Updating the digital module software may also be necessary depending on the vintage of the unit (see Krell website). The Vanguards amplifier incorporates a massive power supply with a 750 VA toroidal transformer and 80,000 microfarads of storage capacitance. The tremendous amount of energy on tap provides 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 400 watts into 4 ohms. Two quiet, thermostatically controlled fans permit the use of a surprisingly compact chassis. The preamplifier section of the Vanguard borrows its balanced, fully discrete Class A circuit concepts from Krells top-of-the-line Illusion preamplifiers. Krells Current Mode technology is employed to assure unequaled signal bandwidth, easily enough to handle the latest high- resolution PCM and DSD audio sources without impacting high-frequency response and detail. Packed with many of Krells most musical-sounding technologies, the elegant chassis is living-room-friendly. Yet it has enough power to achieve incredible, lifelike dynamics with any speaker. The front-panel menu system provides configuration features such as input naming and input trim. Theater Throughput mode lets the Vanguard serve as the core of a surround- sound system without sacrificing two-channel sound quality. Analog Inputs include three stereo RCA and one stereo balanced XLR. High-quality WBT speaker cable terminals provide a secure, electrically ideal connection. The Vanguard also offers features that make it perfect for custom installation, such as 3.5mm jacks for IR input and 12- volt trigger input and output, as well as optional rack-mount ears. Additionally, the unit can be controlled with home automation systems through its Ethernet connection.
