Kempton KA 1200 Specifications

Featuring robust power,

efficient operation, impressi-

ve specs, and excellent cost per

watt performance: Kempton’s

KA amplifiers are the perfect

power mates for PW and GT

sound reinforcement speaker

systems. Used in 4-ohm bridged

applications the KA 2000 deli-

vers 2000W, the KA 1200

1200W and the KA 800 800W.

The KA Amplifier Series is the

result of many hours of testing

and performance involving

Kempton’s tech staff and users.

The results are a sophisticated

power amp circuit design featu-

ring high power, superb quality,

reliability and stability to provide

the highest possible sound

performance 

Amps with Class

KA 800 and 1200 are feature Class AB design,

while KA 2000 is a Class H (2 steps) amp design.

The KA Series power amps deliver high fidelity

sound quality, high slew rate, wide full range fre-

quency response and extremely low noise. These are

the references of Kempton’s KA Power Amplifiers.

Features & Controls

Sophisticated protection circuits prevent improper

tampering. A variable low noise, high speed fan pro-

vides for improved heat dissipation and to prevent

thermal shutdowns. Balanced XLR and Jack input

connectors. Professional 4-pin speakon and binding

posts outputs. Stereo-Parallel-Bridge modes via

switch. Selectable clipping control / limiter function

switch. Selectable built-in 30Hz low pass filter to

protect speaker systems from damage caused by

subsonic frequencies. LED indicators for the output

balance, as well as LED status indicators of signal

(SIG) and clipping (CLIP). 2-unit 19” rack space desi-

gn for universal rack mount installations.
