r MASTER ATTENUATION
The master attenuation control on the rear panel controls the
overall output level of this mixer. It is used to adjust the
output level of the mixer to protect the input stage of the
amplification. NOTE: Please check the position of the master
attenuation if you are receiving low output levels from this
mixer.
t LED DISPLAY’S
The unit has three LED displays: Left output, Right output and
PFL. The left and right output display shows the signal level at
the master output and the PFL section shows the combined
level of the headphone output.
y GAIN CONTROLS
Each of the music channels has a rotary gain control. The gain
control adjusts the input level allowing the user to reduce or
increase the sound level to compensate for quiet recordings.
NOTE: care should be taken not to produce distortion with
these controls.
u TONE CONTROLS
Each channel has dedicated Bass, Mid and Top controls which
can be used to cut or boost specific frequencies. NOTE: Care
should be taken not to distort the output signal using these
controls.
i KAM KILL CUT
With so many different genres of music the design team at
KAM felt that all our mixers should have a more than
adequate control over the tone or eq of each audio channel.
The Kill Cut feature allows the user to completely remove
specific frequencies from individual channels.
o CHANNEL SELECTORS
These are used to switch between Line input and Phono input
on each channel.
1) CHANNEL LEVEL FADERS
These are used to adjust the output level for each channel.
NOTE: care should be taken not to produce distortion with
these controls.
1! PFL ASSIGN
Each channel has a PFL assign switch. This should be
activated when you wish to measure the signal of an individual
channel and monitor that channel through the headphone
circuit.
1@ CUE ASSIGN CONTROL KNOB
This Controls what is heard in the headphones. When the
rotary control is fully anti-clockwise the PFL circuit is
monitored, when the rotary knob is fully clockwise the master
output or PGM is monitored.
1# PHONES LEVEL
This controls the output volume of the headphones. Care
should be taken not to have this set too high as it could result
in damage to both the hearing of the user and the
headphones. The channel to be monitored is selected via the
cue assign control knob.
1$ MICROPHONE CONTROLS
The three DJ/Mc or Vocalist microphone channels each have
their own dedicated gain control, level fader an individual 3
band eq section and Autotalk system. NOTE: To achieve the
best results from the 3 microphone channels check out our
range of Kam microphones.
1% MICROPHONE AUTOTALK
This is a 3 position switch OFF/ON/TALK. In the OFF position
the mic' channel is off. In the on position the channel is on. In
the Talk Position the music level reduces while the microphone
is in use and then automatically returns the music to normal
level when the microphone is not in use. The override level is
adjustable via the mute control.
1^ MUTE LEVEL
Adjusts the level to which the music is reduced when the
Autotalk is in use.
1& ECHO ASSIGN, LEVEL, REPEAT AND DELAY
Each microphone channel is equipped with an echo send level
control. This will control the level of echo on the channel.
NOTE: The Master Echo ON/OFF switch needs to be activated
before any echo features work. With the echo ON/OFF switch
activated and a channel echo level turned up, you now can use
the master echo level, delay and repeat controls to create the
desired effect.
1* AUTO START FEATURE
Each of the four music channels has an auto start micro
switch on the fader. The mixer can be connected to a
compatible music source (KAM CD Players or CD player with
a +/- 5V pulse) via the mini jacks on the rear of the mixer.
When the fader is lifted the music source will begin to play.
When the fader is closed the music source will pause. For
further information www.kam.co.uk/remotestart.
1( SEND AND RETURN
In addition to the on board echo system the AUDIO PRO 1500
features a send and return facility for use with external effects
processing equipment. Pressing the individual channel send
switch routes sound to the external send output. The overall
level of output to the external component is controlled by the
send level control. The overall return volume is controlled by
the return level control. The signal from the return control is
combined with the master output signal.
2) VOLTAGE SELECTOR
The KSP1500 is duel voltage (110 / 230). Please ensure the
correct voltage is selected for your country. Failure to set the
correct voltage will cause damage to the unit.
2! POWER
The Power On LED will show the current status (lit = on).
Ensure the mixer is turned off when connecting external
equipment
2@ KAM PROFADE CROSSFADER
This allows the user to mix smoothly between both music
channels selected on the crossfader assign.
2# CROSSFADE ASSIGN
To the left and right of the crossfader is a crossfade assign
Knob. Positions 1-4 assign individual channels to the relevant
side of the crossfader. The off position bypasses the
crossfader and routes the individual channels directly to the
master output.
2$ REPLACEABLE PROFADE CROSSFADER (not shown)
You are probably already aware that this mixer comes with a
FREE EXTRA KAM ProFADE crossfader.
Crossfaders get more use than any other part of a mixer so
they are always the first thing to wear out. They are also
generally not guaranteed and are a chargeable item. The Team
at KAM think you deserve more time to enjoy mixing and
preparing to be a top class artist before you need to reach in
to your pocket to pay for a replacement. So with two faders in
the box, compared to other brands you will have twice as
much time to enjoy this product.

OVERVIEW
The KAM AUDIO PRO 1500 mixer is designed to give the
DANCE DJ, MOBILE DJ, KARAOKE ARTIST, PUBLIC HOUSE
AND SMALL CLUB INSTALLATION maximum flexibility and
features for minimum cost. This mixer combines all the
features required while maintaining a high level of build quality
and specification.
q INPUTS
KAP1500 is an 11 input mixer. All the music channels have
two separate inputs being a combination of Line/Phono or
Line/Line. The unit also features three dedicated microphone
channels with combination JACK and XLR inputs, 3 band eq
and separate override facility. The three microphone channels
have jack inputs on the rear panel and combination sockets on
the front panel. Care should be taken when connecting to the
mixer that the correct connections are made. Connecting a
CD player to the Phono input or a turntable to the Line input
can cause damage to the unit. When connecting a turntable
to the Phono input always use the signal earth cable from the
turntable to the ground point on the mixer. NOTE: always use
shielded signal cables to reduce hum and background noise.
The unit should always be switched off when connecting
cables.
w OUTPUTS
The unit has four outputs on the rear 2 x Master (1 x
balanced + 1 x unbalanced), 1 x Record and 1 x Booth. These
can be connected to either an external amplifier or tape deck.
Care should be taken not to distort the output signals (above
0dB on the meters) as this could cause damage to the
external equipment.
e MASTER / BOOTH OUTPUT CONTROL
These control the overall output from the mixer, from the
master output to the PA System and from the booth output to
the monitor speaker amplification. NOTE: care should be taken
not to produce distortion with these controls as this could
result in damage to both the unit and any external equipment
connected.
