RCF KPS168 Overview

The KPS168 Class-D Power Amp with DSP (8x160W) from RCF delivers professional audio performance and excellent reliability for fixed installations.

Designed to integrate with RCF passive speakers, they include a comprehensive set of presets to simplify setup and ensure optimal sound quality. The Class-D output stage uses a full-bandwidth pulse-width modulator (PWM) to represent the entire 20 Hz to 20 kHz range with minimal phase shift. High-speed switching and real-time global feedback keep total harmonic distortion below 0.05%. Installation-specific features enhance usability and efficiency, including advanced system status monitoring for proactive maintenance, LAN Control and GPIO connectivity for expanded control capabilities, flexible signal routing for customized installations, and complete integration with RCF's proprietary RDSpace management platform. Digital S/PDIF inputs and outputs are also included.

Intelligent Power Allocation
  • Delivers 8 independent 160W RMS channels into a compact 1 RU chassis
  • Intelligent power-sharing architecture can reallocate balancing absorption on channel pairs
  • Gives installers flexibility to distribute power asymmetrically across outputs, without engaging bridge mode or reducing channel count
RDSpace Control Software Platform
  • Adaptive software for KPS Series management.
  • Available for macOS/Windows platforms, or as a web app connecting the browser (from smartphones or computers) directly to the amplifier.
  • Handle every stage of deployment—input routing, zone definition, output optimization, and speaker calibration—with real-time monitoring through a single interface.
  • Scales smoothly from small venues to large, multi-zone networks, giving operators quick access to presets or deeper configuration tools as the project demands.
  • Allows management of linear-phase FIR filtering, speaker presets and user presets, flexible routing, parametric EQ, precision delay, and full device control.
  • All configuration and monitoring take place in a single application, with the same unified interface, giving operators complete command of the entire audio system from every screen.
