KX-100 Keyboard Amplifier
1: Mic input jack will accept a low impedance balanced input,
such as a microphone, and may be used in conjunction with the
Line Input (#2).
2: Lineinput also provides Channel 1 with a 0dB balanced
input jack. It is suitable for a signal source from synthesizers.
3: Levelcontrols set the gain for each channel independently.
4: Peak Indicator LEDslight when the corresponding input
stages of the each channel are within 10dB of clipping. Adjust
each Level control (#3) until a strong signal from the instrument
or signal source causes the LED to flash.
5: Reverb/Effects Sendcontrols are used to set the amount of
reverb, as well as the amount of signal sent to the Effects Send
jack (#17) for each channel.
6: Phantom Powerapplies 15 volts to the Mic input jack (#1)
when this switch is pressed in.
7: Lowcontrol increases or decreases the bass response of
channel 1.
8: High control increases or decreases the treble response for
channel 1.
9: Inputjacks for Channels 2, 3 and 4 accept standard 1/4
phone jacks, and are suitable for a line level source such as a
signal from synthesizers.
10: Master EQhas five bands and enables you to shape the
tonality of the KX-100 to suit room acoustics. Frequencies from
100Hz to 10kHz may be boosted by moving the sliders up or cut
by moving them down.
11: Reverb Returnacts as the reverb master level control and
works with each channels Reverb/Effects Send control (#5).
12: Master Level controls the total output level of the KX-100.
13: Effects Returncontrol is a master volume for the Effects
Loop (#17 and 18) with which you can increase or decrease the
amount of effect desired. This control works with each channels
Reverb/Effects Send control (#5).
14: Balanced Line Out/Headphones Leveladjusts the level
for both the Balanced Line Out and Headphones jack and is
independent of the Master volume.15: Power Indicator LEDwill be lit when the unit is turned on.
16: Power Switchturns the AC power on and off.
17: Effects Loop Sendjack, when used in conjunction with the
Return jack (#18), provides a pre-EQ effects loop. The pre-EQ
circuitry reduces the unwanted noise associated with most
external effects devices. This output can be connected to the line
input of your external effects device.
18: Effects Loop Returnjack can be connected to the line out-
put of your external effects device.
19: Preamp Out jack provides a high impedance unbalanced
output for connecting the KX-100 to another amplifier or a tape
recorder. Simply run a cord from this jack to the input of the other
amplifier or the tape deck.
20: Power Amp Injack is used as a direct input to the power
amp. Plugging into this jack disconnects the direct (normal) con-
nection between the preamp and the power amp. This jack may
be used with the Preamp Out jack (#19) as an effects loop.
21: Balanced Line Outjack is a low impedance balanced out-
put for connection to an external amplifier or mixer with balanced
inputs.
22: Headphonesjack allows the use of stereo headphones.
Connecting headphones here does not disconnect the internal
speakers. For private listening, turn down the Master level con-
trol (#12).
23: Power Cord (rear panel, not shown): Your KX-100 is
equipped with a heavy-duty grounded three-wire power cord. Be
sure this cord is properly plugged into a safely wired grounded
120 volt, 60Hz AC power outlet before use. (If your KX-100 was
purchased outside the United States, refer to the rear panel for
power ratings.) For your safety, never attempt to defeat the
ground connection on this cord.

The KX-100 is covered with a durable black Tolex material: wipe it clean with a lint-free cloth. Never spray
cleaning agents onto the cabinet. Avoid abrasive cleansers which would damage the finish.
El KX-100 esta cubierto con un material durable Tolex: limpielo con una toalla seca. Nunca rocie el gabinete con sustancias
limpiadoras. Evite usar materiales abrasivos con los cuales pueda danar el acabado.
Le KX-100 est couvert avec «Tolex» un recêtement noir et durable. Essuyez cette matière avec une toile propre et sans charpie.
Ne pulvérisez jamais les agents de nettoyage sur l'appareil. Evitez les nettoyeurs abrasifs qui peuvent endommager le «Tolex.»
