INTRODUCTION

Your new Fender® KXR 60 Keyboard Amplifier is the result of Fender’s ongoing dialog with many of today’s top musi- cians. It uses state of the art technology to deliver clear, resonant and most importantly... musical sound.

The KXR 60 is actually much more than just a keyboard amp. With its heavy-duty, Fender® Special Design speaker and piezo-electric horn, it is a self-contained, portable P.A. system, suitable for almost any musical instrument requiring full-range sound reinforcement. This makes the KXR 60 ideal for amplifying electronic keyboards, acoustic/electric guitar, electric violin or voice. Compact packaging and medium level output power make the KXR 60 the perfect full-range instrument amplifier for rehearsal, studio or small club performances.

The preamp section of the KXR 60 features two indepen- dent channels, a four band master EQ, Reverb and Master Volume controls. Each channel features a single 1/4 inch Input jack and Volume control. The Effects Send and Effects Return jacks can be used with a wide variety of effects devices, or as patch points for slaving multiple amps together. The Effects Send can also be used to connect your KXR 60 directly to a recording console or sound rein-

forcement mixer. A tape player or drum machine can be mixed with the preamp signal (pre-effects loop) by using the Tape In jacks. The Headphones jack automatically mutes the internal speaker while driving stereo or mono headphones for private practice sessions.

The KXR 60's rugged 50 watt power amplifier was designed to give years of quality service under all condi- tions and is equipped with a unique implementation of our exclusive DELTACOMPTM adaptive compression system. With DELTACOMPTM, it is practically impossible to cause the power amplifier to clip (distort). Also, apparent com- pressor release time is kept short keeping distortion to a minimum at low frequencies.

Your selection of a Fender® amplifier will be rewarded with years of quality performance and a wide range of musical sounds. The built in quality of your Fender® amplifier is the result of over four decades of dedication in the combined skills of research and development by our engineers and musicians.

That is why we proudly say... Fender®, The Sound That Creates Legends.
