Excellent performance: clarity and power with class G efficiency. The design is also compact for the power and looks sharp. The web-based programmability offers a high degree of customization for equalization, low and high bypass, multiple speaker impedances, and remote adjustability. As for the problem a reviewer had with a KDA not auto-sensing a signal to turn on: the threshold/minimum signal level for turn on can be adjusted in the menu! An eventual problem with hum can be solved by upgrading a weak capacitor. Panasonic FR type works great for that.

Had it for a a year. It often goes dormant and very difficult to wake it up. Sometimes it doesn?t come on for hours.

For outdoor systems requiring more output, the Klipsch KDA-1000 DSP Amplifier powers larger arrangements to deliver incredible performance from a 1000W, single - rack unit solution - all completely customizable through the web - based DSP menu.
70V / 100V / Low Impedance Compatibility
From small residential systems to massive commercial installs, the Klipsch KDA-1000 is designed for maximum install flexibility - offering low impedance and 70V/100V compatibility for distributed line applications. These impedance settings are fully independent from channel to channel - so an installer can run one channel low impedance with another channel 70V/100V for full customization and optimization of their system.
Flexible I/O
The KDA-1000 boasts fully matrixed 4x4 I/O with fully balanced Phoenix connector inputs and Phoenix speaker outputs capable of connecting up to 12 gauge wire. For non - balanced connections, RCA inputs and outputs (throughs) are also built - in, making the KDA-500 one of the most flexible power solutions on the market today.
State - Of - The - Art DSP Control And Set - Up
The myriad of I/O, impedance, and acoustic settings are fully matrixed and customizable through the web - based DSP menu - simply plug in a laptop computer to the RJ-45 port on the back panel of the amplifier, enter the assigned IP address into your favorite web browser to pull up the easy - to - use, streamlined menu page. In addition to password protected channel assignments, gain settings, EQ, and limiting, the DSP provides presets for almost every Klipsch speaker on the market - optimizing acoustic performance and power handling for these products with a single click. Accessing the DSP wirelessly with a tablet, smartphone, or computer is also quick and easy when the KDA amplifier is plugged into the networks wireless router.
