The Krell Evolution 403e is a three-channel power amplifier rated at 400 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 800 watts per channel into 4 ohms. It uses Krell’s Active Cascode and Current Mode topologies, together with Evolution CAST circuitry, and provides balanced XLR, single-ended RCA, and CAST inputs for each channel. Outputs are provided through Krell binding posts. The amplifier has a 6,000 VA power supply using two 3,000 VA transformers and 188,000 µF of filter capacitance, with a 100 V/µs slew rate, output impedance below 0.055 ohms at 20 Hz, and a damping factor greater than 145 at 20 Hz and 125 across 20 Hz–20 kHz. It measures 17.3 × 9.8 × 26.1 inches (W × H × D) and weighs approximately 190 pounds (86.2 kg). It is intended for demanding high-end multichannel music and home-theater systems.
