Behringer KM-1700 1700 Watt Stereo Power Amplifier Amp with ATR Technology (KM1700 KM 1700)

Behringer KM-1700 1700 Watt Stereo Power Amplifier Amp with ATR Technology (KM1700 KM 1700)

The KM1700 delivers an impressive 1700 Watts of output power (2 x 800W @ 4 Ω; 2 x 500W @ 8 Ω; 1700W in bridge mode) in a lightweight 27.5 lbs / 12.5 kg design. Engineered with Accelerated Transient Response (ATR) technology, this powerhouse combines raw strength with high efficiency, providing the speed, clarity, and punch needed to keep your system performing at its best night after night.

ATR ensures your sound stays tight and responsive by delivering massive bursts of energy exactly when your woofers demand it. With carefully selected high-slew-rate transistors and optimized circuitry, the KM1700 reacts instantly to demanding bass transients, producing tighter, crisper, and more natural sound. Instead of running continuously like conventional amplifiers, its rail-tracking power supply modulates only with signal peaks, greatly improving efficiency and dynamic performance.

Operation is straightforward and reliable. The front panel Gain controls feature positive detents with Signal LEDs for visual monitoring and Clip LEDs to warn when input levels need adjusting. On the rear panel, you’ll find balanced XLR and ¼" TRS inputs, unbalanced ¼" TS inputs, and a choice of locking speaker outputs or touch-proof binding posts for secure connections. Switches allow for Mono, Stereo, or Bridge mode, while the built-in Limiter (On/Off switch) provides dependable overload protection.

Built rugged for the road, the KM1700 is designed with working musicians in mind. Offering massive power, lightweight portability, and long-term reliability at an affordable price, it’s a serious amplifier that ensures your PA system always delivers maximum impact.
