Setting Up and Using Your Hartke KM60 and KM100 Keyboard Amplifier 6. Set the output of your keyboard to about 3/4’s the way up and then, while playing, slowly turn the main Volume control up until the desired level is achieved. If you hear distortion even at low amplifier Master volume settings, back off the output of your Keyboard (or check for a faulty cable). 7. Next, experiment with the KM60 or KM100's graphic equalizer. Begin by setting each of the seven sliders to their flat

Using the KM60 and KM100's Set-ups Using the Direct Output The KM 60 and KM100 feature a Direct Out jack for connencting to the main PA systems.

The signal out- put from this jack is low impedance (100 ohm) with an output level of approximately -30 to -20 dB. You can also use the Direct Out jack to route signal to a

About Equalization The Hartke KM60 or KM100 Keyboard amplifier gives you enormous control over shaping the sound of your keyboard rig, using a process called equalization. To understand how this works, it’s important to know that every naturally occur- ring sound consists of a broad range of pitches, or frequen- cies, combined together in a unique way. This blend is what gives every sound its distinctive tonal color. EQ controls allow you to alter a sound by boosting or attenuating speci

About Equalization Then, one by one, raise and lower each slider, listening carefully to the effect of each. Note that turning all EQ controls up the same amount will have virtually the same effect as simply turning up the main Volume; conversely, turning them all down the same amount will have virtually the same effect as turning down the main Volume. Both approaches are pointless (after all, that’s why we gave you a main Volume control!) In many instances, the best way to deal with
