Setting Up and Using Your Hartke KM60 and KM100 Keyboard Amplifier

6.Set the output of your keyboard to about 3/4’s the way up and then, while playing, slowly turn the main Volume control

up until the desired level is achieved. If you hear distortion even at low amplifier Master volume settings, back off the output of your Keyboard (or check for a faulty cable).

7. Next, experiment with the KM60 or KM100's graphic equalizer. Begin by setting each of the seven sliders to their flat “0” center detented position. Finally, move each slider in turn as you play your Keyboard. For more information, see the “About Equalization” section on pages 9-10 of this manual. Again, when you get a graphic equalization setting that complements your instrument and playing style, it’s a good idea to write it down for future use.

If you have followed all the steps above and are still experi- encing difficulties, call Samson Technical Support (516-932- 1062) between 9 AM and 5 PM EST.

8.Your KM series amplifier features a AUX/CD input which you can use with a portable CD player, cassette, mini disk or MP3 player to jam with pre-recorded tracks or learn a riff from a favorite tune. In fact, you can plug any line level signal into

the AUX input including the signal from a keyboard or drum machine. Connect the CD player or other Line level device to the AUX Input using standard RCA cable. You will want to use the volume control on the CD player or other Line level device to set the balance between the track and your keyboard. So, start with the volume control all the way down and slowly raise it until you reach a good balance with your keyboard

9. Test the headphone output by turning the Volume control to its minimum (fully counterclockwise) position and then connect a standard stereo headphone to the rear panel Phones jack. While playing your keyboard, slowly turn the Volume control up—you should hear sound from the head- phones and none from the connected speaker.
