Introduction
Kommander-KA amplifier models are available in two versions:
4-channel units with a dedicated IEB (Integrated Electronic
Brain) processing board, and 8-channel units with either the IEB
or the IEB-pro processing board. Both versions offer multichannel
free routing and DSP with features such as grouping, input
and output equalizers, level adjustment, dynamic limiters, and

delay per channel. The key difference between IEB and IEB-pro
is the expanded networking capabilities of the IEB-pro. These
networking features are compatible with various professional
audio protocols for managing digital audio streams, ensuring
seamless integration with existing technologies and providing
an optimal experience for integrators and system engineers.

Network Types and Audio Protocols
Standard IEB (Integrated Electronic Brain)
The standard IEB includes one network port with fast Ethernet
connection (1 Gigabit / 1.000 Mbps) and standard Wi-Fi with
an internal access point. Wi-Fi connection can be extended
through a router and amplifiers connected in Wi-Fi Client Mode.
The physical network connection allows remote control via
Ethernet and enables the following physical network topologies:
• Standard Star Topology - (Control only - Wi-Fi switched off)
• Standard Star topology - Control and DANTE network
(primary network without redundancy - Wi-Fi switched off).
With a single wired Ethernet connection, both control and
600W @ 2Ω
audio streams are integrated into the same network flow.
750W @ 4Ω
2500W @ 4Ω
IEB-Pro
The IEB-Pro is equipped with a 2-port network switch featuring
Ethernet connections (1 Gigabit / 1000 Mbps), but does not
include Wi-Fi capability. The supported network topologies are
150W @ 4Ω
as follows:
600W @ 2Ω
• Star Network Topology - Control only - amplifiers in single-
750W @ 4Ω
port mode);
• Star Network Topology with Control and Dante sharing the
2500W @ 4Ω
same network (amplifiers in single-port mode);
• Star Network Topology with Control and Dante
Redundancy (amplifiers in single port mode - redundancy
requires two fully separated networks);
• Star Network Topology - with Control and Dante Splitted(
amplifiers in single-port mode) - split requires two fully
separated networks;
• Daisy Chain Network with Control (amplifiers set in bridge-
mode) - not recommended for Dante
For more information on Dante network topologies and primary/
secondary port configurations, please refer to the dedicated
chapter on DANTE network.
