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 eectively 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 eciency.

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/O switch
to activate the built-in overload protection.
