KABM Integration on KABM Amplifier Boards

While your KABM amplifier sounds great out of the box, the KABM DSP Control software is compatible with KABM amplifier boards (KABM-215, KABM-30M) when combined with a KPX programmer and the free KABM software offers extensive DSP customization with no experience required. The software provides simple control of 10 band of PEQ, High Pass Filters, Low Pass Filters, Compressor / Limiters, Bass Effects and more. KPX Programmer connection is only needed temporarily, DSP presets can be saved to the KABM amplifier itself and the programmer can be removed. This also means that one programmer can program as many amplifiers as needed.
