KS-6002 EQ Compressor
quencies to be cut or boosted by up to 12 dB. These controls
are center-detented, with a “click”, so that it is easy for you to
tell, even without looking, when a band is flattened.
Equalizer band frequency select controls (per channel)
Each channel has two controls allowing you to set the center
frequency of each band. The low center frequency can be set
between 200 Hz and 3.2 kHz. The high center frequency can be
set between 1.2 kHz and 15 kHz.
EQ ON switch (per channel)
Each channel’s EQ circuit can
be switched into (switch is up) and out of (switch is down) the
signal path using this switch.
Compressor ON switch (per channel)
Each channel’s com-
pressor can be switched into (switch is up) or out of (switch is
down) of the signal path using this switch.
Compressor indicator (per channel)
These indicators light
when the compressor is switched into the signal path and the
input signal exceed the threshold (that is, the compressor is in
operation).
Compressor LINK switch (per channel pair)
Links odd- and
even-numbered channels’ compressors (1-2, and 3-4), so that
when a signal is received at either channel of the pair that goes
above the threshold for that channel, both channels’ compres-
sors are triggered together.
Power indicator (only one)
Shows that the equipment pow-
ering the KS-6002 is switched on and supplying power to the
KS-6002.
Note that the KS-6002 does not have its own power switch.
Power is supplied only through the connector linking the KS-
6002 to the other unit.
Also note that when a signal is passed through the KS-6002
with both EQ and compression active, battery consumption on
the “host” unit is about 1.5 times that when no signal is being
passed through. Equalization does not use battery power to a
significant degree, but if you wish to extend the battery life of
the “host” unit, turn the compression off for all channels where
it is not needed.
