the line output capability of the KABD amplifiers to connect a powered subwoofer, and even add
some room EQ to the subwoofer.

For creating 2-way speakers with active crossovers, a 4 channel amplifier such as the KABD-4100
or KABD-430 is better suited for this type of project because 4 channels can power a stereo pair
of tweeters and woofers, but a 2 channel KABD only has 2 powered outputs.
Gaming/Arcade Machines, Kiosks or other commercial systems.
The KABD-250 or KABD-230 is an excellent choice for adding audio to systems of all kinds used for
commercial purposes. Wherever there are speakers, there needs to be an amplifier. And the KABD
series brings amplification, Bluetooth and DSP in one compact and easy to integrate package. The
integrated DSP allows for tweaking the sound to completely suit the unique needs of a big project, and
features like programmable external potentiometers and plug and play wiring harnesses bring incredible
customization possibilities.
Utilizing the DSP in a commercial environment can be beneficial in many ways. For example, if we
wanted to make an arcade machine with great audio to really pull the gamer into the game. We could
use a pair of high quality full range speakers built into the cabinetry of the machine, and then optimize
the sound of those speakers and also efficiently power them with a KABD-250 or KABD-230. With DSP
integrated into your arcade machine, you can fully optimize full range drivers, which most need to
sounds their best when used by themselves. It can be especially important in noisy environments, like
most commercial settings are. Optimizations might include a high pass filter to ease the load on a full
range driver, a small bass boost in the high bass region to increase perception of bass, a limiter to
protect the drivers, a treble boost to compete with other noise sources, or even different presets with
the flick of a switch or turn of a dial for different situations.
