Turn all gain controls on your amp(s) all the way down and apply power to your amps. While passing audio, through the KX100, slowly increase the amp gains to the desired listening level while ensuring the amplifiers do not clip.
This dual function encoder allows you to load presets, navigate within menus, and edit processing parameters. Navigation Buttons These buttons allow you to navigate through the different menus within the KX100. Here’s a brief description of these buttons: • INPUT – Enters the Audio/Video Input Menu.
Power Jack Connect the supplied power supply to this jack. USB Port This port allows you to connect the KX100 to a Windows PC for control using the KX100 Software GUI and for firmware updates. EXT Remote Jack Use this jack for connecting a third party remote control.
KX100 Section 2 Getting Started 2.4 Remote Control This button will turn the FBE (Feedback Elimination) on and off. PRESET EFFECT These buttons allow you to select and load a preset. Effect This will adjust the effect volume up and down.
User Code 9F When the USB port on the KX100 is connected to a PC, the Remote and External Remote interfaces will be disabled. The External Remote interface module will have to remove the 38 kHz carrier frequency and allow the coded signal to be sent to the External Remote interface jack.
2.6 Menus & 2.6 Menus & Navigation Navigation This section will walk you through the different menus within the KX100 and how to navigate the device. The Display The Display allows you to access the different menus, so you can edit the various parameters.
KX100 Section 2 Getting Started The Input Button The Input button allows you to select your Audio/Video Input source. For additional information on the selectable parameters, see section 3.14 ‘Additional Input Parameters’ . • Selecting Input Sources 1. Pressing the Input button will enter the Audio/Video Input Menu. From this menu, turn the Adjust/Select knob to make your desired selection.
KX100 Section 2 Getting Started The Menu Button The Menu button allows you to enter the Main Menu for processor setup. When pressed multiple times, it also sequences through the available selections within the current menu. • Navigating the Main Menu 1.

KX100 Section 2 Getting Started The Exit Button The Exit button allows you to back out of menus and get back to the home screen. • Exiting Menus Pressing the Exit button will back up one menu level. Pressing and holding the Exit button for 2 seconds will exit out of any menu, regardless of how deeply nested it may be, and take you back to the home screen.
KX100 Section 3 Processing & Parameters 3.2 Automatic Gain Control (AGC) Automatic Gain Control is a dynamics process which compensates for the differences in level between varying music sources, thereby allowing you to effectively raise lower level music material for a more consistent level.
KX100 Section 3 Processing & Parameters 3.4 Dance Mode Dance Mode is used to switch between using the PA system in a dance club environment (Dance Mode) or for karaoke use (Sing Mode). When Dance Mode is turned on, the subwoofer can be enhanced for dance club use.
KX100 Section 3 Processing & Parameters 3.6 Echo The Echo effect consists of delays which generate the artifical echos. In an echo effect, the processed signal is mixed with the unprocessed signal and is used to make a singer’s voice sound more interesting.
Feedback Elimination prevents microphone feedback when audio levels are high. The Feedback Elimination in the KX100 is automatic and simply needs to be turned on when you want to use it. There are no menus for the Feedback Elimination algorithm.
KX100 Section 3 Processing & Parameters 3.8 Limiter The Limiter is a dynamic range process. When the output signal reaches a certain level (defined by the threshold parameter) the Limiter kicks in and keeps the signal level from going any higher, preventing the output signal from overdriving amplifiers and/or loudspeakers.
Parametric EQs allow you to shape the tone of the audio signal. Sometimes these EQs are needed at various stages of the signal path. The KX100 has Output Parametric EQs (for equalizing the overall sound system) and Input Parametric EQs (for shaping the tone of the input sources).
KX100 Section 3 Processing & Parameters 3.12 Pitch Pitch is an intelligent pitch shifter for broadband music sources. It allows you to adjust the pitch of the music source to fit within a vocalist’s range. Pitch Parameters The Pitch algorithm contains the following parameter: • Music Pitch (♭7...
KX100 Section 3 Processing & Parameters 3.13 Reverb Reverb is the ambient sound of various live environments such as clubs, studios, concert halls, etc.. Much like the Echo effect, it is used for enhancing the sound of vocals to make them more interesting.

KX100 Section 3 Processing & Parameters • Reverb PreDelay (0 - 200 ms, range is preset dependent) - This parameter adjusts the amount of delay time before the reverb effect becomes audible. Higher values can create the illusion of a much larger room as it mimics the time that it would take for reflections from very distant surfaces to reach the listeners ears.
KX100 Section 3 Processing & Parameters 3.14 Additional Input Parameters There are some parameters which don’t necessarily pertain to any of the processing algorithms previously listed, but do pertain to certain inputs. This sub-section covers these additional input parameters. • VOD - Selects the VOD audio and video inputs as the source.
The KX100 contains the following Utility parameters: • Remote Input (Int, Ext) - This parameter selects the remote control source, whether it’s the included JBL remote (Internal) or a third party remote control plugged into the EXT Remote Input (External).
Section 4 - Appendix 4.1 USB Port/Software GUI The USB port is used for updating the KX100 firmware and for connecting to the included KX100 Software GUI for control. Follow these steps for setting up the Software GUI for communication with the KX100 processor: Insert the included CD Rom into your computer’s CD-Rom Drive.
To perform the Factory Reset procedure, please follow these steps: Turn off the KX100. While pressing and holding the Store button, apply power to the KX100. Keep holding the Store button until the following message appears in the display: ‘FACTORY RESET...
