Power factor corrected and operating at levels as high as 6000W into 2Ohms down to models providing 1100W into 8Ohms, the KPA series covers the full range of reinforcement needs, says the company. The amplifiers can be daisy chained together using a single Cat 5 cable for both digital audio distribution and remote control and monitoring of all amplifier functions, including load monitoring. The head end of the K8 digital audio distribution system may be fed with an expanding selection of inputs including the choice of Ether Sound, AES3 digital or analogue.
Klein+Hummel's installed sound product manager Dave Theis points out the advantage of this system: "K8 only requires a single control connection to Ethernet or USB to monitor and control all the amplifiers in multiple equipment locations."
Any of 16 audio channels may be selected at the amplifier or switched via remote control through the K8 system from K+H. The KPA series is highly efficient and offers a power-saving standby mode putting long-term ownership costs at a minimum.
