•2 Stereo Channels

•2 Phono/Line Convertible Inputs

•Punch Out for Channels I and II

Cautions

1.All operating instructions should be read before using this equipment.

2.To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not open the unit. There are NO USER REPLACEABLE PARTS INSIDE. Please refer servicing to a qualified service technician.

In the U.S.A., if you have any problems with this unit, call 1-800-476-8633 for customer service. Do not return equipment to your dealer.

3.Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or to a heat source such as a radiator or stove.

4.This unit should be cleaned only with a damp cloth. Avoid solvents or other cleaning detergents.

5.When moving this equipment, it should be placed in its original carton and packaging. This will reduce the risk of damage during transit.

6.DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

7.DO NOT USE ANY SPRAY CLEANER OR LUBRICANT ON ANY CONTROLS OR SWITCHES.

2.Then turn the power off before moving the GROUND LIFT SWITCH (5). Lift the ground by moving the GROUND LIFT SWITCH to the right, turn the power back on and listen to determine which position will provide a signal devoid of background noise and hum. Keep the GROUND LIFT SWITCH in the ground position if the noise level remains the same in either position.

CAUTION: Do not terminate the AC ground on the unit in any way. Termination of the AC ground can be hazardous.

Operation

1.POWER ON: Once you have made all the equipment connections to your unit, press the POWER (10) switch. The power will turn on and the POWER LED (11) will glow RED.

2.KILLING FREQUENCIES: There are two ways to kill frequencies, using the LOW (13, 16), MID (13, 16) and HIGH (22, 23) KILL SWITCHES. Each Kill Switch has three positions, latch, normal and flash. When you move the selected KILL SWITCH to the top LATCH position, the switch will stay there, and the frequency will be killed. When you move the selected KILL SWITCH to the center position the kill function is not active, and the frequency will not be killed. When you move the selected KILL SWITCH to the bottom FLASH position and hold it there, the frequency will be killed. Releasing the selected KILL SWITCH from the bottom position will bring it back to the center position and the frequency will no longer be killed.

SUGGESTION: You can use the Kill Features on each channel to remove Low, Mid and/or High bands for a smoother mix and to mix frequencies from both channels to create special effects.

3.PUNCH OUT: The PUNCH OUT BUTTONS (12, 19) allow you to remove a channel’s signal from the mix. Press and hold down the PUNCH OUT BUTTON (12) to remove channel 1’s signal from the mix. Press and hold down the PUNCH OUT BUTTON (19) to remove channel 2’s signal from the mix. Releasing the punch out buttons will bring back the signals to your mix.

SUGGESTION: If you are using a mixer, keep the crossfader in the center and use the punch outs of both channels together to create scratch type effects.

Connections

1.Make sure that the POWER (10) switch is in the OFF position. This unit comes supplied with a 15 volt AC adaptor. Plug the male pin of the adaptor into the rear panel POWER JACK (9). Then plug the adaptor into a proper power source.

2.The KL-1 is supplied with 2 sets of OUTPUT JACKS (1, 6). The OUTPUT JACKS (1, 6) can be used to connect the KL-1 to the line inputs of your mixer, amp or any device that accepts line inputs.

3.On the rear panel are 2 stereo PHONO/LINE (2, 7) inputs. The PHONO/LINE SWITCHES (4, 8) enable you to set the (2, 7) inputs to Phono or Line. The phono inputs will accept only turntables with a magnetic cartridge. A GROUND SCREW (3) for you to ground your turntables is located on the rear panel. The stereo line inputs will accept any line level input such as a CD player, a cassette player, etc.

Using the Ground Lift Switch

Depending on your system configuration, sometimes applying the ground will create a quieter signal path. Sometimes lifting the ground can eliminate ground loops and hum to create a quieter signal path.

1.With the unit on, listen to the system in idle mode (no signal present) with the ground applied (the GROUND LIFT SWITCH (5) in the left position).
