Technology

Krell HEAT, or High End Audio Theater, is a design application

incorporated into Krell components to enhance multi-channel

home entertainment systems. A Krell HEAT system is an inte-

grated home theater system consisting of a state-of-the-art

Krell preamp/processor and matching amplifiers and loud-

speakers that reproduce two-channel and multi-channel

sources with audiophile sound quality, placing listeners in the

middle of a lifelike environment.

A crossover is used to maximize the efficient delivery of all of

the sound reproduction tasks across the entire audible spec-

trum. The crossover splits the audible spectrum into separate

frequency bands for the distribution of content to different

drivers in a loudspeaker. A two-way crossover, for instance,

may split the audible spectrum into two frequency bands,

from 20 Hz to 2 kHz and from 2kHz to 20 kHz and above. The

loudspeaker woofer driver reproduces content from 20 Hz to

2 kHz, while the tweeter reproduces content from 2 kHz to

20 kHz and above.
