The Klipsch KDA-1000 1000W DSP Amplifier (230V) is a powerful and versatile amplifier designed by Klipsch to deliver high-quality sound in a variety of settings, from home systems to commercial installations. This 1000-watt amplifier is ideal for those looking for a reliable and flexible sound reinforcement solution, especially when paired with Klipsch speakers. Let's take a closer look.
Main characteristics
-
Power: The total power of the system is 1000 W, distributed over 4 channels of 250 W each. This allows you to connect several speakers or subwoofers, providing a clear and dynamic sound picture even in large spaces.
-
Amplification Class: The KDA-1000 uses a high-efficiency Class G/H amplifier. This class combines energy efficiency and low distortion, making it suitable for long-term operation without overheating.
-
Impedance Compatibility: The amplifier supports both low-impedance loads (4 or 8 ohms) and 70V/100V lines, making it versatile for residential and large commercial applications such as restaurants, offices, or outdoor areas. Each channel can operate independently in either mode.
-
Inputs and outputs: The unit features 4 balanced Phoenix inputs (for wires up to 12 AWG) and 4 unbalanced RCA inputs with loop-through outputs. Speaker outputs are also implemented via Phoenix connectors, which simplifies connection.
-
DSP (Digital Signal Processing): One of the key features of the KDA-1000 is its built-in DSP with a web interface. By connecting the amplifier to the network via the RJ-45 port, you can configure it via a browser on any device - from a laptop to a smartphone. The DSP allows you to control the equalizer, limiter, volume, and even select presets optimized for most Klipsch speakers.
Advantages
-
Flexible Application: With 70V/100V support and low impedance, the KDA-1000 is suitable for both home theater and professional distributed audio systems.
-
Compactness: The amplifier is housed in a 1RU (one rack unit) format, making it convenient for rack installation or limited space. Dimensions: 44 mm (height) x 483 mm (width) x 363 mm (depth), weight - about 6.8 kg.
-
Easy to set up: The DSP web interface is intuitive and allows you to quickly tailor the sound to your specific environment or acoustics. Presets for Klipsch speakers make integration easy.
-
Sound Quality: Klipsch is renowned for its approach to audio, and this amp is no exception. It delivers powerful, clean sound with less than 1% THD at full power and a signal-to-noise ratio of -100 dB below rated output.
