Traynor Keyboard Amps Series
K2 - 200w, 10 inch / 4 inch / 2.5 inch
Designed for working musicians the Traynor Keymaster systems deliver the high fidelity needed to bring out the
complex sounds of today’s synthesizers. Equipped with active filtering circuits for effective tonal shaping. You’ll
get the sound you want quickly and easily from every Traynor amplifier, gig after gig, night after night.
Traynor backline amplification is designed and built using unparalleled levels of durability and quality found
only from the name legendary for its reliability and toughness. Inside every amplifier we use high-grade glass
epoxy circuit boards, low-noise metal film resistors, phone jacks with gold plated contacts, chassis metal which
is one to two gauges thicker than the competition’s and durable plywood construction. Built in true Traynor
fashion, these great sounding combo amplifiers stand up to life on the road. The Traynor Keymaster series
satisfies musicians who require rugged, reliable and highly portable equipment that faithfully reproduce acousticelectric instruments, voice, CDs and tapes.
Thank you for choosing the Traynor Keymaster K2.This advanced keyboard amplifier is extremely versatile,
delivering a wide spectrum of tonal performance. More importantly it has the ability bring out subtle audible
nuances for performance and it has the ability to sound right with a minimum amount of knob twirling.
Introducing the ultra-compact, 200-watt Traynor K2 Traynor keyboard amplifier. Designed to outperform
anything in its class, the K2 is the smallest keyboard amplifier to offer Traynor’s innovative
tube / solid-state input and proprietary Voicing circuitry. This technology was first
introduced on the K2’s big brother, the K4. By using this unique input design,
the Traynor K2 becomes more than a keyboard amp but an integral part of
the keyboard player’s tone pallet.
The K2 also serves as a convenient and powerful wedge monitor.
Designed for the live stage, it’s small footprint allows it to fit easily under
almost any keyboard rig, the 3-way speaker system delivers a full 200watts to the stage, more than enough for most live applications. The
innovative third channel post-master input (located on the back of the K2)
allows an additional signal to be fed to the amplifier, without feeding it to
the pre-master line output. This allows sources like monitor feeds from the
front of house mix, a drum machine click tracks or cue sends to be amplified
on stage by the K2, without feeding them to the house mix!

There are two sets of inputs for channel
1, The selectable tube or solid state input
on channel 1 allows the player to select a
pristine, high-headroom solid-state clean
input on channel one, or a warmer, slightly
compressed tube circuit which adds warmth
to digital synths and samplers.
Input Select Switch
The input select switch enables the user the option of solid state or tube preamp.
Gain Control
The gain control on channel 1 controls the gain of both preamps, solid state and the tube, depending on setting
of the input select switch. You can overdrive the input signal by increasing the gain while in the tube mode.
Tip: For some good vintage organ or just to further enhance the experience, increase the gain into the white outlined area of the
control while in the tube mode. You’ll be pleased with the sweet overdrive and added growl of this circuit as you dial clockwise.
Input clip LED
The input clip LED will only turn on when the input signal from a source such as a keyboard is too hot and will
clip the input circuits. To alleviate this, turn down the gain of the source unit.
Tone Controls
There are 3 tone controls, bass, mid and treble; these cover the entire audio spectrum. Each control permits a
wide range of sonic adjustment, a boost or cut of 15 dB. The center position denotes 0 dB cut/boost.
Voicing
The Voicing circuit offers several pre-set user selectable tone shapes on channel one to add overall presence to
further enhance specific synth sounds on the K2’s first channel. For those who like to keep it simple, 4 voicing
presets are available. The presets are contoured for organ, piano, live and studio. Bypassing the circuit is also
available when the selector is in 12 o’clock position. Try them all and see which one meets your needs.
Voicing presets recommendations
1. Studio.
2. Live.
3. Piano.
4. Organ.
Channel 2
Channel 2 uses a ¼-inch/XLR (TRS) combi-jack input. This
input can be used for an additional line-level input or a
microphone-level input, and has its own dedicated three-band
EQ.
Channel 2, ¼ -inch / XLR Combo Input jack
The combi jack can be use for Microphone or a mono ¼-inch
input application.
RCA Inputs
The RCA inputs are stereo, right and left. They are properly summed in the preamp. MP3 players, CD players
and tape decks commonly use these. For best results use a player that has its own gain control, this will enable
you to control the levels when the other ¼-inch / XLR Combi input jack used by another source and you do not
wish to have both at the same audible level.
Gain Control
