Krell S-300i Integrated Amp Offers iPod Connectivity
S-300i combines a Class A preamplifier circuit, an amp section rated at 150 watts into an 8-ohm load and iPod connectivity.
Krell Industries is offering consumers an all-in-one component that is stylish and affordable with its new S-300i Integrated Amplifier.
The S-300i (pdf) combines a fully balanced, Class A preamplifier circuit with a stereo amplifier rated at 150 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 300 watts per channel into 4 ohms.
Its circuit design is modeled after the company's Current Mode technology used in Krell’s Evolution amps and preamps.
The S-300i amplification section employs a massive 750 VA toroidal transformer and 38,000 microfarads of storage capacitance to help it handle any load a loudspeaker may present.
It also delivers an iPhone/iPod interface that is modeled after Krell’s KID iPod/iPhone dock. The iPod interface taps into the fully differential output included in iPods and iPhones.
Other features include:
Krell ships the integrated amp with dog ears for rack mounting, a cable for the connection of an iPod/iPhone and a solid-aluminum remote.
MSRP: $2,500
