The Krell KRC-2 is a solid-state stereo line-level preamplifier with balanced and single-ended connectivity, a fully complementary Class A signal path, FET input circuitry, and a bipolar output stage designed to provide low output impedance. It offers remote-controlled operation, including volume adjustment and polarity inversion, and includes a theater-throughput feature for integration with a home-theater system. Published specifications include selectable gain of 6 dB or 2 dB, 47 kΩ input impedance, 10 Ω output impedance, up to 16 V RMS output, a 95 dB signal-to-noise ratio, total harmonic distortion below 0.02%, and frequency response extending from approximately 0.2 Hz to 400 kHz. The chassis measures approximately 19 inches wide, 2.75 inches high with feet, and 14.5 inches deep, and weighs about 20 pounds. The KRC-2 is a discontinued model.
