About the S1000
The Krell S-1000 is a high-end 7.1-channel surround sound preamplifier/processor designed for home theater and multi-channel audio applications. It features state-of-the-art digital audio processing with support for Dolby Digital Surround EX, Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 6.1 ES, DTS 5.1, DTS NEO:6, Dolby Pro Logic II, and 9 proprietary Krell Music Surround modes. Audio decoding uses 24-bit/192 kHz DACs for precise analog conversion, paired with Krell Current Mode fully balanced analog preamplifier circuitry. It includes an analog preamp mode that bypasses digital circuits for purest stereo and multi-channel playback. Video handling supports HDMI switching (up to 350 MHz bandwidth), component, S-Video, and composite inputs/outputs with on-screen display and FLASH memory for upgrades. A unique 8-channel digital room equalizer allows per-channel parametric EQ with 4 memory settings. This product, released around 2006, is no longer manufactured.
