Review Summary

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.

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.
