Technology

Active Cascode Topology

A unique circuit technique that minimizes distortion by applying from 2 to 3 times more active devices to each gain stage thereby reducing the load on individual devices and improving circuit-wide linearity.

Krell Current Mode

A proprietary Krell circuit topology in which the audio gain stages of a component operate in the current domain rather than the voltage domain. This unique technol- ogy provides the component with exceptional speed, and a wide bandwidth.
