Krell Full Power Balanced X Series Power Amplifiers
3
Off
When the power switch on the back panel is placed in the down
position and the blue power LEDs turn off, the component is off.
Operational Mode
When the power button on the front panel is pressed and the three
blue power LEDs illuminate, the component is in the operational
mode and ready to play music.
Stand-by Mode
A low power consumption status that keeps the audio and regulator
circuits at idle. Krell recommends leaving the component in the
stand-by mode when it is not playing music.
Krell Current Mode
A proprietary Krell circuit topology in which the audio gain stages of
a component operate in the current rather than voltage domain.
This unique technology provides the component with exceptional
speed and a wide bandwidth.
Krell Sustained Plateau Bias III
A patented microprocessor control system that maintains Class A
bias operation regardless of musical demand. Class A bias is the
most accurate method used to amplify musical signals. The new
Sustained Plateau Bias III software is featured in the Full Power
Balanced X Series amplifiers and was developed from the algo-
rithm utilized in the Master Reference Amplifier. Sustained Plateau
Bias III maximizes an amplifier’s efficiency both in power consump-
tion and heat generation.
