    The KM100 handles the job by delivering 100 watts of power, driving a custom designed Hartke 12” aluminum cone low frequency drive unit, working with a 1” titanium compression driver, enclosed in an innovative kickback cabinet, giving you a powerful full-range 2-way pro- fessional monitoring system.

    • Microphone input, plus 3 additional mono input channels. • The KM60 features 60 Watts of clean Hartke power while the KM100 provides 100 Watts, delivered to thier 2-way internal speaker system. • For rocking lows, the KM60 employs a 10-inch, custom designed Hartke Aluminum Cone Low Frequency Drive Unit and the KM100 emlpoys a 12-inch, custom designed Hartke Aluminum Cone Low Frequency Drive Unit.

    Graphic Equalizer - These sliders allow you to “draw” the tonal response of the system by adding 12 dB of boost or attenuation to seven different narrow-band frequency areas (100 Hz, 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1 kHz, 2.5 kHz, 5 kHz, and 10 kHz), affecting the main output signal of the KM100.

    � AC INLET - Connect the supplied standard IEC power cable here. Direct Output XLR - This connector carries the Balanced signal from the KM60 or 100's mixer output and can be used to connect to the main PA mixer.

Remove all packing materials (save them in case of need for future service) and decide where the amplifier is to be physically placed.
  • Page 9 If you have followed all the steps above and are still experi- encing difficulties, call Samson Technical Support (516-932- 1062) between 9 AM and 5 PM EST. 8. Your KM series amplifier features a AUX/CD input which you...
  • Page 10 PA system via a mic input on the console. 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 an external amplifier with a -10 dB input sensitivity.
  • Page 11 We carefully selected these frequency areas because they have maximum impact on keyboard signals. For example, the lowest slider (100 Hz) affects the very lowest audible frequencies (in fact, most humans cannot hear below 20 Hz), while the highest four sliders affects the mid-range and high frequencies.
  • Page 12 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.
