CONNECTING AC POWER TO YOUR KB100
• Use only a grounded (3 prong) power outlet to prevent a shock hazard. This gives
the quietest grounding for the amplifier

• Channels one and two are line inputs. A keyboard or any unbalanced device such as
a drum machine can be plugged in using 1/4” phone plug shielded cables.
• Channel one features stereo RCA inputs for connecting devices such as disc players,
MP3 players, or tape decks. Both inputs can be used at the same time.
• Channel three is a line/instrument input. A keyboard or any instrument such as a
guitar or bass can be plugged in using a 1/4” phone plug shielded cable.
• Channel four is a microphone & line input. Plug a microphone into the balanced XLR
MIC
input using an XLR shielded cable. Plug a 1/4” shielded cable from a keyboard
into the
LINE
input. Both inputs can be used at the same time.
