Traynor Keymaster K4
300w, 12 inch / 2x4.5 inch / 2x2.5 inch
The Traynor Keymaster K4 is an extremely versatile stereo keyboard combo-amplifier, designed to provide a wide spectrum of tonal range. Simple yet powerful features result in wonderfully sounding and adaptable unit that is responsive to studio and onstage needs. The Traynor Keymaster K4 gives you complete control of your vision – with a minimum amount of tweaking.
The Traynor Keymaster K4 consists of three built-in amplifiers, providing ample power for true stereo operation and an integral mono-summed subwoofer. A pair of 50 watt amps drive the left and right channels, delivering the mid and high frequencies through a set of 4.5-inch, 30-watt midrange drivers and a pair of 20-watt 2.5-inch compression drivers (with horns). A 200-watt Low Frequency amplifier drives a 12-inch, 200-watt dynamic woofer.
A pair of 12AX7 tubes lends an inspired classic sound to Channel 1’s stereo channel. These preamp tubes supply warmth while smoothing out harsh harmonic overtones (often associated with many modern Digital keyboards). The 12AX7’s natural compression provides the kind of subtle dynamics that can’t be properly emulated by most of today’s digital workstations (DAWs). The warmth and character of vintage synthesizers and organs are also maintained.
Channel 1 also features a Tube Overdrive control, for those who like to add some grit to their playing. Depending on the level selected, your sound can embrace in the warmth of a vintage glow – or burn with the aggression of full-on overdrive. Use this feature to add body to a sterile keyboard tone, or recreate it entirely in the image of classic tube tone. A single-latching footswitch, like our AFS-1, can be used to enable the Lead/Overdrive feature. If a footswitch is connected, control by the front panel switch is disabled. Additional tonal control is provided by the three-band EQ and 5-position voicing preset switch (Bypass, Studio, Live, Piano, Organ). And for those times when the cleanest signal path possible is preferred, a switch toggles between either the tube preamp or a Solid-State signal path (bypassing the tube on the input altogether).
Channel 2 features it’s own Gain control and a 3-band EQ. Inputs include a stereo pair of balanced 1/4-inch TRS inputs and an individual XLR (for mono-only operation with a mic).
Channel 3 also has an independent Gain control to set the levels for the stereo pair of balanced 1/4-inch TRS and stereo RCA inputs. All three channels feature their own input clip LEDs (for simple monitoring of input levels) and a Volume control.
Channel 4’s inputs and Gain control can be found on the rear panel. This auxiliary channel provides an additional input for use with an external click track, drum monitor mix, or even a microphone feed from the FOH (or monitor console). These inputs may even be used for monitoring two different sources if desired. The signal goes directly into the power amplifier, bypassing the Master Volume and Line Outs entirely.

Channel 4 Monitor Input
Channel 4 has been added as an extra channel for monitoring purposes. This signal does not mix with the Main stereo bus and therefore the Line Out is not affected. This input has it own level control. The left and right inputs can be used as two separate monitoring sources and the signal goes directly into the amplifiers, bypassing the master volume.
Rear Panel Controls for Channel 4 include
Gain control Stereo balanced 1/4-inch TRS inputs for mono or stereo operation
Subwoofer Out
A Subwoofer out is provided via a TRS 1/4-inch jack. This mono signal features absolutely no filtering,
so it can be used to feed a powered sub, remote powered speakers or any other device requiring a mono-summed fullrange signal.
Balanced Stereo XLR Line Outs
These are used to connect directly to a mixing console, or for direct recording. The Line Out jacks are
Pre-Master control, turning the Master control up or down will not have any affect on the level of the Line Out jacks.
Ground Lift
The ground lift switch is located beside the XLR jacks. It lifts the balanced Line Out ground (Pin 1) when
pushed in. This switch may be used to reduce the hum created by a bad ground circuit.
Footswitch Jack
When used in conjunction with any single button latching footswitch, like our AFS-1, the Tube Overdrive
mode can be activated or deactivated remotely at will.
Headphone Jack
A 1/4-inch headphone jack is provided on the rear panel as well. When the jack is used, it mutes the
signal that comes out of the amplifier, with the exception of the monitor channel 4.
Cooling System
Two 3-inch fans cool the Traynor Keymaster K4, The fans begin operation at a low speed, but are able to adjust the rate of air flow depending on how hard the amplifiers are working. The air intake vent is located at the top of the cabinet and the exhaust vents are located at the front and back of amplifier.
Caution: The top vent must be kept clear in order for the air to enter into the amplifiers.
The rear and front vents are used to allow the warm air out of the unit.
