The KLR Series are lightweight, high-performance 

amplifiers incorporating the latest technologies delivering 

quality and value at an affordable price. Whether your 

application is professional audio or fixed performance 

installation, KLR amplifiers are optimized to provide  

reliable audio performance with sonic perfection. 

Covering a power range from 1000 to 2500 Watts per 

channel at 2 Ohms the KLR-2000, KLR-3200, KLR-4000 

and KLR-5000 are perfectly suited for a wide range of 

sound reinforcement. All four KLR amplifiers are optimized 

to deliver high levels of sustained power, extraordinary 

audio performance, and road-proven reliability into 2, 4, 

or 8 Ohm loads and are housed in a a uniform, rugged 

2RU chassis. Each KLR amplifier uses a switch mode 

power supply which assures you of flawless lows, punchy 

mids and pristine highs. The output topology of the 

KLR-2000 is Class-AB, while the KLR-3200, 4000, and 

5000 are a 2-step Class-H design. 

KLR Features:

• Rated for 2 Ohms operation

•  Balanced inputs via 3-pin Euroblock

• Combo XLR/TRS connectors

•  Neutrik® speakON® type output connectors
