Kramer Expands Installed Audio Portfolio at InfoComm India 2026

At InfoComm India 2026, Kramer showcased an expanded portfolio of professional loudspeakers, including a new range of Dante-enabled models, as part of its growing focus on the installed audio market. The company also demonstrated its latest AVoIP solutions, including the debut of the KDS-17 Lite, alongside the KDS-17, KDS-100 and ZeeVee SDVoE platforms.

Exhibiting at Booth L01, Kramer highlighted solutions designed to address a broad range of applications, performance requirements and budgets across corporate, education, hospitality, retail and commercial environments.

“Our customers and partners in India are designing AV systems for an incredibly diverse range of environments, and they need audio solutions that can adapt to those different requirements,” said Kirti Shetti, India Sales Director, Kramer.

Expanded Networked Audio Options

Spanning ceiling, wall-mounted, all-weather and pendant speakers in multiple form factors, Kramer's growing loudspeaker portfolio combines premium sound quality, flexible deployment and integrator-friendly installation. Available in both passive and Dante-enabled configurations, the range provides system integrators with greater flexibility when designing audio solutions for meeting and collaboration spaces, educational facilities, hospitality venues, retail environments and other commercial applications.

The latest additions expand Kramer's portfolio of PoE-powered Dante speakers. By carrying both audio and power over the network, the Dante-enabled models help reduce cabling requirements and installation complexity while providing the scalability and flexibility of IP-based audio distribution.

A key advantage of the portfolio is the ability to combine networked and traditional audio within the same project. Dante-enabled speakers are complemented by corresponding passive models with the same industrial design and sound profile, allowing integrators to mix and match passive and Dante speakers while maintaining consistent audio performance and a unified aesthetic throughout an installation. This approach provides greater flexibility in selecting the most appropriate audio architecture for each project.

Designed for professional AV applications, the speakers place a strong emphasis on speech intelligibility and background music reproduction. Advanced sound dispersion supports even room coverage, helping minimise dead spots and ensuring speech, presentations and programme material can be heard clearly across the space.

Kramer has also incorporated a range of integrator-focused features, including front-access wiring for ceiling speakers and centralised speaker utility software for configuration and troubleshooting. Multiple form factors and mounting options offer further flexibility when adapting audio systems to the architectural, aesthetic and technical requirements of different environments.

Kirti Shetti added: “By expanding our speaker portfolio, particularly our range of Dante-enabled models, we're giving system integrators more flexibility to choose the right approach for each project. Whether it's a meeting room, a classroom, a hospitality environment or a larger commercial space, the goal is the same: great sound combined with solutions that are simple to design, install and manage.”

Complete 1G and 10G AVoIP Portfolio

Alongside its installed audio offerings, Kramer showcased its comprehensive AVoIP portfolio, bringing together multiple 1G and 10G technologies designed to address a wide range of performance requirements and budgets.

Demonstrations included Kramer's 1G solutions, including the KDS-17 and KDS-100, as well as the debut of the new KDS-17 Lite. The KDS-17 family delivers visually lossless 4K60 4:4:4 video over standard 1Gb networks using JPEG2000 compression, combining high image quality with ultra-low latency. Meanwhile, KDS-100 provides H.264/H.265-based streaming for applications where efficient and scalable video distribution is a priority.

The newly introduced KDS-17 Lite is a cost-effective 4K60 4:4:4 transceiver that can be configured as either an encoder or decoder. Fully interoperable with the wider KDS-17 ecosystem, it provides a more accessible entry point for cost-conscious projects while supporting standardisation across a broader range of installations.

The complete 1G portfolio is centrally managed through AVoIP Manager, available in both cloud and on-premises versions. Supporting KDS-100, KDS-7, KDS-17 and ZUHD60 platforms, the management solution simplifies configuration, routing, monitoring and system management across installations of varying sizes.

For applications demanding uncompromised image quality and near-zero latency, Kramer also showcased its latest 10G SDVoE portfolio, including the ZyPer4K-XSE. Managed through the ZyPer Management Platform (ZMP), the low-power solution delivers uncompressed 4K video and centralised management capabilities for demanding AV environments.

Beyond video distribution, Kramer highlighted USB-C connectivity across key 1G and 10G product families, helping simplify system design while supporting modern BYOD and collaboration workflows. Native Dante support across the AVoIP portfolio further enables video endpoints to integrate within wider audio-over-IP ecosystems, connecting seamlessly with Kramer's Dante-enabled amplifiers and speakers to support complete, scalable AV deployments.

Commenting on the company's broader strategy, Dorit Bitter, EVP Product and Technology, said: “With a unified portfolio that spans 1G, 10G, video, USB, and audio-over-IP, Kramer is enabling AV systems that are simpler to deploy, easier to manage, and ready to scale. At InfoComm India 2026, we're demonstrating how true interoperability and standardization translate into real-world value for integrators and customers alike.”
