RELIABILITY IS EVERYTHING
The Australian Monitor KA1500 provides serious performance for not so serious dollars.
A professional amplifier in this price range with this sort of superior sonic performance and the flexibility of
accepting optional plug-in active filters and limiters, was unheard of before the Australian Monitor KA range.
Having built our reputation in the demanding concert and large installation markets,
we now offer a high value for money amplifier that all venues can enjoy.
