KX-220Stereo Keyboard Amplifier

The Top Panel:

1:Level Control (channel 1–3):Adjust the input level of the sig- nal(s) with this control. Each channel’s level control governs the right/mono and left input jacks simultaneously.

2:Pan Control, (channel 1–3):This control proportions the signal between the left and right outputs. In stereo applications it acts as a left/right balance control.

3:Rev/Eff Send Control (all channels): Adjust the amount of signal sent to the internal reverb and external effect (if used) with this control.

4:Line Out Select Switch (channels 3 and 4): When this switch is pressed in, the signal is removed from the line out buss. (For example, if you want a click track or other signal in your amp but not in the house mix, press in the switch for that signal’s chan- nel. The signal will still be in your amp, but not in the mix at the line out jack. You hear it, the house doesn’t!)

5:Instrument Level Control (channel 4): An instrument level signal can be plugged directly into channel 4’s instrument jack (#16). Adjust the level of the instrument with this control.

6:Mic Level (channel 4): A low impedance microphone signal can be plugged into channel 4’s microphone input jack (#17). Adjust the input level of the microphone signal with this control. The adjacent peak LED (#7) will light when the signal is too hot.

7:Mic Level Peak LED (channel 4): This LED will light when the microphone input signal is near clipping. Under normal use, this LED might flash on peak signals. If the LED stays on, reduce the mic level control (#6).

8:Low and High EQ: Adjust the low and high frequency levels for channel 4 with these controls.

9:Pan Control (channel 4): This control proportions the signal between the left and right outputs.

10:Graphic EQ: Use this eight band stereo graphic equalizer to tai- lor the output of your amp to best suit your taste and room acoustics.

11:Effects Return: Adjust the overall amount of external effect (if used) with this control.

12:Reverb Return: Adjust the overall amount of internal reverb with this control.

13:Master Level: Adjust the overall output level of the amplifier with this control.

14:Line Out Level: Adjust the output level of the signal at the line out jacks (#19) with this control.
