1) AC POWER CORD RECEPTACLE: Insert the AC cord (provided) firmly into the AC connector. NOTE:

Replace the AC power cord if protective jacket is damaged or ground pin is damaged or removed. The fuse

is located in a housing just below the receptacle. Replace only with same type and size. To remove the fuse,

remove AC power cord and pull out on the tab above the fuse symbol located on the fuse carriage. Place the

new fuse in the carriage clip and re-insert.

NOTE: To prevent an electrical hazard, DO NOT replace fuse without using the fuse carriage. Replace the fuse carriage if lost

or damaged before re-inserting the AC power cord.

2) FUSE: The fuse is located in a fuse tray just below the receptacle. Replace only with the same type and

size. For your convenience, a spare fuse is located inside the fuse tray toward the front. To replace fuse,

remove AC power cord. Remove fuse tray by pulling the tab located above the fuse symbol away from the

receptacle.

3) Provides AC power to the amplifier when in the "ON" position.

4) Line Out: This balanced jack is designed to connect the KDA200 amplifier to a recorder or live mixer. This

output is very useful for direct recording, and especially helpful for live applications since it eliminates a live

microphone on stage and the resulting feedback potential.

If using an XLR to 1/4" Cable, Pin 2 is tip ( + ) and Pin 1 & 3 sleeve ( - ).

6) Line Out Volume: This controls the output level of the Line Out Jack. If the Line Out Jack is overdriving a live

mixer or recorder, try turning down the Line Out Volume to minimize distortion.

5) Ground Lift: The Ground Lift switch disconnects pin 1 of the XLR Line Out jack to eliminate a "ground loop"

hum. A ground loop can exist when the KDA200 and the device it is plugged into are connected to grounded

outlets that are in physically different locations and/or on different circuits, and should only be used if there is

an audible hum. Sliding the ground lift does not disconnect the ground connection from the KDA200's chassis.
