wide bandwidth, and minimal negative feed-
backs. The KPS 28c can be seamlessly integrat-
ed into a home theater or whole-house audio sys-
tem, and the remote control provides for the con-
venient operation of the KPS 28c as well as other

CONNECTIONS
Bridging. An internal connection option that
links two amplifier channels to operate as one
combined amplifier channel, greatly increasing
the channel's power output.
Krell Multi Amp Throughput (MAT). A propri-
etary internal connection option that sends the
same music signal to all amplifier channels
using one balanced or single-ended connec-
tion. MAT reduces installation complexity and
cabling requirements in systems containing
multiple amplifiers.
INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
Balanced. A symmetrical input circuit that has
equal impedance from both input terminals with
respect to a common reference point. Balanced
connections have 6 dB more gain than single-
ended connections.
Single-ended. An input circuit in which one
side of a transmission line circuit is ungrounded.
Single-ended connections have 6 dB less gain
than balanced connections.
