The S-1200 release culminates
more than two years of design work and is the latest addition to the Krell HMI
1.3 capable surround sound processor lineup.
Coupling legendary Krell
preamplifier technology, state of the art digital processing, and the latest in
HDMI 1.3 surround formats, the S-1200 is an ideal centerpiece for any high
performance music and home theater system. Based on award-winning preamplifier
technology, all eight S-1200U analog output stages are built to the same
exacting standard and feature balanced and single-ended cable connections. Only
Krell designed preamplifier circuitry is employed within every channel utilizing
discrete current based Class A, direct coupled circuitry for the greatest signal
purity and highest bandwidth. Performance robbing op amps or integrated circuits
are not used anywhere in the audio path. Preamp mode bypasses all digital
circuitry and routes analog stereo inputs directly to a balanced resistor ladder
volume control for ultimate music reproduction.
The heart of a Krell surround
sound preamp/processors is sound quality. We start with a great sounding
preamplifier and then pair that to the latest in surround processing technology.
The S-1200 includes our finest audio and video engineering plus the latest in
connectivity technology, HDMI 1.3, to insure the ultimate home theater
experience for our customers. The audio signal path is a direct descendant of
our Evolution 707 Reference Surround preamp/processor. The S-1200 also uses the
same DSP engine and 1080p video stage from the Evolution 707.
At the hub of the S-1200
digital signal processing is a pair of dual core 32 bit Cirrus CS497004 DSP's
performing 1.8 giga operations per second. Digital signals are then routed to 24
bit ESS Sabre DACS.
The video content is treated
to the same high performance engineering as the audio signals. Video circuitry
takes full advantage of the new Deep Color HDMI 1.3 specifications. Maximum
color depth has been increased from 24 bits to 48 bits and bandwidth from 165MHz
to 340 MHz. Full video transcoding converts composite, S-Video, or component
inputs to HDMI signals. Furthermore, the S-1200U model includes upconversion to
a maximum of 1080p resolution. The S-1200 is a true "one connection solution"
with on-screen display, configuration menus, and status messages available from
all active video outputs including HDMI.
HDMI 1.3 is at the cutting
edge of today's technology and Krell is the first company to offer solutions for
both reference and high performance home theaters. Like its bigger brother, the
Evolution 707, the new S-1200 combines peerless audio and video performance with
the convenience features our customers demand.
