-Quick Start Setup-
Set the KP-100S volumes to zero. Turn all EQ and the expander to normal “N” position. Set your
keyboard or sound source volume to 50%. Increase the KP-100S instrument and/or microphone
volumes to desired level.

-What to Expect-
The quality of the stereo 3D expander is totally dependent on a good stereo signal source; it will
NOT create a stereo image from a mono source. The KP-100S is ideally placed in back of you at
about 2 ft. above the floor. Your position should be at amplifier center for best expander stereo
effect.
Experience has shown that placing the amplifier on the floor can provide more bass, but depending
on how close you are to the KP-100S, you may not hear enough treble. Tilting the KP-100S back
slightly can help direct more “highs” toward you. All rooms will sound different; experimenting
with amplifier placement can improve the sound to you and your audience.
-Control Panel-
Inputs: Two sets of unbalanced ¼ stereo pairs. If you have a mono signal and want both channels
to respond use the right/mono input. All inputs are available simultaneously.
Microphone Inputs: A balanced XLR and unbalanced ¼” input is provided, they can be used
simultaneously. The microphone volume controls both inputs and the tone controls are global for
all inputs.
Expand: Expand control increases the stereo spread. The control is totally dependent on the
quality of the stereo source. Mono = No expand. Too much expand may change the tone of some
sounds. Use only enough for effect and then readjust the channel EQ if needed. A typical setting
is 3-5.
Bass: <150Hz. Low frequency boost/cut. If you have a bass player, set this at about 3-5. Bass
uses a lot of power and can make your sound muddy, adjust carefully to preference. If you use the
<100Hz sub-woofer output, read that section first.
Middle: Controls frequencies from 150 Hz to 3 kHz. This is the most important frequency range of
many instruments. Set at 5 and then vary according to preference.
