About the miniDSP KD-1
The miniDSP KD-1 “Kontrol Dial” is the perfect solution for miniDSP audio processor owners who want a more premium, tactile and informative interface than a traditional infrared remote. Compatible with the Flex, Flex Eight, SHD and SHD Studio models, the KD-1 provides a tactile dial with a built-in display for precise volume management, source selection, preset selection and more.
While miniDSP products are famous for their invisible, set-and-forget processing, the KD-1 brings that power to your fingertips with a beautiful high-resolution OLED display. It doesn’t just change the volume; it provides visual feedback on your current settings, including preset names and even metadata for streaming content.
Housed in a sturdy aluminium base with a smooth-action rotary encoder, the KD-1 communicates wirelessly via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) or Wi-Fi, allowing for a clean, cable-free look on your coffee table or desk (power is provided via a simple USB-C connection). Whether you are toggling Dirac Live or switching between your turntable and digital inputs, the KD-1 makes interacting with your system a joy.
Features
- Intuitive Tactile Control: A high-quality physical dial for smooth volume adjustments and menu navigation.
- Vibrant OLED Display: A 480 x 480 colour screen that displays volume levels, active input, preset and system status.
- Multi-Device Discovery: Scans your network/Bluetooth range for compatible miniDSP units, allowing you to select and control them with ease.
- Dirac Live Toggle: Quickly enable or disable Dirac Live room correction at the push of a button (on compatible units).
- Streaming Metadata: When used with the SHD Series, the KD-1 displays track and artist information from your Volumio-streamed sources.
- Robust Build: Features a heavy aluminium base to ensure it stays planted during use.
Compatibility
The KD-1 is compatible with a wide range of current miniDSP platforms:
- miniDSP Flex 2 in / 4 out via Bluetooth (BLE)
- miniDSP Flex Eight via Bluetooth (BLE)
- miniDSP SHD, SHD Studio and SHD Power via Wi-Fi
Note: Some units may require a firmware update via the miniDSP Device Console to enable KD-1 compatibility.
