You are now the proud owner of the Crate KX-15 keyboard amplifier. This compact pow- erhouse offers warm clean tones and great, easy-to-use equalization. Each of the two input jacks has its own volume control so you can mix your keyboard with another instrument, a tape deck or a Hi-Z vocal mic. The Headphone jack allows for private practicing and the external speaker jack allows you to connect the amp to another speaker cabinet. Like all Crate products, your KX-15 is designed by musicians, and built using only the best components. Extensive testing at the hands (and ears) of skilled technicians and musicians insures you that this amplifier is the absolute best it can be. In order to get the most out of your new amplifier, we strongly urge you to go over the infor- mation contained in this manual before you begin playing. And thank you for choosing

3 KX-15 Keyboard Amplifier 1 2 LOW LO MID HI MID HIGH 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 KX-15 VOLUME INPUT ENGLISH FRONT PANEL: 1: INPUT 1: Use this 1/4 jack to connect your keyboard or other line level signal to the amplifier by means of a shielded instru- ment cable. The level at this jack is con- trolled by the Volume 1 knob (#3). 2: INPUT 2: Use this 1/4 jack to connect your keyboard or other line level signal to the amplifier by means of a shielded instru- ment cable. The level at this jack is con- trolled by the Volume 2 knob (#4). 3: VOLUME 1:Use this control to adjust the level of the signal connected to the Input 1 jack (#1). 4: VOLUME 2:Use this control to adjust the level of the signal connected to the Input 2 jack (#2). 5: LOW:Use this control to adjust the bass response of the amplifier. Rotating the control counterclockwise reduces the low frequency output. Rotating the control clockwise increases the low frequency out- put. It may be necessary to reduce the Low frequency output at higher volume levels. 6: LOW MID: Use this control to adjust the thickness: or fatness of the amplifier. Rotating the control counterclockwise reduces the lower midrange frequency out- put. Rotating the control clockwise increas- es the lower midrange frequency output. 7: HIGH MID: Use this control to adjust the clarity and definition of the amplifier. Rotating the control counterclockwise reduces the upper midrange frequency out- put. Rotating the control clockwise increas- es the upper midrange frequency output.8: HIGH: Use this control to adjust the high frequency response of the amplifier. Rotating the control counterclockwise reduces the high frequency output. Rotating the control clockwise increases the high frequency output. 9: EXTERNAL SPEAKER:Use this jack to connect the amplifier to an external speak- er. The internal speaker is disconnected when this jack is used. The impedance of the external speaker must be 4 ohms or greater. WARNING: Do not attempt to use head- phones in the Speaker jack! Permanent hearing damage could result! 10: HEADPHONES:Use this jack to con- nect headphones to the amplifier. The internal speaker is disconnected when this jack is used. A line level signal can also be obtained from this jack for recording, etc. CAUTION: To avoid possible damage to your hearing, so not use headphones for extended periods of time at extremely loud levels. 11: ON LED:This LED illuminates when the amplifier is turned on. 12: POWER:Use this switch to turn the amplifier on (top of the switch depressed) and off (bottom of the switch depressed). 13: POWER CORD (rear panel, not shown):The grounded power cord should only be plugged into a grounded power out- let that meets all applicable electrical codes and is compatible with the voltage, power, and frequency requiremnts stated on the rear panel. Do not attempt to defeat the safety ground connection.
