I don't understand how/why you would want to put an active piece of
electronics out of reach/sight of the operating position-especially
something powerful like an amplifier.  You don't know if it is operating
properly if you can't see the metering.  I'd at least have computer
monitoring and probably control.

If you have the computer interface up (KPA Utility), you can switch it on or off with the computer mouse.  Works great.  You must have KPA500 mounted under the operating position.

You may be able to write a macro on the K3 to do the same thing, haven't tried that.
