This enables it to be left on with minimum power consumption. An indicator light on the front panel remains red when the LK240 is in standby and green when it is powered up, telling you at a glance the operational status of the LK240. - Page 10 The LK240 provides two input sockets to make it easy to daisy chain multi-amplifier systems, allowing you to boost the output power of your system, or take advantage or bi-amping and tri-amping. Loudspeakers can be bi-wired, or tri-wired to the LK240 by the use of the four loudspeaker sockets to obtain even higher sound quality.
- Page 11 To further enhance performance, you can use two or three LK240s to bi-amp or tri-amp to the loudspeakers, each LK240 driving the bass, midrange, and treble signals separately. When bi-amping or tri-amping the highest possible performance can be obtained by removing the passive crossover units from the loudspeaker and fitting active crossover modules to the LK240 to accurately divide the signal into the appropriate frequency bands.
