2.Wiring Tips

Figures 2.1 and 2.2 show you how to connect your keyboard to the amplifier.

If you want to use an effects unit (for example, the BEHRINGER X V-AMP)

to experiment with some out-of-the-ordinary sounds, you can connect your keyboard directly to the input of the effects processor. Then, connect a second cable from the effects output to the input on your keyboard amp.

◊The built-in loudspeaker is disabled automatically when you plug in the headphones ( 7 ).

Fig. 2.2 shows a recommended setup for amplifying the vintage sound of your KT108 using a sound reinforcement system of any size. This way, you can also use your amp for playing live or for rehearsals with your band.

(1)Connect your keyboard to the INST. 1 INPUT connector, using a standard instrument cable equipped with 1/4" TS connectors.

The second instrument input (INST. 2 INPUT) can of course be used to connect a second keyboard or a drum computer.

(2)The volume of both instrument channels can be adjusted using the INST. 1 VOL and INST. 2 VOL control.

(3)Use the CD INPUT to connect the output of your CD player, tape deck, CD or MD walkman. This way you can play along to music or keyboard tutorial CDs.

This connector is a 1/4" TRS jack. If your CD player is equipped with cinch outputs, you’ll need an adapter cable, which you can buy at your local music shop. Illustration 4.3 in chapter 4. “Audio Connections” shows you what kind of adapter to buy. You can also use a mono cable (fig. 4.4). This will not damage your CD player or keyboard amp.
