The TA240 is a stereo power amplifier from Kora, a French manufacturer known for considered electronics engineering, built with a flexible input sensitivity range. The TA240 brings Kora's considered engineering to dedicated stereo power amplification.

Key specs that matter

Input sensitivity spans a wide 500-5,000mV depending on gain setting. Input impedance is 20,000 ohms balanced or 10,000 ohms single-ended. Output power is 2 x 120W into 8 ohms, rising to 2 x 200W into 4 ohms. Frequency response spans 20Hz to 20,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. At 130 x 420 x 320mm and 19kg, the TA240 maintains a manageable power amplifier chassis reflecting Kora's considered French engineering standards.

Sound and use context

Expect a dependable, considered amplification character reflecting Kora's broader French engineering philosophy, with the substantial 200W-into-4-ohms output providing genuine authority.

Pairing

The wide 500-5,000mV input sensitivity range accommodates a broad variety of preamplifier output levels.

Alternatives

Kora's own TA480 offers a considerably more powerful alternative within the same broader power amplifier catalogue.
