THEORY OF OPERATION

The Channel One input will accept a Balanced or Unbalanced signal via a ¼” Phone plug or a 3 pin XLR connector. U1B provides a gain of 1 for the ¼” input, and a gain of 10 for the XLR input. A balanced low level microphone connected to Channel One, allows the KXR 100 to function as a small self contained Vocal and Instrument PA system. U1B also rolls off high frequencies at about 128kHz.

Located within the negative feedback loop of U1A is the Channel One Volume control. It provides a minimum gain of 1, and a maximum gain of 15. At maximum gain, Capacitor C6 rolls off the high frequencies at about 47kHz. Channel’s Two and Three do not offer a low level XLR input Jack. They do offer a function that shorts across the Volume control via a switch contact in the ¼” input jack. This causes U2A and U3A to remain locked into a Unity Gain mode, disabling the Volume control, until a plug is inserted into the jack. This reduces noise in the input circuitry.

The three channels sum together and feed the Reverb Drive stage U4A and the Summing Amp U5A. U4B senses the return signal from the Reverb Pan. R70 and C47 provide a slight boost in the high frequencies, R29 and C20 roll off low frequencies. This produces a fairly bright reverb sound. To eliminate noise, C49 limits the high frequency response to about 5kHz. All ground connections in the Reverb circuitry are routed through a dedicated trace to the Star Ground point on the circuit board. This eliminates any bleed through of noise into other audio ground paths.

U5A sums the dry signal with the Reverb return signal and then drives the Equalizer circuit. Gyrators U6B, U7B, and U7A are used for the low (100Hz), Low Mid (338Hz), and High Mid (1588Hz)bands. The High band uses a single pole shelving filter (R47, C34) at 4kHz. U6A performs the Boost/Cut function, and also drives the Effects Loop.

The Effects Loop Send is capable of providing a pseudo balanced signal if desired. This helps to reduce hum. The Effects Loop Return will accept an Unbalanced or Balanced input.

U5B drives the Record Out jacks, and the Master Volume control. R55 and C40 boost the low frequencies at 220Hz. This boost is not desired at the Record Out jacks. Therefore C41 and R56 remove the Low boost. This allows the Record Out to see the same signal as the input channels, plus any tone shaping from the Equalizer. Between the ouptput of U5B and the Master Volume control, C43 and R60 boost high frequencies. The boost in Low and High frequencies provide a Smile Curve response.

The signal and ground line from the Master Volume control feed through a Flex Jumper to U2A, which is on the Power Amp circuit board. Any Hum induced into the signal and ground line is canceled by the Common Mode Rejection at U2A.

Using R71 and C60, U2A provides the high frequency pre-emphasis from about 1kHz on up. This prevents compressor “pumping” caused by very low frequencies. The increase in high frequencies prevents repetitive releases by the compressor when triggered by low frequencies. De-emphasis occurs just prior to the speaker connections, on a small break-away circuit board that contains R72, R73, and C61.
