KXR 100 Owner’s Manual

Congratulations on your purchase of the Fender KXR 100 keyboard amplifier. The Fender KXR 100 is the most recent effort in state of the art keyboard amplifier technology, and is a member of the FENDER KXR series. The design execution of the KXR 100 was carried out with the aid of some of today’s best musicians, and represents years of thought and consideration in determining features and specifications.

The KXR 100 is actually much more than a keyboard amp. With its heavy-duty Fender Special Design speaker and dual piezo-electric horn, it could actually be classified as a self-contained portable PA. system, suitable for almost any musical instrument requiring full-range reinforcement, for example electronic keyboards, acoustic/electric guitar, electric violin, and voice. Compact packaging and medium-level output power make the KXR 100 the perfect full-range instrument amplifier for rehearsal, studio, or small club performances.

The preamp section of the KXR 100 features three independent channels, a 4 band master EQ, and master reverb and volume controls. Each channel features a single 1/4 inch input jack and volume control. In addition to the 1/4 inch input jack, channel #1 features an XLR input jack for the connection of a low impedance microphone. The EFFECTS SEND and EFFECTS RETURN jacks can be used with a wide variety of effects devices, or as patch points for slaving multiple amps together. The EFFECTS SEND can also be used to connect your KXR 100 directly to a recording console or sound reinforcement mixer.

The HEADPHONE jack automatically mutes the speaker while driving stereo or mono headphones for private practice sessions. The HEADPHONE jack can also be used as another line level output. RECORD OUT RCA jacks are provided to deliver a line level preamp signal for tape recording convenience.

The rugged 80 watt power amplifier was designed to give years of reliable service under all conditions and is equipped with a unique implementation of our exclusive DELTACOMP™ adaptive compression system. When DELTACOMP™ engages, it is practically impossible to cause the power amplifier to clip (distort). With DELTACOMP™, apparent compressor release time is kept short, yet waveform distortion is kept to a minimum at low frequencies.

The selection of a Fender amplifier will reward you with years of quality music in a wide range of sonic possibilities. This manual is designed to familiarize you with the features and functions of your KXR 100 amplifier. Read this manual carefully so you will benefit from these features as soon as you start using your new Fender amplifier.

The built-in quality of a Fender amplifier is the result of over four decades of dedication in the combined skills of the Fender design team. That’s why we proudly say, FENDER.. The Sound That Creates Legends.
