LINN LK140
The LK85/140 and music
The LK85 and LK140 are rugged high output amplifiers
designed for ease of use and purity of sound.
You can build exactly the system you want, using
one or more LK85/140 amplifiers. The LK85 gives
85W per channel into 4 1, or 62W per channel
into 8 1, and so is ideal for most average-sized
rooms. Alternatively, additional power is available
from the LK140, which gives 140W per channel
into 4 1, or 95W per channel into 81.
The LK85/140 comes in a durable compact case built to last, and
easy to stack on other Linn products. The amplifier has been
designed to power up automatically when it detects the presence
of an audio signal and power down into standby mode when there
is no signal. This enables it to be left on with minimum power
consumption. An indicator light on the front panel remains red
when the amplifier is in standby and green when it is powered up,
telling you at a glance the operational status of the amplifier.
If the LK85/140 is not going to be used for a long period of time,
we recommend that it is switched off using the front panel mains
switch.
The LK85/140 comes with full protection against power overload
and overheating, automatically shutting down to prevent damage
to itself or other Linn equipment, and powering back up when it is
safe to do so.
