Stereo Preamplifiers

Models: KRC-HR | KRC-3 | KAV-250p

KRC-HR
Stereo Preamplifier

The KRC-HR is the ultimate control center for high-end playback systems. It delivers remote control convenience and reference caliber line level preamplification to complement sophisticated sound systems. The functional array of inputs includes two sets of balanced and four sets of single-ended; one input is available for home theater applications. KPE Reference and KPE Standard phono preamplifier circuit boards can be inserted into the KRC-HR as an option for analog LP enthusiasts.

Highlights

	Direct coupled, high bias, pure Class A complementary analog circuits offer highly refined classic KrellŪ sound quality for unsurpassed two-channel playback.
	Advanced KrellŪ electronic volume control employs a 16-bit system, with over 300 discrete attenuation steps. This special volume control provides more precision than is possible with conventional potentiometers.
	Sophisticated switching using digital logic to operate networks of gold contact relays insures crisp positive switching and absolute sonic integrity.
	A multiple-transistor output buffer circuit employs groups of transistors in place of large single transistors to improve transparency and three-dimensional imaging.
	Remote control operation includes a uniquely machined aluminum remote controller for the tactile reward and pride of ownership that only KrellŪ can provide in the audio/video arena.

KRC-3
Stereo Preamplifier

The KRC-3 is the ideal control center for the audio perfectionist with basic system needs. It delivers remote control convenience and reference caliber line level preamplification to complement sophisticated sound systems. A straightforward set of inputs includes one balanced and three sets of single-ended; one input is available for home theater applications.

Highlights

	Direct coupled, high bias, pure Class A, complementary analog circuits provide fully balanced operation for audiophile-grade sound quality.
	Unique KrellŪ Current Mode GainTM circuitry, a faster and more linear method of amplification, operates in the high-speed current domain to deliver wide dynamics and high resolution.
	Advanced KrellŪ electronic volume control employs a 16-bit system, with over 300 discrete attenuation steps. This special volume control provides more precision than is possible with conventional potentiometers.
	Sophisticated switching using digital logic to operate networks of gold contact relays insures crisp positive switching and absolute sonic integrity.
	A highly efficient, well-regulated power supply insulates audio circuits to provide consistent performance regardless of line fluctuations or noise.

KAV-250p
Stereo Preamplifier

The Kav-250p Stereo Preamplifier with Theater Throughput^TM serves as a flexible control center for high quality music systems and integrates easily with home theater systems to deliver traditional KrellŪ quality, performance, and value.

Highlights
