The Output Stage. In the output stage of a conventional amplifier, loudspeaker control is accomplished by driving the positive speaker terminal only. Each Master Reference Subwoofer uses two Krell Current Mode circuit paths, one to drive the positive and one to drive the negative terminals of the loudspeakers. These signals work together to drive the loudspeakers in a precise “push-pull” dialogue that preserves all the characteristics of the recording.

The Master Reference Subwoofer sets a new standard for ultimate subwoofer power and performance. Its ability to reproduce the impact and tonal quality of low frequency sound is unparalleled, as is the ease with which it can match any system or speaker configuration. The Master Reference Subwoofer represents the culmination of the latest research and development from Krell Industries, Inc. and represents the next exciting innovation in the long line of exceptional audio components from The Leader in Audio Engineering—Krell.
