SERIAL NUMBER

20. MAIN OUT (EFFECTS SEND) JACK

The

MAIN OUT

jack is a post EQ output jack for pre amplifier signal access.   This

output is the same signal that is being fed to the internal power amplifier.  Use
this jack as your 

EFFECT SEND

when using external effects.    It will also drive an

external amp should you require more power.      

21. EFFECTS RETURN (AMP IN) JACK

The 

EFFECTS RETURN 

jack is the input return jack that completes the effects

loop.  This jack will interrupt the signal path when plugged into.  Plug the output
of your external effects unit into this jack.   

22. LINE OUT JACKS

The front 

LINE OUT

control sets the output level of these jacks.  They are fully

independent from the 

MASTER

control.

The

RIGHT

MONO-BAL

jack is a

MONO

, balanced 

TRS

(Tip-Ring-Sleeve) output

when used by itself.  When a plug is inserted into the 

LEFT/UNBAL

jack, the 

RIGHT

jack becomes a standard unbalanced output and you have a pair of stereo outputs.

The 

LINE OUT

jacks are generally used to connect your amp to the main mixer.

23. EXTERNAL SPEAKER JACK (CHASSIS)

The 

EXTERNAL SPEAKER

jack is for connecting additional speaker cabinets.  The

jack is configured so an external speaker cabinet can be connected in series with
the 

KB100

’s internal speaker.  Recommended external speaker impedances are 4

to 8 ohms.  Carvin recommends the 

112AG

extension speaker.

24. AC POWER

The detachable 

AC POWER CORD

supplied is designed to operate with one type

of voltage (the European 230V export model uses a CEE-7 plug cord set).    Make
sure the cord is securely inserted into the back of the unit.  Plug the cord into a
grounded “3” prong” power source.  No attempt should ever be made to defeat
or use the amp without the ground connected.  The internal switching power supply
will “auto-switch” from 100 VAC to 250 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz.  This allows the 

KB100

to be used in various countries without the need for modifications or external trans-
formers.

25. 1/4” SPEAKER INPUT

A 1/4” jack is used for connecting the amp to the speaker cabinet. 

26. 1” TITANIUM HF DRIVER L-PAD

The rear 

HF Driver L-Pad

adjusts the level of the HF Driver to give crisp clear

highs.  If distortion is heard when playing excessively loud, turn the HF Driver
down as it can amplify distortion.
