The Behringer KM1700's Accelerated Transient Response design employs transistors with high slew rates and a high-current toroidal transformer to coordinate your audio with your speakers. This ultra-fast transient response ensures that every beat of your music comes through loud and clear, with maximum punch and clarity. Rail tracking effectively modulates the KM1700's power supply rails with only the peaks of the input signal, giving rise to efficient performance with low signal distortion.

Streamlined controls for simple operation

Using the Behringer KM1700 is dead simple. Push the Power button and an LED shows you that the unit is on. A pair of positive-dent Gain controls with signal LEDs provides you with an at-a-glance view of your levels. A Mode switch selects between mono, stereo, and bridge modes. A Limiter switch turns the KM1700's overload protection on and off. You also get Ground-lift and Sensitivity switches.
