Krell Current Audio Signal Transmission

(CAST)

A proprietary Krell circuit technologyfor con- necting analog components,in which the audio waveformis transmitted between components in the current rather than voltage domain.The speed and bandwidth provided by Krell CAST yields accurate, realistic musicreproduction.

Krell componentsconnected via CASTperform asif theyare all part of a single circuit.

Single-ended

A two-wire input or output circuit. Use care whenusing single-ended connections as the ground connection is madelast and broken first. Turn the systemoff prior to makingor breaking single-ended connections. Single- ended connections are not recommendedfor connectionsrequiring long cable runs.

OPERATION

Off

Whenthe power button on the front panel is pressedand the blue powerLEDturns off, the componentis off.

Operational Mode

Whenthe power button on the front panel is pressed and the blue powerLEDilluminates, the componentis in the operational modeand readyto play music.

Stand-by Mode

A low powerconsumptionstatus that keepsthe audioandregulator circuits at idle. Krell recom- mendsleaving the componentin the stand-by modewhenit is not playing music.

TECHNOLOGY

Krell Current Mode

A proprietary Krell circuit topologyin whichthe audio gain stages of a componentoperate in the current rather than voltage domain. This uniq ue technologyprovides the componentwith exceptional speedand a wide bandwidth.

Krell HEAT

The Krell term HEAT, or High End Audio Theater, ~s a design application incorporated into Krell componentsto enhancemulti-channel homeentertainment systems. A Krell HEATsys- tem is an integrated hometheater systemcon- sisting of a state-of-the-art Krell pre-amp processor and matchingamplifiers that repro- duce two channel and multi-channel sources with audiophilesoundquality, placing the audi- encein the middleof a lifelike environment.
