“Through Kramer’s intuitive control platform, our Kommander amplifiers can now be implemented seamlessly into a Kramer-based control system,” explains Matteo Barbaro, software product manager at K-array. “This is an exciting step as integrators now have fewer barriers when it comes to integrating our professional audio solutions into a range of spaces, such as corporate, government or education environments.”

“The technical partnership with Kramer follows our trend of being as compatible as possible with all the control system manufacturers,” continues Barbaro. “Our goal is to improve the integration experience whilst eliminating any potential user pain points.”

The announcement of this new partnership is a continuation of K-array’s commitment to software development, following the release of plug-ins for other control platforms including Crestron, Q-SYS, AMX and Control4. According to the company, further software partnership announcements are expected throughout 2024.

“By providing consultants and integrators with all the necessary tools to interact with and manage K-array products, they will be able to work more efficiently, which in turn benefits the end user,” concludes Barbaro. “We’ll continue working to expand the technologies that our products can integrate with and in turn, ensure our solutions are at the front of the minds of integrators when they are specifying on projects.”

“We are truly excited about the possibilities that Dante Ready enables for manufacturers and customers alike, giving them the flexibility to add Dante channels and features when they need them. As one of the most innovative companies in the AV industry, K-array is the perfect partner to launch this revolutionary new service,” says Laurence Crew, Audinate senior product manager.

Dante Ready is available for devices built using the Dante Embedded Platform, a software implementation of Dante audio designed for Linux-based audio appliances.

Dante Ready lets customers activate Dante as software online while devices are in the field, purchasing only as many channels of Dante audio as they require — from 2×2 to 64×64. Once activated, the product license never expires and can be expanded as needed through later purchases. All purchases are routed through Audinate’s secure payment system.

The Kommander Series amplifiers are a new chapter for K-array boasting cloud-based technologies thanks to the Integrated Electronic Brain on board each amp, coinciding with the launch of Dante Ready. More than a traditional DSP, the built-in microelectronics driven by the integrated operating system feature expansive sound processing and complete user control over the system performance: Volumes, Signal Routing, Presets as well as a complete USB player, are directly manageable from the device via a mobile app and dedicated professional interface.

“To be the first to use Audinate’s Dante Ready activation is a great privilege. Every aspect of K-array’s experience and expertise has been poured into the Kommander,” says Alessandro Tatini, president of K-array. “Our all-new, High-Performance amplifiers deliver all of the performance and dynamic excellence for which K-array is renowned, with the additional benefit of cloud-based technologies to extend the possibilities. This is for our customers who will appreciate and enjoy having complete control of K-array speakers.”
