24 years have passed since a boy with a strong passion for music and electronics started

to design his fi rst amplifi er in his garage in Galliate in Northern Italy. Thus, in 1984 KIND

Audio was born, and the passion and dedication of Alessandro Cortese “Mister Kind”

has remained unchanged with the main aims still being the search for the best solutions

and excellent audio quality. In 1995 production moved to a new plant in Galliate where,

with four fully equipped production lines, an MRP management system and an automatic

quality control system, it was possible to cope with the increasing demand.

More than two decades..........

One of the fi rst achievements of KIND Audio was the XM series launched in 1986, the

most powerful was the XM2000 (2x1000W/4). The topology was dual mono and the

reliability was so high that the series soon became a commercial success. After more than

20 years, many units are still at work to the great satisfaction of their owners. In 1996

the XT series was introduced (to replace XM series), again with dual mono topology,

and thanks to its proven reliability and a great sound the XT series is still required today.

In the same year the K series was also introduced, and among these the KQ model deserves

a special mention. It was a 4x400W unit and one of the fi rst multi-channel amplifi -

ers to enter the market, anticipating what is now a trend in the demand for multi-channel

amplifi ers. In 1999 KIND Audio started its fi rst lightweight amplifi er series with SMPS,

introducing the NWX models. In 2001 the MCX series joined the catalogue, specifi cally

designed for the lower power installation market with 4/6 80/120W channels. Though

the XT and NWX series employed class H output stages in order to enhance the effi

ciency, in 2001 we started a study to design high effi ciency amps with R-SMPS (with

PFC) and class D output stages. After three years research and development, in 2004, the

2-channel DDX and 4-channel DQX models entered production. This new technology

allowed us to manufacture amplifi ers with a high power density, such as 4x1900w/4 in

2U rack at a mere 11 kg in weight. The core of this technology is called TeoTon; a control

modulator that greatly reduces the THD, maintaining a fl at response and stability with

any kind of load - aims not easily achievable with class D amplifi ers.

The Future

The experience gained by KIND Audio in amplifi er design and production is well established

after 24 years of hard work; the innovation will carry on with higher power ranges,

networking, control processing, effi ciency and maximum fl exibility. Our mission has not

changed and it is still to manufacture reliable amplifi ers with a great sound by using the

ultimate technology, and to ensure KIND amplifi ers are backed by effi cient after sales

support. Investing in KIND Audio amplifi cation will continue to be the right solution.

With its proven quality and reliability, KIND Audio now and in the future is an “Audible

Power Solution”.
