Features 


The S-300i is the first Krell integrated amplifier to feature iPod
connectivity and extends the award winning tradition of audiophile grade
integrated amplifiers.

A low profile chassis fronted by an elegantly finished silver Aluminum front
panel hints at the potent circuitry hidden within its walls. Small in stature
but big in performance, the S-300i integrated amplifier develops 150 W into 8
Ohms and 300 W into 4 Ohms. Employing a massive 750 VA toroidal transformer and
38,000 microfarads of capacitance guarantees huge power capability for maximum
dynamic impact. Both balanced and single-ended inputs are provided, and the
Theater Throughput™ mode, developed by Krell, simplifies integration into home
theater systems. Robust WBT binding posts provide superior loudspeaker cable
termination. New for the S-300i is direct connection for all generations of
Apple iPods /iPhones with complete control of the iPod functionality via the
included remote control. Unique for the category, the S-300i taps audio from the
fully differential output included in the internal DACs of iPods/iPhones and
maintains this balanced signal throughout the circuitry.

The S-300i features the latest Krell Class A, direct coupled design, and
fully balanced preamplifier circuitry for the lowest noise reproduction
possible. Krell Current Mode provides unequaled bandwidth for the most revealing
playback of today's high resolution music sources. Direct coupled circuitry
eliminates impact-robbing capacitors from the signal path and an elegant,
custom-machined level control adjusts volume.

The included solid aluminum remote control replicates all front panel options
as well as providing control for a connected iPod/iPhone. RS-232 is also
included for inclusion in advanced control systems.
