Krell HEAT

Crossover

Technology

Krell HEAT, or High End Audio Theater, is a design application incorporated into Krell components to enhance multi-channel home entertainment systems. A Krell HEAT system is an inte- grated home theater system consisting of a state-of-the-art Krell preamp/processor and matching amplifiers and loud- speakers that reproduce two-channel and multi-channel sources with audiophile sound quality, placing listeners in the middle of a lifelike environment.

A crossover is used to maximize the efficient delivery of all of the sound reproduction tasks across the entire audible spec- trum. The crossover splits the audible spectrum into separate frequency bands for the distribution of content to different drivers in a loudspeaker. A two-way crossover, for instance, may split the audible spectrum into two frequency bands, from 20 Hz to 2 kHz and from 2kHz to 20 kHz and above. The loudspeaker woofer driver reproduces content from 20 Hz to 2 kHz, while the tweeter reproduces content from 2 kHz to 20 kHz and above.

RESOLUTION 1 specifications

Krell Industries has long been revered for its high-fidelity audio equipment, and the RESOLUTION 1 speaker is a testament to their commitment to excellence. Designed for the discerning audiophile, the RESOLUTION 1 incorporates advanced technologies and meticulous craftsmanship to deliver an unparalleled listening experience.

One of the standout features of the RESOLUTION 1 is its proprietary bass management system. The speaker employs a unique arrangement of dual 8-inch woofers, each optimized for efficient low-frequency reproduction. This design allows for deep, powerful bass that maintains clarity and articulation, ensuring that every note is rendered precisely. The woofers are crafted from a lightweight yet rigid material, preventing distortion even at high volumes.

The midrange is handled by a custom-designed 6.5-inch driver, tuned to deliver exceptionally natural vocals and instrumental performances. This driver is engineered to minimize resonance and provide a smooth response across the critical mid-range frequency spectrum. As a result, listeners can expect a rich, immersive soundstage that brings music to life with stunning realism.

High frequencies are reproduced by a state-of-the-art ribbon tweeter, known for its ability to produce extended frequency response and exceptional transient response. The tweeter's design allows for a wide dispersion pattern, ensuring that the sweet spot is large and accommodating, so that everyone in the room can enjoy the same pristine sound quality.

The cabinet design of the RESOLUTION 1 is equally impressive. Constructed from high-density MDF and featuring reinforced bracing, the enclosure is engineered to minimize unwanted vibrations and resonance, which in turn enhances audio clarity. The speakers are finished with a luxurious veneer, available in a variety of finishes to suit any home décor.

Connectivity options are plentiful, with the RESOLUTION 1 supporting both single and bi-wire configurations, allowing users to optimize their setup according to their personal preferences. The crossover network is meticulously designed to ensure seamless integration between the drivers, delivering a coherent and balanced sound signature across all frequencies.

In summary, the Krell Industries RESOLUTION 1 speaker represents the pinnacle of audio engineering, boasting advanced bass management, high-quality drivers, and a finely crafted enclosure. Its thoughtful design and cutting-edge technologies make it a standout choice for anyone seeking an exceptional high-fidelity audio experience. Whether for music or home theater applications, the RESOLUTION 1 is poised to deliver sound that resonates with emotion and precision.
