K-Array Kommander KA14 I – 4-Channel 2-Ohm Install Amplifier with DSP

Product Overview

The K-Array Kommander KA14 I is a 4-channel Class D install amplifier with DSP that delivers 600 watts per channel into 2 ohms from a 2U rack chassis, built for rack-mount DSP amplification in commercial installations. Its 2-ohm stable output stage is the defining trait: each channel can drive paralleled K-array passive loudspeakers in distributed low-impedance designs that would overload a conventional 4-ohm-minimum amplifier. Onboard processing with loudspeaker presets, an assignable routing matrix, and Ethernet plus Wi-Fi remote control let integrators commission a complete system without an external processor. It is the low-impedance workhorse of the Kommander line for conference rooms, distributed commercial audio, and multi-speaker zones.

Product Description

The KA14 I pairs a four-channel switching-mode Class D output section with K-array's installation DSP feature set: channel grouping, equalization, dynamic limiters, freely assignable signal routing with level adjustment, and factory loudspeaker presets tuned for K-array passive speakers. Because each channel tolerates loads down to 2 ohms, integrators can parallel multiple compact K-array elements per channel, reducing amplifier count in distributed designs across meeting rooms, corridors, and assembly spaces.

Four balanced XLR-F inputs with XLR-M link outputs feed the amplifier, and two PC 4/4-ST-7.62 terminal block outputs carry speaker wiring appropriate for permanent equipment racks. Management runs through the K-array Connect mobile app over built-in Wi-Fi for onsite adjustments, or through K-framework3 desktop software over wired Ethernet for system design, tuning, and supervision of many amplifiers on one LAN. PowerCon TRUE IN and Line connectors chain mains power between stacked Kommander units, and the universal 100-240V supply with PFC suits worldwide commercial deployment. For 4-ohm designs with more power per channel, see the Kommander KA34 4x750W amplifier, or browse the full K-array collection at Creation Networks.

Key Features

• 2-Ohm Stable Output Stage — Four Class D channels rated 600W each at 2 ohms drive paralleled loudspeaker loads that conventional 4-ohm-minimum amplifiers cannot support.
• Complete Onboard DSP — Grouping, equalization, limiters, routing, level control, and loudspeaker presets remove the external processor from most commercial installation designs.
• K-array Loudspeaker Presets — Factory presets match output behavior and protection to K-array passive speakers for predictable, fast 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.
• Control System Plugins — K-array publishes integration plugins for Q-SYS, Crestron, Control4, Symetrix, RTI, Kramer, and Savant control platforms.
• 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 IN and Line connectors daisy-chain power between Kommander amplifiers and reduce rack power distribution hardware.
• Full Protection Suite — Thermal, output short circuit, RMS output current, high-frequency, power limiter, and clip limiter protections preserve amplifier and loudspeaker health.
• Lightweight Stainless Chassis — At 6 kg (13.2 lb) in black stainless steel, the 2U unit suits equipment rooms, credenzas, and space-limited racks.

How It Compares

Frequently Asked Questions

Which K-array loudspeakers pair with the KA14 I?

The KA14 I drives K-array passive products such as Vyper and Kobra line elements and compact point sources, with its 2-ohm capability allowing several units paralleled per channel. K-array publishes an amp-to-speaker matching table, and Creation Networks can help size channel loading for your design.

Why does the 2-ohm rating matter for commercial installation?

Paralleling two 4-ohm loudspeakers on one channel yields a 2-ohm load. The KA14 I handles this directly at 600W per channel, so distributed designs across conference rooms and corridors need fewer amplifier channels and less rack space.

How does the KA14 I differ from the KA34?

Both are 4-channel 2U Kommander amplifiers with DSP and remote control. The Kommander KA34 delivers 750W per channel into 4-ohm-minimum loads for higher-output systems, while the KA14 I trades peak power for 2-ohm stability in paralleled distributed designs.

What does rack installation require?

The amplifier occupies 2U in a standard 19-inch rack, measures 430 mm deep, and weighs 6 kg. PowerCon TRUE IN and Line connectors chain mains power across adjacent Kommander units in multi-amplifier racks.

Can the KA14 I integrate with my control system?

Yes. K-array publishes control plugins for Q-SYS, Crestron, Crestron Home, Control4, Symetrix, RTI, Kramer Control, and Savant, with management over wired Ethernet or built-in Wi-Fi.

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.
