decks) connections. Channels 2&3 have additional RCA type line level inputs. Channel 1 has an additional 1/4" jack mic input. Channel 4 features two dedicated line level inputs.
w GROUND POST Use this to attach the ground wires from your turntables.
e OUTPUTS The unit has two outputs on the rear 1 x Master (unbalanced), 1 x Record (unbalanced). Connect the Master output to your amplifier. To record your performances connect the record output to the line input of your tape deck or MD. The KSP200 does not have a dedicated ‘booth’ output, however the Effect Send Connection and Control can be used for this purpose.
r EFFECT SEND CONNECTION Use this line level Phono socket to send sound to an external effects processor. Connect a cable from this socket to the line input of your effects processor.
t EFFECT RETURN CONNECTION Use this line level RCA Phono socket to receive sound from an external effects processor. Connect a cable from this socket to the line output of your effects processor.
y CHANNEL SELECTORS These are used to switch between Line input and Phono input on each channel.
u GAIN CONTROLS Each music channel 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.
i TONE CONTROLS Each channel has unique four band tone controls, which can be used to cut and boost specific frequencies. The bass control alters the level of lower Bass frequencies, Mid 2 alters lower mid and higher Bass frequencies, Mid 1 alters higher Mid frequencies and the Top alters high frequencies. Turning the control clockwise boosts the frequency. Turning the Tone controls fully anti-clockwise utilizes the KAM KILL CUT feature which completely removes the frequency.
o CUE SELECT BUTTON Pressing this button routes the individual channel to the PFL/Headphone Cue system.
1) EFFECT SEND BUTTON Pressing this button routes the individual channel to the external Effects Send/Return system.
1! CHANNEL LEVEL FADERS These are used to adjust the output level for each channel.
1@ CHANNEL FADER CURVE SWITCHES This switch adjusts the distance that the channel fader needs to travel before the channel reaches full volume. The switch has three positions; LONG means that the entire length of the fader is used, MED means that half of the fader length is used and SHORT means only a small distance needs to be traveled. SHORT and MED settings are useful for some Scratch mixing techniques, MED and LONG settings are suited to Beatmixing techniques.
1# PUNCH BUTTONS These buttons when pressed open the channel and allow sound to pass to the master output, regardless of the position of the crossfader. Designed for transform scratching type effects.
1$ KAM PROFADE CROSSFADER This allows the user to mix smoothly between both music channels. You are able to adjust the curve of the crossfader with the crossfader curve select switch.
1% CROSSFADER ASSIGN CONTROLS (Front of mixer) These controls determine which channel is currently assigned to either side of the Crossfader.
1^ MICROPHONE INPUT Use this socket to connect an MC/DJ microphone. It will accept either an XLR or 1/4" Jack type connector. NOTE: To maximize the performance of this microphone channel check out the range of Mixer Matched KAM Microphones.
1& VU METER TYPE LEVEL DISPLAYS The unit has two VU METER TYPE LED level displays. They show the Left and Right levels of the Master Output of the mixer.
1* CHANNEL LEVEL METERS Each channel has it’s own Pre Fade Level Meter which always shows the Level of the incoming signal after the channel gain control but before the channel fader.
1( POWER LED The Power On LED will show the current status (lit = on). Ensure the mixer is turned off when connecting external equipment.
2) EFFECT SEND LEVEL CONTROL Use this control to set the level of the signal sent to an external effects processor via the rear panel effect Send connection. Choosing which channel(s) are
sent for external processing is done via the individual channel Effect Send button.
2! EFFECT RETURN LEVEL CONTROL Use this control to set the level of the signal returning from an external effects processor (via the rear panel Effect Return socket). The sound is fed from here directly to the Master Output Level Fader so this control is used to set the balance between the amount of ‘wet’ (effected) sound and ‘dry’ (uneffected) sound.
2@ SPLIT / PFL SWITCH This switch controls the way in which the monitoring circuit works. In the PFL position any individual channel whose ‘Cue’ button is depressed plays back in stereo through both headphones. In the SPLIT position what you hear in the headphones is determined by the Cue Select Fader.
2# CUE SELECT FADER This Controls what is monitored in the headphones when the SPLIT/PFL button is in the SPLIT position. With the cue select fader to the left you should hear the output from any channel whose Cue select button is depressed in both headphones and with the cue select fader to the right you should hear the Master Output in both headphones. With the cue select fader in the centre you should hear a mix of both the PFL and the Master Output (PGM stands for Program and means the signal arriving at the Master Output).
2$ CUE LEVEL This controls the output volume of the headphones.
2% MASTER OUTPUT FADER This controls the overall output from the mixer, via the master output to the PA System.
2^ VOLTAGE SELECTOR The KSP200 is dual 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& 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.

DON’T BLOW IT!
• Always ensure that the mixer is turned off when making connections.
• Care should always be taken to ensure 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.
• Always use shielded signal cables to reduce hum and background noise.
• Care should be taken that ALL input and output signal levels are not excessive. Excessive signals can cause damage to your Kam mixer, connected equipment and your ears!
• When using the KSP200’s powerful Tone Controls, particular care should be taken to ensure that signal levels do not become excessive.
• For optimum audio quality and listening pleasure signals should peak at around zero dB on PFL and output level meters.
