Congratulations!
You are now the proud owner of the Crate XK15 keyboard amplifier. This compact power-
house offers warm clean tones and easy-to-use equalization. Each of the two input jacks has
its own level control so you can mix your keyboard with another instrument or a Hi-Z vocal mic.
The CD input also allows you to play along with your favorite music. The Headphone jack
allows for private practicing and the external speaker jack allows you to connect the amp to
another speaker cabinet.
Like all Crate products, your XK15 is designed by musicians, and built using only the best
components. Extensive testing at the hands (and ears) of skilled technicians and musicians
insures you that this amplifier is the absolute best it can be.
In order to get the most out of your new amplifier, we strongly urge you to go over the infor-
mation contained in this manual before you begin playing.
And thank you for choosing
