KXR 60 FRONT PANEL FUNCTIONS

A.CHANNEL 1 INPUT (1/4" Phone)- Plug-in connection for instruments. This balanced input can handle as much as 8V R.M.S.

B.CHANNEL 1 VOLUME- This control adjusts the pream- plifier gain of channel 1. It works in conjunction with the Master Volume control (item H) to set the overall loudness of the amplifier for Channel 1 only. Being a true “gain” control, it allows for the use of a variety of microphones, keyboards or other instruments with dif- fering output signal levels. Low-level instruments gen- erally require a higher Channel Volume setting, while “hotter” keyboards require a lower Channel Volume setting.

C.CHANNEL 2 - This channel is provided for an addi- tional instrument. Its input and volume control operate in the same manner as items A and B in channel 1. This channel is muted when nothing is plugged into its input, and thus will contribute no additional noise to the amplifier output when left unused. Both channels may be used simultaneously, however Channel 1 should be used first if only one input is needed.

D.EQUALIZER- The equalizer allows precise adjustments of the tonal characteristics of the amplifier. Each con- trol provides a 12 dB boost or cut to bands of frequen- cies centered about 100, 338, 1188, and 4000 Hz.

E.REVERB CONTROL- This control adjusts the amount of reverb to be mixed with the dry signal. The input to the reverb assembly is the sum of Channels 1 and 2.

F.EFFECTS SEND JACK- This jack provides an unbal- anced output signal from the preamp. This output can be used with the Effects Return jack (item G) as a patch point for mono effects devices. The Effects Send is connected to the input of the effect (digital delay or other effects device) and the output of the effect is con- nected to the Effects Return jack (Item G). The Effects Send can also be used to provide a signal to a record- ing or sound reinforcement mixer. In addition, this output can be used to drive another KXR 60 used as a slave amp. This is done by connecting a standard gui- tar cord from the Effects Send jack of the master amp to the Effects Return jack of the slave amp.
