Introduction
Definition of Terms
Thank you for your purchase of the Krell
KPS 28c. The KPS 28c’s transport design elimi-
nates error-producing wobble and delivers
exceptional tracking and focus accuracy, regard-
less of environment or disc characteristics.
Digital circuitry provides ultra-high signal resolu-
tion and direct coupled analog circuitry assures
superior low-frequency performance, with low
distortion, wide bandwidth, and minimal negative
feedback. The KPS 28c can be seamlessly inte-
grated into a home theater or whole-house audio
system, and the remote control provides for the
convenient operation of the KPS 28c as well as
other Krell components.
This owner’s reference manual contains impor-
tant information on placement, installation, and
operation of your KPS 28c. Please read this
information carefully. A thorough understanding
of these details will help ensure satisfactory oper-
ation and long life for your KPS 28c and related
system components.
Following are the definitions of key terms used in
your owner’s reference manual.
CONNECTIONS
Theater Throughput
Theater Throughput is a Krell configuration
option that allows the signal from a surround pre-
amp/processor to pass through a Krell preampli-
fier or integrated amplifier with no gain, for inte-
grated volume and balance management of Krell
home theater systems.
INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
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 connections and allow the use of
long interconnect cables. Balanced connections
are completely immune to induced noise from the
system or the environment.
Krell Current Audio Signal Transmission
(CAST)
A proprietary Krell circuit technology for connect-
ing analog components, in which the audio
waveform is transmitted between components in
the current rather than voltage domain. The
speed and bandwidth provided by Krell CAST
yields accurate, realistic music reproduction.
Krell components connected via CAST perform
as if they are all part of a single circuit.
