Krell HEAT: Home Theater Technology
The Krell Lossless Acoustic Transducer (LAT) loudspeakers are part of a whole family
of loudspeakers newly designed by Krell. The LAT–C and the LAT– 2 are voiced pre-
cisely for use with the LAT–1. Together with the Krell Master Reference Subwoofer,
these components comprise the High-End Audio Theater (HEAT) loudspeaker,
continuing the Krell tradition of making the best high-performance audio technology
available for home theater.
Today’s home theater soundtracks contain a demanding range of dynamic material,
from the softest music or whispered conversation to the roar of a jet take-off.
The soundtrack plays a key role in the action seen on the screen and its content
is becoming increasingly complex with each theatrical release. LAT loudspeakers
address the demands of these soundtracks in three ways: superior power handling,
ultra-fast response, and high resolution at low levels.
Krell HEAT provides an electronic transcription of the source material from DVD
to amplifier output. The LAT provides the mechanical transcription—faithfully
and without coloration—from loudspeaker input to listener. These loudspeakers,
driven by Krell amplifiers, guarantee that you will experience the soundtrack of
any film just as the director intended.
See Figure 8, on page 24, for a home theater placement scenario using Krell
Lossless Acoustic Transducers.
