This new Keene in-wall DIGITAL amplifier (KLAB20D) with built-in FM radio is a unique product ideal for use in multi-room audio installations, especially
if placed in a room with moisture present. It is a high quality stereo audio digital amplifier that can fit onto a standard standard sized UK double
gang back box or a surface mount pattress box with a depth of 25mm. It provides 20 Watts per channel RMS of amplification (when using 4 Ohm speakers) eliminating the need to make space for a
conventional amplifier. It draws its own power from an externally located mains adaptor and control is by buttons within the flexible front cover or by infra red remote.
The KLAB20 amplifier is ideal for single room solutions with a single input source such as an iPod dock.
By connecting the iPod dock directly to the
in-wall amplifier, you can create a very neat solution, dispensing with the audio input input plate of the iPort iPod dock. Wire the audio
output to a pair of in-ceiling speakers (4 or 8 Ohms) to complete the package.
Alternatively, you can use the KLAB20D with another source say a computer, and just plug your MP3 player into the front for occasional use.
NB. Both the KLAB20 and the iPort iPod dock
come with low voltage DC power supplies. The power supply for the KLAB is a 15V 4A DC trailing type type (eg like a laptop power supply - see photo below). If you
intend permanently wiring in the power supply
we would suggest using either a 2.1mm DC extension lead
or an Apex 2 x DC faceplate module. The latter can also be used to provide the second extension lead for
the iPort iPod dock.
