CONNECTING MAINS POWER

Please refer to rear panel view on Page 4. The moulded IEC connector of the supplied mains lead should be plugged into the socket (10) on the rear of the unit first and then plugged into the mains supply. The Mains power switch (9) is on the rear panel of the Amplifier. This switch is normally left on. If the unit is likely to be unattended for a long period, switch it off and unplug the mains lead from the wall.

SIGNAL CONNECTIONS

Signal Input Connections:

There are two types of input on the Kandy Power Amplifier, the ‘T’ column of L & R

‘Trim-able’ Inputs (4) and the ‘S’ column of L & R ‘Straight’ Inputs (5).

Input Selector Switch (3) should be set to ‘Straight’ or ‘Trimmed’ according to the inputs that are intended for use.

All the inputs use Gold plated RCA Phono Connectors and should be connected according to the standard

convention –

Right Channel – Red;

Left Channel – Black or White.

Also in accordance with standard practice, the Upper row of Phono Sockets carries the Left Channel and the Lower row carries the Right Channel.

The Input Sockets are labeled with their legends upside down as well as the normal way up to assist you should you be connecting an input from a position in front of and above the amplifier.

Straight Input Connections:

First set the Input Selector Switch (3) to ‘STRAIGHT’. If you wish to use the amplifier for multi-amping with the Kandy Integrated or purely as a power amplifier, you should connect the pre out of your Kandy Integrated , pre-amplifier or surround sound processor to the corresponding Straight Input. The gain of the Kandy Power Amplifier is exactly the same as the power amplifier section of the Kandy Integrated Amplifier and therefore is ideal for Multi-amping (Bi-amping, Tri-amping etc.)

IMPORTANT NOTE: For optimum performance it is recommended to use high quality inter-connect cables such as ROKSAN HDC-02Ahigh definition analogue Cable.

Trimmed Input Connections:

First set the Input Selector Switch (3) to ‘TRIMMED’. If you wish to use the amplifier for Multi-channel A/V, directly connected to the Kandy DVD 5.1 Dolby Audio output, or as a power amplifier in an installation requiring its output level to be trimmed down, then the Trimmed Inputs should be used. (e.g. You should connect the Kandy DVD audio output to the corresponding Trimmed Input of the Kandy Power Amplifier)

These Inputs can then be fully trimmed down by using the Trimmers (1, 2) on the back

panel.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It is always better to use the Straight Inputs when there are no requirements for level adjustment.

LOUDSPEAKER CONNECTIONS

The Right and Left loudspeakers are connected to the amplifier via the rear panel binding posts (6) and (7) respectively. There are two basic types of cable –

Figure 8 cable has two insulated conductors that lie parallel, either side by side, or spaced by insulation.

Overall sheathed cable has both conductors insulated and enclosed in an overall plastic sheath.

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. Whether used for critical listening or casual enjoyment, the L III delivers sound that captivates and resonates with listeners.
