Following are the definitions of key terms used in your owner's ref-
erence manual.
Krell Trigger
A method of synchronizing remote control operation for Krell sys-
tems that include multiple preamplifiers, amplifiers, and associated
components. When Krell Trigger in/out connections are used, the
remote capabilities of the linked components are controlled from
one component, called the control component. The linked compo-
nents respond to stand-by and operational mode commands from
the control component via MIDI cables.
Balanced
A symmetrical input or output circuit that has equal impedance from
both input terminals to a common ground reference point. The
industry standard for professional and sound recording installations,
balanced connections have 6 dB more gain than single-ended con-
nections and allow the use of long interconnect cables. Balanced
connections are completely immune to induced noise from the sys-
tem or the environment.
Krell Current Audio Signal Transmission (CAST)
A proprietary Krell circuit technology for connecting analog compo-
nents, in which the audio waveform is transmitted between compo-
nents in the current rather than voltage domain. The speed and
bandwidth provided by Krell CAST and the CAST circuitry update,
Krell CAST II, yield accurate, realistic music reproduction. Krell com-
ponents connected via CAST and CAST II 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 bro-
ken first. Turn the system off prior to making or breaking single-
ended connections. Single-ended connections are not recommend-
ed for connections requiring long cable runs.
