will switch to Standby (the LED will blink) when the button is pressed.
2 DC INPUT jack: The included AC adapter is connected here.
3 MASTER VOLUME knob, CLIP LED: Adjusts the volume of the KONNECT. Rais -
ing the volume too high may cause the sound outputted from the speaker to sound
unnaturally distorted, and the CLIP LED may light. If this happens, adjust the
volume with the MASTER VOLUME knob until the CLIP LED goes dark.
4 REVERB LEVEL & TYPE knob: The reverb type and effect depth can be adjusted,
according to the position of this knob. When this knob is fully turned to the left, the
reverb will be turned off.
5 LIMITER LED: This LED lights when the limiter is in operation. If the volume is
raised too high, the LIMITER LED will light, and the volume will be automatically
limited.
6 FEEDBACK SUPPRESSOR button, LED: This switches the FEEDBACK SUPPRES -
SOR on (the LED will light) or off. Turning this on will cause feedback to be sup-
pressed. (Available only in the channels 1 and 2)
7 (Bluetooth) pairing LED: This LED lights when the KONNECT is connected to
an external device via Bluetooth. (Refer to “Connecting to the KONNECT App via
Bluetooth”.)
8 Channel selection buttons and LEDs: Selects the channel that will be controlled
by the channel VOLUME, VOICING knobs. The LED for the selected channel will
light.
Tip: When playing back music from an external device connected via Bluetooth, input chan-
nels 3 and 4 (3/4) are used.
9 VOLUME knob, CLIP LED: This adjusts the volume of the channel that was se-
lected using the channel selection buttons. If the levels going into the channel are
excessive, the CLIP LED will light. If this happens, lower the volume of the device
on the channel, until the CLIP LED goes dark.
10 VOICING knob: The VOICING type and effect depth can be adjusted, according to
the position of this knob.
Tip: “VOICING” includes the optimal equalizer settings that match the characteristics of
each device connected to the KONNECT and the background music to be played.
11 CENTER CANCEL button, LED: This switches center cancel on (the LED will light)
or off for channels 3/4. When center cancel is switched on, the volume for only the
vocals or guitar sounds in music played by devices that are connected to the KON -
NECT can be decreased.
12 MIC and MIC/LINE input jacks for channel 1: Use this input for dynamic mics
or LINE output level devices.
13 MIC/LINE switch: Switches between either MIC level or LINE level on the MIC/
LINE input jack for channel 1.
Tip: When connecting a passive-type guitar or other instrument (one that does not use a
preamp), connect the instrument to a commercially available preamp or effector first,
and then connect the preamp to the LINE input jack of the KONNECT.
14 MIC and LINE input jacks for channel 2: Use this input for dynamic mics and
LINE output level devices.
15 STEREO INPUT jack for channels 3/4: Use this jack to input a stereo LINE output
level device into channels 3/4.
16 L/MONO INPUT and R INPUT jack for channels 3/4: Use these jacks for inputting
the L and R signals from a LINE output level device. (When using just the L/MONO
INPUT jack, channel 3/4 will operate as a single channel in monaural mode.)
