Music reproduction begins with the broadcast quality laser assembly that incorporates a direct-drive motor, belt-driven laser mechanism, and a viscous-damped suspension. These elements combine to assure bit-perfect recovery from all compact discs. Digital processing is performed by four 24-bit/96kHz digital-to-analog converters operating in a balanced configuration, deriving extraordinary detail from source material. Two Motorola 88 MHz DSP engines run Krell-designed digital filtering software to deliver the most musically precise signal possible to the preamplifier. The preamplifier features Current Audio Signal Transmission (CAST) for musical coherence in transferring the signal without loss to an external power amplifier. Add any Krell Full Power Balanced X Series amplifier and Krell LAT Series loudspeaker for a system that will reveal every drop of emotion in your favorite music. Two remote controls are included: a full-function tabletop and a handheld remote featuring the most commonly used functions. Both remotes are precision machined and hand finished.
