KRELL INTRODUCES THE RESOLUTION SERIES LOUDSPEAKERS
New speakers raise the bar for beauty and performance.
Las Vegas, NV - CES 2004 - LVCC South 1&2, Booth #16877 & 17837 -- Krell Industries has again raised the bar in the category of high-end home theater and audio components with the introduction of the Resolution Series loudspeakers. Applying the same Lossless Acoustic Transducer (LAT) technology and design principles that are the foundation of the LAT Series loudspeakers, the Resolution Series marries state-of-the-art components with beautifully crafted cabinets to create a loudspeaker unlike any before it.
Understanding that cabinet construction is as vital to the performance of a loudspeaker as the drivers and crossover network, the Resolution Series cabinets are a robust 1-inch thick MDF (medium density fiberboard) while the baffles are an unprecedented 2-inch thick MDF ensuring the complete elimination of baffle resonance. Midrange drivers are isolated within their own enclosures and the speaker's internal bracing is asymmetrically aligned to further increase the cabinet's rigidity. The curvature of the cabinets not only adds to their aesthetics, but also helps eliminate internal standing waves that can be detrimental to sound quality.
Performance enhancements extend way beyond the cabinet to the drivers and crossover networks. The Resolution Series' 1-inch tweeters feature an integral "waveguide" for enhanced dispersion characteristics and the mid-bass drivers utilize a unique mounting system that decouples the driver frame from the baffle thereby eliminating sonic colorations. Proprietary suspensions and extended voice coil structures assure linear performance, and the driver frames are made of a cast aluminum-magnesium alloy for high efficiency performance and immunity to overheating.
Krell's extensive knowledge in building high performance electronics gave them the expertise to build a crossover network for the Resolution Series that acts like a natural extension to their amplifiers, effectively directing the power to the drivers unimpeded. All crossover components are mounted on 1/8-inch epoxy glass circuit boards and the multiple potted polypropylene capacitors are wired in parallel to minimize inductance and resistance causing less amplifier strain and making the speakers effortless to drive. The Resolution Series crossover networks are also engineered to provide an extremely smooth impedance curve with high efficiency, thereby, presenting a predictable, nearly ideal load to the power amplifier.
All of the Resolution speakers feature high quality, WBT binding posts for better connectivity and are available in a beautiful Cherry finish. When combined with Krell's Class A, KAV or Showcase electronics, the Resolution Series loudspeakers complete a music and home theater system of stunning dynamics and clarity.
