K-Array Kommander KA34 – 4-Channel 3000W Install Amplifier with DSP

Product Overview

The K-Array Kommander KA34 is a 4-channel DSP amplifier that delivers 750 watts per channel into 4 ohms from a 2U rack chassis, built for rack-mount DSP amplification in commercial installations. As a 4x750W Class D amplifier with onboard processing, it drives K-array passive loudspeakers directly and removes the external loudspeaker processor from most system designs. Balanced XLR inputs with link outputs, terminal block speaker outputs, and linkable PowerCon TRUE mains make it a clean fit for permanent equipment rooms, while Ethernet and Wi-Fi remote control keep commissioning and day-two management simple. It sits in the middle of the Kommander line as a networked install amplifier for mid-size commercial audio systems.

Product Description

The KA34 pairs a four-channel switching-mode Class D output section with a complete onboard DSP engine: channel grouping, a 3-band fully parametric input EQ, 8-band parametric output filters, dynamic limiters, a freely assignable input-to-output routing matrix with level adjustment, and up to 115 ms of channel delay. Processing runs on K-array's Integrated Electronic Brain with the osKar operating system on a quad-core 1.5 GHz processor, and a REST API opens the amplifier to third-party control system integration.

Integrators manage the KA34 through the K-array Connect mobile app over built-in Wi-Fi for fast onsite adjustments, or through K-framework3 desktop software over wired Ethernet for system design, tuning, and supervision of many amplifiers on one LAN. The lightweight stainless steel 2U chassis weighs only 7 kg, easing rack loading in equipment closets and credenzas, and the universal 100-240V supply with PFC suits worldwide commercial deployment.

Key Features

• 3000 Watts Across Four Channels — Four Class D channels rated 750W each at 4 ohms power mid-size commercial audio systems from a single 2U rack unit.
• Complete Onboard DSP — Channel grouping, parametric input and output EQ, dynamic limiters, routing, and delay replace the external processor in most installation designs.
• K-array Loudspeaker Integration — The amplifier is engineered for K-array passive lines, with the published amp-to-speaker matching table guiding channel loading at commissioning.
• Ethernet and Wi-Fi Control — The K-array Connect app manages the unit wirelessly while K-framework3 software handles wired LAN design and tuning of multi-amplifier systems.
• REST API for Control Systems — A documented REST API plus published plugins support integration with Q-SYS, Crestron, Control4, Symetrix, RTI, Kramer, and Savant platforms.
• Quad-Core Processing Engine — The Integrated Electronic Brain runs the osKar operating system on a quad-core 1.5 GHz processor for responsive onboard signal management.
• Install-Grade Connectivity — Four balanced XLR-F inputs with XLR-M link outputs and two PC 4/4-ST-7.62 terminal block speaker outputs keep rack wiring tidy and serviceable.
• Linkable Mains Power — PowerCon TRUE input with power link lets stacked Kommander amplifiers chain mains power and reduce rack distribution hardware.
• Full Protection Suite — Thermal, output short circuit, RMS output current, high-frequency, power limiter, and clip limiter protections safeguard the amplifier and connected loudspeakers.
• Lightweight Stainless Chassis — At 7 kg (15.4 lb) in stainless steel, the 2U unit suits both equipment-room racks and space-limited furniture-mounted installs.

Technical Specifications

How It Compares

Frequently Asked Questions

Which K-array loudspeakers pair with the KA34?

The KA34 is designed for K-array passive products such as Kobra and Python line elements and Thunder subwoofers. K-array publishes an amp-to-speaker matching table for channel loading, and Creation Networks can help you size the amplifier for your specific loudspeaker layout.

How does the KA34 compare to other Kommander amplifiers?

The KA34 provides 4 channels at 750W each. If your design needs more zones at lower power, the Kommander KA18 offers 8 channels at 150W; for higher per-channel power across 8 outputs, consider the Kommander KA208.

What does rack installation require?

The amplifier occupies 2U in a standard 19-inch rack, measures 430 mm deep, and weighs 7 kg. PowerCon TRUE power linking chains mains across adjacent Kommander units, simplifying power distribution in multi-amplifier equipment rooms.

Can the KA34 integrate with my control system?

Yes. K-array publishes control plugins for Q-SYS, Crestron, Crestron Home, Control4, Symetrix, RTI, Kramer Control, and Savant, and the onboard REST API supports custom third-party integration over Ethernet or Wi-Fi.

Do I need an external DSP or loudspeaker processor?

In most K-array system designs, no. The onboard engine supplies grouping, parametric EQ, limiting, routing, level control, and delay, so the KA34 acts as amplifier and processor in one 2U unit.

What warranty and support come with this amplifier?

K-array provides a 5-year manufacturer warranty. As an authorized dealer, Creation Networks backs your purchase with commercial AV design assistance and post-sale technical support.
