Krell Showcase Amplifier, Showcase Processor Brochure
Processor
The Showcase is Krell’s fifth generation
surround sound preamp/processor,
delivering the benefits of almost a
decade of experience in the develop-
ment of reference-quality High End
Audio Theater (HEAT™) systems.
A unique software-based seven-channel digital room
equalizer maximizes system performance in any room.
For each of four memory settings, the user can program
filter type (high-pass, low-pass, notch, peaking, and
high/low shelf), frequency, shape, and level for all seven
channels. This makes it possible to program, for exam-
ple, independent settings for stereo music, multichannel
music, movie surround, or even video game software.
Krell’s digital room equalizer can transform your family
entertainment room into a breathtaking home theater…
without hiring an architect.
Showcase Processor
With the latest in surround sound
technologies, a proprietary digital room
equalizer, and an exceptional preamplifier section, the Showcase processor
extends the KAV Series’ tradition of
Krell engineering and affordability to a
new generation.
State-of-the-art digital chipsets, operating with
upsampled 24-bit precision, control all of the digital
signal processing in the Showcase processor. THXUltra certified, the processor incorporates advanced
technologies, including Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby
Digital EX, THX Surround EX, DTS NEO: 6, and DTSES 6.1. Krell software provides digitally controlled
bass management with user-selectable crossover
points, optimizing the system’s speaker/subwoofer
interface. Following all digital signal processing, the
information is decoded by 24-bit/192 kHz DAC’s in
all 7.1 channels to deliver the most accurate analog
signal possible to the preamplifier stage.
The Showcase processor employs fully
discrete video circuitry. With bandwidth
greater than 80 MHz, it ensures the
integrity of all progressive and High
Definition component signals, while still
providing the convenience of on-screen
display for all video signals.
The Showcase processor uses Krell advanced analog
circuitry in the critical preamplifier section. The fully
balanced design delivers the extremely wide bandwidth required for accurate reproduction of the current generation of movie soundtracks and high-resolution audio formats. The analog Preamp mode
bypasses all digital circuits, providing the most direct
signal path for multichannel and stereo recordings.
Advanced operating features include a host of remote user
interfaces, FLASH memory for future software upgrades, and an
intuitive menu-based Smart System Setup. From ease of initial
setup to dramatic performances in your home, the Krell
Showcase sets a new benchmark for high performance and
value in a preamp/processor.
