Theater Throughput is a Krell configuration option that allows the
signal from a surround preamp/processor to pass through a Krell
preamplifier or integrated amplifier with no gain, for integrated vol-

Balanced
A symmetrical input or output circuit that has equal impedance
from both input terminals to a common ground reference point.

A direct balanced input carried via a special termination utilizing a
