Offering a combination of high efficiency, high power and low weight, the two-channel KLR models range from 1kW to 2kW/channel at 2Ω. The KLR-2000, KLR-3200 and KLR-4000 are optimised for 4Ω or 8Ω loads in bridged, stereo or parallel mono operation, and use use switch mode power supplies. The output topography of the KLR-2000 and KLR-3200 are class-AB, whereas the KLR-4000 is a two-step class-H design. KLR amplifiers include output over-current protection, DC output protection, chassis internal temperature monitoring, inrush limiting, and a mains circuit breaker.
The front panels include individual input attenuators, forced air vents with removable dust filters, a power switch, and LEDs for power, signal, clip and protection. The rear panel includes a three-position gain switch (1V, 32dB or 26dB sensitivity), a three-position mode switch (bridged, stereo or parallel mono), a three-position high-pass filter switch (30Hz, 50Hz or off), a limiter switch (on/off), and air outflow vents. Inputs include balanced three-pin Euroblock and a combination XLR/ quarter-inch tip-ring-sleeve. Output connections are Neutrik Speakon. The power cord is permanently attached.
‘Ashly users will recognise the KLR Series as the logical extension of our amplifier lineage, and new users will find value, performance and reliability that is unmatched by our competitors,’ says Dave Parse, Ashly Audio CEO. ‘The feature set is sufficiently broad to accommodate the varied needs of a diverse professional audio industry while avoiding seldom-used bells and whistles.’
