Information:
KM1700
Professional 1700-Watt Stereo Power Amplifier with ATR (Accelerated
Transient Response)
The remarkable KM1700 packs a heart-stopping 1700 Watts of output
power into a lightweight (27.5 lbs/12.5 kg) package, thanks to our
Accelerated Transient Response (ATR) technology. Ample power (1700
Watts in Bridge mode; 2 x 800 Watts @ 4 Ohms; 2 x 500 Watts @ 8
Ohms) and high-tech efficiency combine, giving you a supercharged
workhorse that will keep your rig kicking for years and years to
come.
Accelerated Transient Response Delivers the Knockout Punch
It takes huge pulses of energy (current and voltage) to propel a
woofer cone out fast enough to match a bass beat. That’s called
Transient Response and it’s the holy grail of amp design. By
carefully selecting transistors with extremely high slew rates and
optimizing other proprietary parts of our circuitry, our amps are
able to react instantly to even the most demanding electronic bass
impulses. If the woofers in your PA system can keep up, your
audience will hear a tighter, crisper, more natural sound.
Instead of operating relatively continuously like most power amps,
the KM1700 features rail tracking for effectively modulating the
power supply rails with only the peaks of the input signal. This
technology has revolutionized pro audio amp designs with its
outstanding performance and efficiency.
Sublimely Simple Operation
The front panel controls and indicators provide your system’s vital
signs at a glance. After pressing the Power button, the Power LED
lights to show the amp is ready for action. All channels feature
positive-detent Gain controls with Signal LEDs that light when a
signal is present, as well as Clip LEDs that alert to reduce the
input signal.
Just as elegant as the front, the rear panel is home to the balanced
XLR and ¼ ” TRS, plus unbalanced ¼ ” TS connections. Take your pick
of professional locking speaker Outputs or touch-proof binding posts
to securely connect speakers. The same panel contains the switches
that put the KM1700 in Mono, Stereo (two channel mode) or mono
Bridge mode. Flick the Limiter On/Off switch to activate the
built-in overload protection.
Sound Value
The remarkable KM1700 power amp was built for the working musician.
It is exceptionally light, packs a massive 1700 Watts of output
power, thanks to our Accelerated Transient Response (ATR) technology
and is built rugged enough for life on the road. Plus, the KM1700’s
ultra-light price tag will leave cash left over for you to get more
stuff to amplify! Check out the incredible KM1700 at your BEHRINGER
