Fender P/N 048502 owner manual Introduction

INTRODUCTION

Your new Fender® KXR 200 keyboard amplifier is the result of Fender's® ongoing dialog with many of today's top musi- cians. The KXR 200 uses state of the art technology to deliver clear, resonant and most importantly...musical sound.

The KXR 200 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 P.A. system. The KXR 200 is suit- able for almost any musical instrument requiring full-range reinforcement, for example, electronic keyboards, acoustic/electric guitar, electric violin and also vocals. Compact packaging and high output power make the KXR 200 the perfect full-range instrument amplifier for rehearsal, studio or performances.

The preamp section of the KXR 200 features four indepen- dent channels. Channels one, two, and three each feature a single 1/4 inch, high-impedance-input jack, a three- band equalizer, a channel volume control, an effects send control and a reverb send control. Emphasizing on vocal, channel four is equipped with a low impedance XLR jack in addition to the 1/4 inch jack. Furthermore, channel four also features a four-band equalizer centered around the vocal frequencies, while still covering the whole audible audio spectrum. Channel four is also equipped with a channel volume control, an effects send control and a reverb send control. In addition to the features mentioned above, each channel also possesses an independent effects loop insertion point on the rear panel. This feature makes the KXR 200 even more versatile.

The KXR 200 is also equipped with a master section which contains a master volume control, an effect return control, a reverb return control, an effects send jack, an effects return jack, and a line-out portion comprising of a 1/4 inch and XLR jacks.

The KXR 200 keyboard amplifier was designed to give years of reliable service under all conditions and is equipped with a unique implementation of our exclusive, defeatable DELTACOMPTM compressor system. When DELTACOMPTM is engaged, it is practically impossible to cause the power amplifier to clip (distort). With DELTA- COMPTM, apparent compressor release time is kept short, yet waveform distortion is kept to a minimum at low fre- quencies.
