SWITCHING ON

The Mains power switch (9) is located on the rear panel of the amplifier. This switch should be left ON for normal operation. If unattended for a long period, the Mains power should be switched OFF and the lead disconnected from the power supply.

When switched ON from the rear panel, your Kandy Power Amplifier will go to Operational mode and the MODE indicator light (1) on the front will glow RED. The amplifier is now ready for use.

1If there is no signal (or the signal level is very low) the MODE indicator light will change to AMBER after approximately 2 minutes

2If there is still no signal after approximately 15 minutes, the amplifier will revert to Standby mode and the MODE indicator light will glow GREEN

3As soon as there is a signal the Kandy Power Amplifier will ‘wake up’, the MODE indicator light will glow RED and after a couple of seconds the outputs will be activated.

USING THE TRIMMERS

Please refer to the rear panel views on page 4.

There are two Trimmers (1 & 2), accessible from the back panel, that can be utilised to reduce the input level to the individual channels and thus reduce the output level. In this configuration the input signal to that channel must be connected to its Trimmed Input socket only (not the Straight Input) and the selector switch must be set to Trimmed. When connected as such the gain on that channel can be reduced as indicated below.

NOTE: To avoid damage to the trim pots always use a good quality flat blade electrical trimmer.

L III specifications

The Roksan Audio L III is a high-fidelity loudspeaker designed to deliver exceptional sound quality, combining advanced engineering with elegant aesthetics. This speaker is a testament to Roksan's commitment to producing audio equipment that meets the needs of discerning audiophiles.

One of the main features of the L III is its sophisticated two-way design. It incorporates a 5-inch mid/bass driver and a 1-inch tweeter, which work together to create a balanced sound profile. The mid/bass driver is engineered using a lightweight, stiff cone material that enhances transient response and provides deep bass reproduction. The tweeter features a fine silk dome, ensuring smooth high-frequency response and remarkable detail without harshness.

The Roksan L III is built with a focus on acoustic efficiency. Its cabinet is meticulously constructed to minimize resonances, allowing for a more accurate soundstage. The internal bracing is strategically placed to provide additional support, reducing unwanted vibrations that can color the sound. The design of the cabinet also aids in controlling the bass response, resulting in a clean and articulate low-end.

Another hallmark of the L III is its versatile connectivity options, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into a variety of audio systems. The speakers can easily handle a wide range of amplifier powers, making them suitable for both small setups and more powerful systems. The impedance rating ensures compatibility with most amplifiers, providing users with greater flexibility in matching with their existing gear.

The speaker's aesthetic design is not to be overlooked. With a sleek and modern finish, the Roksan L III is available in various color options, allowing it to complement any home décor. The front grille can be easily removed, showcasing the beautiful driver design and adding to the speaker's visual appeal.

Roksan has also implemented advanced technologies in the L III to optimize performance. The speaker benefits from a proprietary crossover network that employs high-quality components, ensuring accurate frequency division and phase coherence. This results in a more natural sound representation, allowing listeners to experience their favorite music as intended by the artist.

In summary, the Roksan Audio L III is a remarkable loudspeaker that combines advanced technology, elegant design, and outstanding performance. With its carefully crafted drivers, robust construction, and versatile connectivity, it stands as a prime choice for those seeking a premium audio experience.
