KX1200
KX1200 Perfect keyboard sound, compact PA and
more.
While most of us were admittedly busy designing and building amps and
accessories for guitarists and bassists, a couple of us were thinking hard about
what we could do for people like keyboard players, solo entertainers, electronic
drummers and folks that need PA facilities but can’t lug a complete system.
Although guitar and bass sounds are far from being as straight-ahead as they
were 20 years ago, the amplification needs for these instruments are still
fairly easily defined. When it comes to the above-described applications it’s a
whole different ball game. Here, you’re dealing with a tremendously broad range
of sounds, whether it’s keyboards or electro-acoustic guitars, possibly with
microphones, or a combination of tape, CD, MD or sound card signals and
microphones for a presentation. About the only common denominators here are
power, precision and flexibility.
At home, in the rehearsal room, on smaller stages or in a conference room or
trade show booth, you need an amplification solution that’s compact and light
enough to be easily transported and fit in a tight space, yet powerful enough to
cut through, precise enough to reproduce your sounds accurately and flexible
enough to handle a wide variety of signals. Instrumentalists will also
appreciate the KX1200 as a dedicated monitoring system on larger stages,
eliminating the need to compromise between hearing themselves and the rest of
the band.
With all this in mind, we set out to build a combo that would cover all of these
needs in a straight-forward, no-frills fashion, yet offer convincing audio
quality and road-proof reliability. With its bass reflex cabinet, specially
designed 3-way speaker system and powerful 120-Watt RMS amp, the KX1200 will
reproduce just about anything with extreme power, punch and clarity. Four line
inputs plus an additional balanced XLR mic input along with basic mixing
functions arm you to deal with various signals. Each of its four channels
features independent volume and effects send controls for the integrated effects
loop. The master section offers an extremely effective and musical active 4-band
EQ, a master volume control and a headphones out. The stereo tape I/O enables
you to connect stereo signal sources or record your mix with no loss of channel
inputs, while the balanced DI out arms you for professional recording
applications. And if you should need extra power or dispersion, the main out
enables you to connect external power amps and speakers. The KX1200 integrates
all of this in an attractive, ruggedly constructed cabinet with rugged black
vinyl covering, large chrome steel corners and recessed die-cast handles, to
give you a compact, flexible and great-sounding amplification/monitoring system
that won’t let you down no matter what’s up |
