Krell Current Audio Signal Transmission
(CAST)
A proprietary Krell circuit technology for con-
necting analog components, in which the audio
waveform is transmitted between components
in the current rather than voltage domain. The
speed and bandwidth provided by Krell CAST
yields accurate, realistic music reproduction.
Krell components connected via CAST perform
as if they are all part of a single circuit.
Single-ended
A two-wire input or output circuit. Use care
when using single-ended connections as the
ground connection is made last and broken
first. Turn the system off prior to making or
breaking single-ended connections. Single-
ended connections are not recommended for
connections requiring long cable runs.
OPERATION
Off
When the power button on the front panel is
pressed and the blue power LED turns off, the
component is off.
Operational Mode
When the power button on the front panel is
pressed and the blue power LED illuminates,
the component is in the operational mode and
ready to play music.
Stand-by Mode
A low power consumption status that keeps the
audio and regulator circuits at idle. Krell recom-
mends leaving the component in the stand-by
mode when it is not playing music.
TECHNOLOGY
Krell Current Mode
A proprietary Krell circuit topology in which the
audio gain stages of a component operate in
the current rather than voltage domain. This
uniq ue technology provides the component with
exceptional speed and a wide bandwidth.
Krell HEAT
The Krell term HEAT, or High End Audio
Theater, ~s a design application incorporated
into Krell components to enhance multi-channel
home entertainment systems. A Krell HEAT sys-
tem is an integrated home theater system con-
sisting of a state-of-the-art Krell pre-amp
processor and matching amplifiers that repro-
duce two channel and multi-channel sources
with audiophile sound quality, placing the audi-
ence in the middle of a lifelike environment.
