ABOUT JBL KX180
KX180 is a professional-grade digital processor designed for karaoke applications and provides a full set of audio processing for enhancing or fine-tuning music and voice. KX180 is equipped with three 6.5mm connectors for microphone input, two groups of RCA connectors and an optical connector for music input, and one pair of RCA connectors for recording out. It supports storage and recall of up to 10 presets and manual or auto control of Dance or Sing mode.
Echo, Reverb and Effect
KX180 offers five reverb effects: Room, Small Hall, Large Hall, Vocal and Custom.
In Custom effect mode, users are allowed to adjust the following parameters: Ear­ly Reflections Volume, Early Reflections Delay, Early Reflections HF Damping, Later Reflections Volume, Later Reflections Delay, Later Reflections HD Damp­ing, Reverb Space, Reverb Density, Reverb HF Damping, etc.
Among all the parameters, the HF damping will affect the color of the sound, the higher its coefficient, the more presence of high frequency you will get.

Under Auto control, detection of any active microphone input will automatically switch the system to the Sing mode from the Dance mode.
