u 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 is a specially designed tone level controls. Kam Kill Cut will give you greater control when cutting and lifting the tone controls.

1) PFL ASSIGN
Each channel has a PFL assign switch. This should be activated when you wish to monitor that channel through the headphone circuit.
1! CUE ASSIGN CONTROL KNOB
This Controls which channel is monitored in the headphones. When the rotary control is fully anti­clockwise 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 to 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 two DJ/Mc or Vocalist microphones channels each have their own dedicated gain control , microphone on air toggle switch and autotalk override. NOTE: To achieve the best results from the 2 microphone channels check out our range of Kam Mics.
1$ MICROPHONE AUTOTALK
The Two toggle switches at the base of the microphone section have three positions OFF/AUTOTALK/ON. The OFF position the mic channel is off. In the on position the channel is on, without autotalk over. In the Autotalk Position the music level reduces while the microphone is in use and then automatically returns the music to normal level once the microphone is not in use.
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^ VOLTAGE SELECTOR
The KSP1500 is duel voltage (110 / 230V). Please ensure the correct voltage is selected for your country. Failure to set the correct voltage will cause damage to the unit.
1& POWER
The Power On LED will show the current status (lit = on). Ensure the mixer is turned off when connecting external equipment.
1* KAM PROFADE CROSSFADER
This allows the user to mix smoothly between both music channels selected on the crossfader assign.
1( CROSSFADE ASSIGN
To the left and right of the crossfader is a crossfade assign knob, which has an off position and selections 1-4. This control is designed to assign the crossfade position to the appropriate channel.
2) REPLACEABLE PROFADE CROSSFADER (not shown) You are probably already aware that this mixer comes with a FREE EXTRA KAM ProFADE crossfader.
Crossfaders are generally not guaranteed and are a chargeable item. The Team at KAM think that you should have a longer time to enjoy mixing and preparing to be a top class artist, so with two faders in the box, you will have twice as much time to enjoy this product and compared to other brands longer before you need to change any parts.
