Fender KXR 200 - Manual (Page 3)

CHANNEL 1 INPUT (1/4 INCH) - Plug-in connector for
instruments. This balanced input can handle as much
as 8V R.M.S.
CHANNEL 1 VOLUME CONTROL - This control adjusts
the preamplifier gain of channel 1. It works in con-
junction with the Master Volume control ( item I) 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 instru-
ments with differing output signal levels. Low-level
instruments generally require a higher Channel
Volume setting while “hotter” keyboards will require a
lower setting.
CHANNEL 1 EQUALIZER - This equalizer allows
adjustments of the tonal characteristics of channel 1
before amplification. Each control provides a 12dB
boost or cut to bands of frequencies centered about
130, 540, and 4200 Hz. Note that all equalizer sec-
tions of the KXR 200 are designed so that if all center
frequencies are set at +12dB, a flat overall response
would be obtained. This is very useful if the signal
source is weak.
CHANNEL 1 EFFECTS SEND CONTROL - This control
works in conjunction with the effects send jack (item R),
effects return jack (item S), and the effect return con-
trol (item J) to , respectively, allow a desired amount of
preamp signal to be massaged, and to control the
amount of return signal that has gone through an
external effects device. The effects send control in con-
junction with the effects send jack could be used to
drive another KXR 200 as a slave amp. This is done
by connecting the effects send jack, with a standard
guitar cord, to the effects return jack of another KXR
200. Note that each channel could be set to send a
different amount of signal to the effects bus.
CHANNEL 1 REVERB SEND CONTROL - This control
works in conjunction with the reverb return control
(item K) to allow the amount of reverb to be mixed
with the dry signal. The amount of reverb-sent signal
is independent for each channel.
CHANNEL 2 AND 3 - These two channels are provid-
ed for two additional instruments. All the controls and
jacks operate in the same manner as those in channel
1. When not in use, it is best to turn the channel vol-
ume, the effects send and the reverb send controls all
the way down to avoid any amplification of unwanted
noise. Likewise, when not in use, the equalizer sec-
tions should be kept flat ( i.e. all knobs should be set at
12 O’clock).
CHANNEL 4 - This channel operates in the same man-
ner as the other three channels, but with the addition
of a few extra features: The XLR jack and an extra
band in the equalizer section. With the vocalist in
mind, the balanced, low impedance XLR jack provides
a suitable connection for a microphone. Furthermore,
the four-band equalizer was designed around the
