versa.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

To assure reliable operation always turn the VK-250 OFF while making or changing

input or speaker connections. No connections should be made while the

amplifier is ON.

If the VK-250 was turned OFF for any reason, wait at least 30 seconds before

turning it back ON.

Power Connection

Due to the VK-250 amplifier’ high power rating, it is important to assure the good quality

power line connection. If separate circuit outlets are used for the preamplifier and power

amplifier, it is recommended that both circuits be connected to the same phase of the power

line. Otherwise, a high level of hum can be present.

Input Connections

Best results will be obtained when connecting the VK-250 to a balanced preamplifier.

However, the VK-250 is designed to accept either balanced or single-ended inputs.

Monoblock Connection: On the VK-250M Power Monoblock either left or right input can

be used for input connection – either one will produce identical results.

Balanced Components

Use balanced XLR interconnects to connect the VK-250 to a balanced preamplifier. Input

connectors are clearly marked on the back panel.

Note: The VK-250 input XLR connectors are wired as follows:

Pin 1: common/shield

Pin 2: positive

Pin 3: negative

Single-Ended Components

Single-ended components have RCA connectors. The VK-250 power amplifier is

designed to work with either single-ended or balanced preamplifiers connected to its inputs.

All that is required to connect a single-ended preamplifier with RCA connectors to the

VK-250 inputs is the optional balanced to single-ended adapters. These adapters are

available from Balanced Audio Technology at a nominal charge.

Input Adapters: RCA Female to XLR Male

Speaker Connections

There are two sets of high quality binding posts on the back panel of the VK-250 (one for

each channel). These can accommodate a wide variety of speaker cable terminals. You

can use a 7/16” wrench to tighten these binding posts, however excessive force should be

avoided to eliminate the chance of breakage.

Monoblock Connection: On VK-250M Power Monoblock either left or right output

connector can be used for speaker wires, or both, in case of bi-wiring.

External 12V Trigger Input/Output

VK-250 is equipped with the external 12V trigger connectors – Input and Output. To

control the VK-250 the external device must supply the standard 12V signal.

12V Trigger Output connector can be used to drive another device’s input for daisy-chain

operation of multiple units.

Operating the VK-250

Turning the VK-250 On:

The power switch is located on the VK-250 front panel. If VK-250 was turned OFF even for

a short period of time, you should wait at least 30 seconds before turning it back ON. This

precaution will minimize the stress on internal components.

When you turn the unit ON, the VK-250 will automatically go through a gentle power-on

sequence. At the end of a 10 second delay the unit will unmute and become operational.

Front Panel LED Indicators/ Remote Trigger Operation

When the VK-250 is not connected to the external 12V Trigger line, its Blue ON indicator

will turn ON and OFF when the power switch is depressed.

When unit is connected to the external controller via the 12V Trigger line, the condition

of the LED indicators will depend on the state of that control line.

If the external controller is in OFF state (12V signal is not present), then the green Stanby

LED will light upon power switch activation. The unit will alternate between the

Standby and Off state every time the Power Switch is depressed.

When in its Standby mode, the unit will be controlled by the 12V Trigger line. When that

line issues the ON command (12V signal is present) the green Standby LED will go out,

and the blue ON LED will light.

Fuse Protection:

The circuitry of the VK-250 is protected by the following fuses:

1. The main line fuse is located on the back panel. This fuse should be checked if the

front panel LED’s fail to light.

2. Two internal fuses are mounted on each of the two amplifier circuit boards. These fuses

have two green LED’s associated with them. Both LED’s should be lit when unit is ON and

operating properly. Failure of either of these LED’s to light indicates that the corresponding

fuse is open.

CAUTION:

Make sure that the VK-250 is turned OFF and disconnected from the power line

before checking or replacing fuses.

A blown fuse in the VK-250 is an indication of a serious problem. If a replacement fuse fails

as well, no further attempts at servicing the unit should be undertaken. Please contact the

factory for professional service.

Fuse Ratings

The proper ratings for the main line fuse are as follows:

For 100-120 VAC Units: 10A 250V Slow Blow

For 200-240 VAC Units: 7A 250V Slow Blow

The internal printed circuit board mounted fuses are 10A Fast Acting type.

Factory supplied fuses should be only replaced with the same type and rating parts.

Servicing

The Balanced Audio Technology VK-250 should not require service to maintain its high

performance. In case of malfunction, if replacing fuses fails to eliminate the problem, please

direct any further service inquiries to the factory.
