A Letter from Krell Industries LLC
Dear Audio Enthusiast,
Thank you for your purchase of the Krell Phantom preamplifier.
The preamplifier plays a vital role in audio playback by mediating the line-level out-
put of a wide variety of source components in preparation for the amplifier’s input.
At no other point in the reproduction process is music so vulnerable to change, as
the signal level is small, and susceptible to noise and distortion.
Having always valued the role of the preamplifier in fine audio systems, we take
preamplifier design very seriously. We realize that, no matter how impressive an
amplifier’s performance; it can be no better than that of the preamplifier driving it.
Our new Phantom preamplifier employs a powerful, separate power supply, Krell
Current Mode gain stages from input to output, and Current Audio Signal
Transmission (CAST) receivers and transmitters. Utilizing these powerful technolo-
gies, the Phantom conveys the complete range of timbre and dynamics that com-
prise the foundation musical performance. Typical of our latest preamplifier
designs, the Phantom preamplifier includes a thoughtful suite of menu options and
can be customized for the greatest ease of operation.
We hope that you enjoy your new Phantom preamplifier.
Sincerely,
Krell Industries LLC
