KRELL INTRODUCES THE KPS 28c, THE FIRST STAND-ALONE CAST CD PLAYER

Las Vegas--Krell Industries, Inc. manufacturer of high-end audio and video equipment for serious music enthusiasts and home theater aficionados, is pleased to announce the introduction of the KPS 28c compact disc playback system. The KPS 28c is the first stand-alone compact disc player equipped with a new technology from Krell called Current Audio Signal Transmission (CAST). As the first component in the music reproduction chain, the KPS 28c transmits the analog signal to the preamplifier in either CAST, balanced, or single-ended modes.

CAST is a Krell proprietary technology for connecting analog components that provides the most accurate signal transfer from one component to the next. It utilizes the sonic purity of current and eliminates signal degradation caused by cable interaction while transmitting signals in voltage. The greatest benefits of CAST technology take place when the entire signal transmission system, from source to output, operates in the current domain. When operating in CAST, the KPS 28c serves as a high-resolution source for initiating signal transmission in the current domain.

The KPS 28c continues the rich Krell tradition of high performance compact disc playback systems. With its CAST outputs, robust construction, and advanced digital-to-analog converters, the KPS 28c is an ideal source component for any high performance audio system. Among the highlights of the KPS 28c are:

• Krell traditional Class A, direct coupled, complementary output circuitry provides CAST, balanced, and single-ended outputs
• Four 24-bit Digital-to-Analog converters
• Krell Current Mode analog circuitry
• HDCD decoding
• Rigid disc clamping mechanism for optimum stability
• 12 Volt trigger output

The new Krell KPS 28c is the latest high performance compact disc playback system from Krell. It is designed both for Krell owners looking to take advantage of CAST technology and serious music lovers looking for a superior sounding compact disc player. The combination of exemplary audio performance, CAST technology, and beautiful aesthetics make the Krell KPS 28c the ideal compact disc playback system for music aficionados of all types.
