Controls and
Operation
To achieve the highest possible sonic performance, the KX-R uses custom-designed rotary switches with solid-silver contacts for both the volume control and the input selector. These military-spec controls provide unsurpassed signal purity, as well as a virtually unlimited lifespan.
These rotary switches are actuated with precision stepping motors using aerospace “fly-by-wire” technology. Turning one of the knobs generates pulses via contactless optical encoders. A microprocessor decodes these commands and sends control signals to operate the stepping motors, resulting in a reassuring audible “thunk” as the switches are rotated.
