Kramer unveils new premium Dante-enabled speaker range ahead of InfoComm India 2026 – latest AVoIP portfolio on show in Mumbai

Expanded range of passive and Dante-enabled speakers delivers premium sound, flexible deployment and simplified installation across meeting spaces, education, hospitality and more. Kramer will also be showcasing its comprehensive AVoIP portfolio, with the new KDS-17 Lite making its debut, alongside KDS-17, KDS-100 and ZeeVee SDVoE solutions.

Mumbai, India – Sept 10 – Kramer, a leading company in audio-visual experiences, is excited to announce it will be showcasing an expanded portfolio of premium professional speakers at India’s premier professional AV event, InfoComm India 2026, in Mumbai, including a new range of Dante-enabled models that extend the company’s range of networked audio solutions.

Exhibiting on booth L01 at the Jio World Convention Centre (Sept 16-18) – alongside thousands of technology leaders shaping the future of professional audiovisual and integrated experience solutions across India and South Asia – visitors will also experience Kramer’s latest AVoIP portfolio, with the new KDS-17 Lite making its debut, addressing a broad range of applications, performance requirements and budgets.

“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. 

An Expanded Range of Networked Audio Options

Spanning ceiling, wall-mounted, all-weather and pendant speakers in multiple form factors, Kramer’s growing portfolio combines premium sound quality, flexible deployment and integrator-friendly installation. With both passive and Dante-enabled options, the range gives system integrators greater flexibility to design audio solutions for a wide variety of environments, from meeting and collaboration spaces and education to hospitality, retail and other commercial applications.

The latest additions expand Kramer’s range of PoE-powered Dante speakers, providing system integrators with more options when designing modern networked AV environments. By carrying audio and power over the network, the Dante-enabled models help reduce cabling requirements and installation complexity while providing the flexibility and scalability 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 cohesive look throughout the installation.

This flexibility enables integrators to select the most appropriate audio architecture for each space and project rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

Premium Sound Across Different Environments

Designed for professional AV applications, Kramer’s speakers deliver high-quality, consistent audio with a strong focus on speech intelligibility and background music reproduction.

Advanced sound dispersion helps provide even audio coverage throughout the room, minimizing dead spots and helping ensure that speech, presentations and music can be heard clearly.

With multiple speaker types, sizes and deployment options, the portfolio can address the different requirements of corporate meeting and collaboration rooms, classrooms and higher-education environments, hospitality venues, retail spaces and other commercial applications.

Kramer has developed the speaker portfolio not only around audio performance, but also around the practical needs of the professionals who design, install and support AV systems.

Designed with System Integrators in Mind

Integrator-friendly features help simplify deployment and ongoing support. These include front-access wiring for ceiling speakers, designed to make installation easier, alongside centralized speaker utility software that supports configuration and troubleshooting.

Multiple form factors and mounting options give integrators additional freedom to adapt their audio design to the architectural, aesthetic and technical requirements of each environment.

Kirti Shetti, India Sales Director, Kramer, 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

Kramer will also showcase its comprehensive AVoIP portfolio at InfoComm India 2026, bringing together multiple 1G and 10G technologies to address a broad range of applications, performance requirements and budgets.

Visitors will experience Kramer’s 1G solutions, including KDS-17 and KDS-100, alongside its high-performance 10G SDVoE portfolio. Together, these technologies give customers and integrators the flexibility to select the right AVoIP architecture for each application while benefiting from interoperability, centralized management and a more consistent approach to AV deployment.

Kramer’s 1G portfolio combines complementary technologies for different application requirements. 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. KDS-100 provides H.264/H.265-based streaming for applications where efficient, scalable video distribution is a priority.

At InfoComm India, Kramer will also launch KDS-17 Lite, a new 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, KDS-17 Lite provides a more accessible entry point for cost-conscious projects and helps customers standardize AVoIP across a wider range of spaces.

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

High-performance 10G SDVoE

For applications demanding uncompromised image quality and near-zero latency, Kramer will showcase its latest 10G SDVoE portfolio, including the latest ZyPer4K-XSE.

The next-generation, low-power ZyPer4K-XSE delivers uncompressed 4K video with near-zero latency and advanced capabilities for demanding AV environments. Managed through the ZyPer Management Platform (ZMP), it enables centralized configuration and monitoring across high-performance 10G deployments.

Beyond video distribution, Kramer’s AVoIP portfolio brings USB and audio into the same connected environment. USB-C connectivity across key 1G and 10G product families helps simplify system design and support modern BYOD and collaboration workflows.

Native Dante support across the AVoIP portfolio also enables video endpoints to become part of the wider audio-over-IP ecosystem, connecting with Kramer’s Dante-enabled amplifiers and speakers to support complete, scalable AV and audio deployments.

“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,” said Dorit Bitter, EVP Product and Technology. “At InfoComm India 2026, we’re demonstrating how true interoperability and standardization translate into real-world value for integrators and customers alike.”
