Detail 01
500W per channel at 4 ohms, 275W at 8
Two 8-ohm cabinets get 275W each. Wiring two 8-ohm boxes per side gives 4 ohms and the full 500W.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Two-channel 500W-per-side power amp with built-in DSP. For small-to-mid PA rigs, monitors, or a sub crossover without buying an outboard processor.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Powering a pair of tops for bars, clubs, corporate rooms
- Running a sub with the crossover done inside the amp
- Installs where one 2U box replaces amp plus processor
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Large touring rigs needing more than 500W per channel
- Silent rooms or studios — the fan runs audibly
- Anyone wanting plug-and-play; presets need setup to be useful
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Rated down to 2 ohms
Handles four 8-ohm cabinets on one channel, which many amps in this range will not do safely.
Detail 03
Butterworth and Linkwitz-Riley crossovers
You can biamp tops and subs from this amp alone. LR24 is the usual choice for a sub split.
Detail 04
50 mS of delay
Enough to time-align a sub to tops, or delay fills roughly 50 feet back from the main stacks.
Detail 05
Peak X limiter with threshold, attack, release
Set it to your drivers' limits and it protects them. Defeatable, so it does nothing until you configure it.
Detail 06
18.5 lb, 19 x 3.5 x 12.25 inch
Two rack spaces, one-hand carry. Shallow enough for most portable racks.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Fan pulls front to rear — leave the rack front and back clear
- 02Speakon NL4 cables and XLR input cables are separate purchases
- 03Draws 6.8A at 120V under load; plan the circuit accordingly
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I run four speakers off this amp?
Yes. Two 8-ohm cabinets per channel puts each side at 4 ohms and 500W. It is also rated for 2-ohm loads if you go further.
02Do I still need a separate crossover?
No. Highpass and lowpass filters per channel are built in, with Butterworth 6 through 24 dB and Linkwitz-Riley 24 or 48 dB slopes.
03How do I edit the DSP?
Front panel LCD with SEL and prev/next buttons for basic work, or over the rear USB Type B connection to a HiQnet network.
04What is the subharmonic synth for?
It generates content one octave below the input and mixes it in for extra low end. Frequency, gain, and filter type are adjustable.
