It pairs Class D amplification using a GaN FET output stage with AKM Velvet Sound converters and KEF's Music Integrity Engine (MIE) DSP, which applies processing matched to each connected KEF speaker model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKEF rates the KASA 8-240M at 240W into 4 ohms on a single channel and 135W per channel into 4 ohms with all eight channels driven, with up to 480W available per bridged pair into 8 ohms. It is the highest output model in the KASA range, for larger distributed and outdoor systems from a single 2U, passively cooled chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAmplification and
