Drivers

All Resolution loudspeakers feature tweeters that have a dual concentric design, with very well-damped ultrasonic resonance and a response beyond 40 kHz.

The 4-inch midrange driver used in the Resolution C and Resolution 1 features a 1-piece chassis and a 1-piece cone and surround. This type of construction mini- mizes the resonant properties caused by component part boundaries. The Resolution 2 uses a 6.5-inch midrange driver that features a wood fiber cone for wide frequency response and resistance to break up at high playback levels. A larger motor structure with custom suspension enables long, linear travel for the cone, contributing this driver’s low distortion.

The Resolution 3 and Resolution 1 employ a unique 8-inch mid-woofer driver. This driver features an ultra-light magnesium cone for extended midrange fre- quency response. The 8-inch cone dimension provides better low frequency projection and impact, and a larger motor extends low frequency response while lowering distortion. The 10-inch and 8-inch woofers used in the Resolution 1 and 2 feature aluminum cones that are extremely rigid, for a fast response with enhanced low frequency impact. Here again, a large motor extends low frequen- cy response while lowering distortion.

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.
