In essence, Krell Current Mode maintains the integrity of the signal within the
component and CAST preserves the transmitted signal between components.
Together, CAST and Krell Current Mode technologies unify separate Krell compo-
nents into a single global circuit. Krell Current Mode technology enjoys bandwidth
increases up to an order of magnitude greater than their voltage based counter-
parts. This dramatic increase in circuit bandwidth delivers near perfection in the
audible band that typically suffers from phase distortions in voltage circuits.
CAST Cable Construction
A CAST system uses cables manufactured by Krell and other manufacturers spe-
cially licensed by Krell. Thin and flexible CAST MMF cables are constructed with
the same build quality as other Krell components and are aesthetically matched to
the components that Krell manufactures. An all-metal body and locking connec-
tors with gold contacts are part of the standard no-compromise specification
developed for every CAST cable made.
Evolution CAST
By employing radical current mirror circuitry, the CIPHER components elevate the
CAST technology to another level. This advanced use of the technology increases
the linearity, transient speed, and bandwidth of the Evolution components while
reducing the distortion by an order of magnitude.
The Best Musical Performance
When you operate a CAST system, you will hear significant improvements in every
performance area: speed, precision, dynamic range, depth and width of the sound
stage, transient impact, tonal balance, harmonic distortion, and more. The goal for
CAST is the same company goal used for all Krell products. Krell strives for the
delivery of the best performance of a musical event for you, using the full expres-
sion of technology to date.
