Krell Evolution 707 A/V Processor

Krell Evolution 707 A/V Processor

The new Krell Evolution 707 processor is a work of art. Handling up to 8.4-channel output encoded in one of the following surround sound formats; Dolby Digital Surround EX, Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 6.1 ES, DTS 5.1, DTS NEO:6, Dolby Pro Logic II processing as well as Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio lossless formats over HDMI 1.3, the Evolution 707 is the perfect solution for a separate component Home theater system.

The circuitry is built around two 64-bits digital signal processors (Crystal CS497004) to perform all surround mode processing. The twelve output stages are fully balanced and the preamp mode bypasses all digital circuitry and routes the signal directly to the volume control for the purest path possible. The 707 also includes S-Video, component, and HDMI v1.3 I/O

The Evolution 707 is nearly 10-inches tall and weighs over 50 pounds. It has an aluminum chassis with diamond cut finish. No release date announced but retail price is about $30,000.
