The AVN-AH8 multi-channel headphone amplifier is a 1U rack-mount which distributes 2 sets of stereo audio to up to 8 different sets of headphones, fed from the Dante AoIP network. A typical application might be to provide common headphone feeds for guests in a radio studio, coming directly from the AoIP network.
Each output has front panel unbalanced 1/4” & 3.5mm jack sockets and a rotary level control. The front panel potentiometers adjust the headphone volumes from mute (fully anticlockwise) to 0dB of gain when fully clockwise. This is useful if the Dante stream level is low or high and requires adjusting.
There are 8 parallel 1/4” jacks on the rear panel, for ease of wiring if the unit is installed in an enclosed rack.
Each of the 8 professional headphone outputs can each select between 2 stereo Dante sources which are routed via Dante controller. The level of each stereo Dante stream can be adjusted ±12dB using one of the two front panel rotary controls. The unit supports AES67 operation and is Dante Domain Manager compliant.
The AVN-AH8 front panel contains a power (PoE) LED, a DC LED, a network link status LED, and a clock LED. A recessed reset switch is also provided.
The unit is powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE) or a 12VDC input via a locking 2.5mm DC Input, 2A minimum rating.
The NPA100DA features a 2x 50W digital amplifier (1 x 100W mono) or 70V / 100V hi-level constant voltage output, dedicated LFE subwoofer output, Dante audio integration and 2ch balanced / un-balanced audio outputs.
The Kommander-KA18 is a fully-featured, 8x 150W @ 4Ω amplifier platform with DSP highly integrated into the K-array collection ecosystem.
The Kommander-KA18 offers pristine sound and complete control over the connected loudspeakers, either as a stand-alone driving unit or in conjunction with other K-array amplifiers in complex and demanding applications.

Pi is a multipurpose series of power amps for touring and installation applications, based on the legendary QuantaPulse™ switching mode power supply with an innovative class H 3 steps topology.
This series includes a completely renewed PMS™ which incorporates a set of protection systems in power supply and audio modules which works in real time continuously maintaining all variables of the amp within safe working threshold always. So, Pi amps are appropriate machines for the most exigent applications with the best reliability.
Pi amps have been designed with a non-symmetrical class H topology which allows working with very high voltages given incredible headroom and a great punch.
All these characteristics make Pi amplifier an interesting device to work with asymmetric loads to squeeze every last drop of power in each way of the sound system.
Pi series has an extra-large 4.3″ IPS display with capacitive touch panel whereby it is possible to control and manage every parameter of the amp and select all System Presets, Uses, User EQ and Snapshots created.
Also a powerful FIR DSP has been implemented in these amps with a software specifically developed for this series.

Linea’s 88C Series of eight channel amplifiers are optimised for use in installations. Combining massive power and peerless audio performance with unique DSP, the 88C Series also incorporates many features that ease it’s integration on to both new and legacy systems, the 88C Series represents an unmatched advancement in amplifier technology.
Sharing the same feature set and form factor as Linea's 44C Series of four channel amplifiers the 88C Series is available in models that develop between 400Watts and 2,500 Watts per channel (up to 5,000 Watts for a bridged pair). Unusually these are not, ‘transient’, ‘burst’ or ‘peak’ power figures, they are the power levels that are delivered by all channels simultaneously even when driven with the same dense program material.
With Linea amplifiers there is no need to ration power between channels, you can use all the power you have paid for all the time. This has been independently verified.
Linea can do this because state of the art components and a finely optimised design results in an amplifier that is between 7% and 10% more efficient than any competitive product. This efficiency gain directly translates in to the generation of about half the wasted energy (heat) which is clearly significant. In addition to reducing energy costs high efficiency results in generous power reserves ensuring that pristine sound quality is maintained even under the most extreme conditions.
Ethernet is used for remote control and monitoring while the tamper proof front panel allows easy verification of the operating status and signal levels. Control via Linea’s intuitive Podware PC application provides many convenient and time saving features such as very flexible management of presets, and Overlay grouping of Mutes, Gains, Delays and EQ across an entire system. Control from 3rd party systems is also possible via TCP/IP, RS232 and RS485 while comprehensive relay and contact closure ports ensure that basic control can be achieved very easily.
The advanced 96kHz DSP is fully integrated into the product and provides an array of unique and genuinely useful features. Because all aspects of the DSP algorithms are designed and hand crafted in house by Linea, they are not available on products from any other manufacturer. For example, LIR linear phase crossover filters which are as easy to use as more conventional filter shapes, and have less latency than FIR filters. Also the powerful VX Limiter suite which sports Peak, RMS and Excursion limiting, as well as multiband limiting for passive 2-way enclosures.
The CA 4D is a 4 channel MOSFET amplifier with controller card system configuration technology, using digital controller cards D MOD or F MOD. Both exclusively supporting the KS AUDIO FIRTEC™ finite impulse response technology. When changing controller cards or when loading a new program from the internal memory both the inputs and the outputs are appropriately configured to reflect the correct set up.
Whether or not the system is configured as 4 single channels – 2 channel / 2 way – 2 channel with mono Sub woofer – 2 channel mono bridged high power sub woofer – 1 channel 3 way - L and R SAT configuration, nearly every combination of KS AUDIO speaker systems is possible. This allows for a wide field of application, from small and medium size concert sound reinforcement to speech reproducing at the highest quality.
The CA 4D is equipped with 4 independent analog FET power amp modules. Two of them deliver a continuous sinewave power of 700 watts into 4 ohms each. While the other two modules deliver half that power. The controller card and an applicable program determines the distribution of power to always deliver the maximum available. The high performance of the CA 4D amplifier is achieved by three balanced supply voltages. The power losses are substantially less than with any other conventional analog power-amplifier designs. A total of 40 quality selected power MOSFET transistors, deliver a maximum headroom. Soft clipping circuits working in conjunction with
the operating voltage, limit the NF signals and therefore enable the power amps to always work with a high damping factor as well as remaining fully regulated.
The power supply is a state-of-the-art, heavy duty wide-range switch mode design, with Power-Factor-Correction (PFC) built in. The start-up current is limited to assure maximum protection. A second power supply is used to independently supply the controller card electronics along with the low voltage cooling fans and to operate the stand-by switch. Excess temperature is dissipated by 2 fans. The air is taken in from the front panel inlet thru an easy to clean filter. It is passed through to the back panel outlet, while passing over the heat fins and the power transformer to cool these units down to nominal operating temperatures.
On the front panel there are 4 mute switches corresponding to the 4 channels of the amplifier. Each of these switches has a red LED below it to indicate the mute status. On the rear panel there are 4 Neutrik speakON output connectors. Their status is indicated by 4 green LEDs. The mains cable is connected via a PowerCon.
The housing is constructed of 1.5mm thick steel while the 19′′ front plate is constructed of 4mm thick anodized aluminum and has 2 handles for ease of use.
