KPM2000 DSP 4 CHANNEL 10 INPUT 19 inch RACKMOUNTABLE MIXER

Professional 4 channel + mic channel rack mixer with on board adjustable DSP effects and Crossfader FX.

Creative rack mixer with dual FX...

The new Kam KPM200DSP is a luxury limousine amongst 19” rack mixers. The key feature for most will be the inclusion of two sets of DSP effects. There are 8 different channel effects with editable parameter control and an illuminated routing system. In addition there are 3 Crossfader effects that are activated by crossfader movement. There is a bright blue LCD screen to keep the DJ informed at all times. The rest of the benefits of this mixer shouldn't be overlooked though. There is a professional and comprehensive set of connections that should accommodate even the most elaborate set ups. There is output level attenuation for the install engineer. Fader start for the CD DJ and plenty of refined classic mixing tools like swtiched split level metering and split cue monitoring. Build quality is of a very high standard so audio quality and feel are excellent. All round it's a great package that is superb value for money.

MIXER FEATURE DETAILS
•MAIN POWER SWITCH
•CHANNEL TRANSFORM SWITCHES - used to select the input source assigned to each channel. Each channel may only be assigned one input source at a time.
•CHANNEL GAIN CONTROLS - adjust the input level for each channel allowing the user to reduce or increase the sound level to compensate for quiet recordings.
•LEVEL INDICATORS - show a measurement of whichever signal is selected via the LEVEL INDICATOR SWITCH (5).
•LEVEL INDICATOR SWITCH - when set to Left/Right (L/R) the Level Indicators show a measurement of the stereo Master Output signal. When set to Cue/Pgm the Left Level Indicator shows a measurement of any channels routed to the Cue System via the PFL Buttons. When set to Cue/Pgm the Right Level Indicator shows a measurement of a combined mono Master Output signal.
•CHANNEL EQUALISER CONTROLS - All of the channels include a three-band EQ with a range of +10dB to -30dB. Turning the controls in a counterclockwise direction will decrease the appropriate Bass, Mid & High frequencies within a channel signal. Turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the appropriate Bass, Mid & High frequencies within a channel signal.
•CUE BUTTONS - used to route channels to the 'Pre Fade Listen' or 'Cue' system. The inset LED will glow when a channel is routed to the Cue system. Cue mode sends a channels incoming signal to the headphones before its level is set by the CHANNEL FADER (8). The listening level in your headphones is adjusted by the CUE LEVEL VOLUME CONTROL (12). Be sure the CUE MIXING CONTROL (11) is
turned to the “CUE” position to hear the selected channel source. More than one channel can be routed to the Cue system at the same time.
•CHANNEL FADER - used to control individual channel output levels.
•CHANNEL CROSSFADER ASSIGN BUTTONS - used to assign the channel to the crossfader. Button A assigns the channel to the left side and channel B assigns the channel to the right side of the CROSSFADER. The buttons light up when selected to provide a visual reminder that a channel is assigned to the crossfader.
•CROSSFADER - allows the user to mix smoothly between the channels assigned using the CHANNEL CROSSFADER ASSIGN BUTTONS (). When the fader is positioned fully to the left only the sound from channel A will be heard. When the fader is positioned fully to the right only the sound from channel B will be heard. When the fader is positioned centrally an even blend of both channels will be heard.
•CROSSFADER CURVE CONTROL - used to determine the shape of the crossfade curve. When fully clockwise the Crossfader has a very steep curve so acts like a switch. When fully anti-clockwise it delivers a shallow curve so that moving the Crossfader performs a much more gentle cross fade for blending.
•FADER START SWITCHES - used to set whether moving the Crossfader causes a Fader Start signal to be sent from the respective Fader Start outputs on the rear panel.
•HEADPHONE OUTPUT - connect your headphones here.
•SPLIT/PFL BUTTON - controls the way the monitoring circuit works. In the PFL (up) position any channel whose 'Cue' button is depressed plays back in stereo through both headphones. In the SPLIT (down) position what you hear in the headphones is determined by the CUE MIXING CONTROL.
•CUE MIXING CONTROL - selects the source for headphone monitoring. When it is positioned to the left you will hear only any music channels you have assigned to the Cue system using the CUE BUTTONS (7). When positioned fully to the right you will hear only the signal from the Master Output. When positioned centrally you will hear a blend of the two.
•CUE LEVEL VOLUME CONTROL - used to adjust the headphone volume.
•DJ MICROPHONE CONNECTOR - accepts 'unbalanced 1/4” (6.3mm) jack' or 'balanced XLR' plugs to connect a microphone to the mixer.
•MIC 1 VOLUME CONTROL - used to adjust the volume of the microphone connected to the front panel MICROPHONE CONNECTOR.
•MIC 2 VOLUME CONTROL - used to adjust the volume of the microphone connected to the rear panel MICROPHONE CONNECTOR.
•MIC EQUALISER CONTROLS - the mic channel include a three-band EQ with a range of +12dB to -12dB. Turning the controls in a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the appropriate Low, Mid & High frequencies within the signal. Turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the appropriate Low, Mid & High frequencies.
•TALKOVER BUTTON - When engaged the talkover function automatically decreases all signal levels (except the microphone), by -14dB whenever the microphone is used.
•EFFECT CUE BUTTON - assigns the output of the effects section to the headphones.
•FX ON BUTTON - switches the DSP Effects System on and off.
•EFFECT INPUT SELECT- used to choose which channel is processed by the DSP effects system.
•EFFECT SELECT - used to choose which of the eight effect types are used. The Effect types are; Echo, Auto pan, Flanger, Manual Filter, Auto Filter, Reverb Transform and Pitch Shifter.
•PARAMETER TIME - each Effect has an adjustable parameter that is assigned to this control. Turning this control alters the characteristics of the Effect.
•Y PARAMETER LEVEL & DEPTH - used to set the wet/dry mix or Depth of the currently selected effect.
•BEAT BUTTONS - The KPM2000DSP features an automatic tempo analysis feature that synchronises the Effects to the tempo of your music. These buttons determine the interval of Effect events in terms of beats. For example pressing the 1/4 button sets echoes etc to occur once every four beats, whereas the 1/2 button means events will occur twice every beat.
•TEMPO TAP - tap this button four times, in time with your music to override the automatic tempo calculation facility.
•CROSSFADER EFFECTS SELECT BUTTON - The KPM2000DSP features three 'Crossfade Effects'. These effects are linked to the Crossfader so that when the Crossfader is in the central position only the sound of music being processed by these effects will be heard. This makes a creative alternative to standard beat mixing. This switch has three position; A. FADER means the movement of the Crossfader controls whether the effects are heard. B. OFF means that Crossfader Effects are inactive. C. AUTO means that the CROSSFADER EFFECT SELECTION BUTTONS are used to trigger the effects.
•CROSSFADER EFFECTS SELECTION BUTTONS - the effect of these buttons is dependant upon the setting of the Crossfader Effects select button. When in FADER mode they simply choose between the three available effects; Echo, Zip & Roll. When in AUTO mode these buttons are used to start/stop the Crossfader Effects. 3@ MASTER OUTPUT VOLUME CONTROL - controls the master output level (volume). To avoid distorted output try to maintain an average output signal level of 0dB. Be sure this volume control is always set to zero before turning the unit on.
•MASTER OUTPUT BALANCE CONTROL - when positioned fully anti clockwise both sides of the Master signal will be routed through the Left connector of the BALANCED JACK (31) and the RCA (32) MASTER OUTPUTS. When positioned fully clockwise the signal is routed to the Right connectors. When placed centrally a stereo mix of both sides of the Master signal are spread across both Left & Right
connectors.
•ZONE OUTPUT VOLUME CONTROL - used to determine the signal level sent via the rear panel ZONE output connector. Commonly used to feed a DJ Booth Monitor System.

REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS
•VOLTAGE SELECTOR
•AC CONNECTION
•BALANCED MASTER OUTPUTS - Left & Right line level balanced XLR sockets.
•OUTPUT ATTENUATOR - adjusts the overall output level of the KPM2000DSP so that install operatives can set a maximum signal output level that will not damage the PA system.
•DIGITAL OUTPUT - S/PDIF coaxial digital audio output.
•FADER START OUTPUT SOCKETS - used to connect 3.5mm fader start cables from the mixer to the inputs of appropriately equipped CD players.
•UNBALANCED MASTER OUT - Left & Right line level Unbalanced RCA connectors
•ZONE OUT - Left & Right line level Unbalanced RCA connectors.
•REC OUT - Left & Right line level Unbalanced RCA connectors. The Record Out level is dictated by the CHANNEL FADER LEVEL (8), it is not influenced by the MASTER VOLUME CONTROL (32).
•DEDICATED LINE INPUTS - Channels 1, 2, 3 & 4 each feature a dedicated, stereo, unbalanced RCA audio input suitable for use only with devices like CD, Video & Tape players which produce a 'line level' signal.
•SWITCHABLE PHONO/AUX INPUTS - Channels 1, 2 & 3 each feature a stereo RCA input which can be switched between 'line level' and 'phono level' operation via the INPUT SELECTION SWITCHES (46). PHONO inputs are designed for use only with turntables which produce a low voltage 'phono' level signal.
•INPUT SELECTION SWITCHES - used to set signal input type for channels 1, 2 & 3.
•GROUND TERMINALS - Connect each of your turntable ground leads to either of the three ground terminals.
•MICROPHONE INPUT 3 - accepts a 1/4” Jack and used to connect a microphone that can be assigned to channel 4 via its CHANNEL TRANSFORM SWITCH.
•MICROPHONE INPUT 2 - accepts a 1/4” Jack and used to connect a microphone whose level is set via the MIC 2 VOLUME control.
