K-array adopts NDI across its Kommander range of amplifiers

K-array has announced a landmark step forward in AV-over-IP integration. Through a software update, the Italian manufacturer’s full line of Kommander amplifiers is now NDI-enabled, making K-array the first professional audio brand to natively embed the Network Device Interface (NDI) protocol directly into its amplifiers. No external gateways, licenses or additional hardware are required.

NDI is a low-latency, IP-based protocol capable of transmitting synchronised audio, video, and metadata over standard networks. While widely adopted in the video broadcast and live production sectors, its expansion into the audio domain marks a strategic evolution, one now being driven by K-array’s adoption.

With this update, K-array amplifiers now support native, bidirectional AV-over-IP workflows via their Linux-based Oskar OS. Thousands of Kommander units already in the field can become NDI-capable through a free firmware update, ensuring both future-ready performance and no added cost for existing clients.

“K-array’s commitment to native NDI integration represents a turning point for the audio industry”, comments Roberto Musso, Technical Director at NDI. “We’ve always envisioned NDI as a unified bridge for both video and audio across IP networks. Seeing this vision realized in K-array’s amplifiers, without additional hardware, signals the beginning of a smarter, more efficient future for professional AV.”
