IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: When using electrical products, basic cautions should always be followed, including the following:

Read these instructions. Keep these instructions. Heed all warnings. Follow all instructions. Do not use this apparatus near water. Clean only with a dry cloth. Do not block any of the ventilation openings. Install in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding plug. The wide blade or third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point they exit from the apparatus. Note for UK only: If the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this unit do not correspond with the terminals in your plug‚ proceed as follows: a) The wire that is colored green and yellow must be connected to the terminal that is marked by the letter E‚ the earth symbol‚ colored green or colored green and yellow. b) The wire that is colored blue must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter N or the color black. c) The wire that is colored brown must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter L or the color red. Only use attachments/accessories provided by the manufacturer. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped. Never break off the ground pin. Write for our free booklet “Shock Hazard and Grounding.” Connect only to a power supply of the type marked on the unit adjacent to the power supply cord. If this product is to be mounted in an equipment rack, rear support should be provided. Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a sufficient time. The U.S. Government’s Occupational and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the following permissible noise level exposures: Duration Per Day In Hours 8 6 4 3 2 1 1⁄2 1 1 ⁄2 1 ⁄4 or less

Sound Level dBA, Slow Response 90 92 95 97 100 102 105 110 115

According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of the above permissible limits could result in some hearing loss. Ear plugs or protectors to the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when operating this amplification system in order to prevent a permanent hearing loss, if exposure is in excess of the limits as set forth above. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels such as this amplification system be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in operation.

ENGLISH KB ®2/KB3 Keyboard Amplifiers

Thank you for selecting the KB2/KB3 keyboard amplifier. Once again‚ Peavey engineers have listened to input from keyboard players and put together an amplifier that combines excellent features and sound in one portable package. The KB Series amplifiers deliver awesome sound reproduction for all of your keyboard sounds—from thundering bass to crystal highs—it’s all there! Before you begin to play through your amp, it is very important to ensure the product has the proper AC line voltage supplied. You can find the proper voltage for your amp printed next to the IEC line (power) cord on the rear panel of the unit. For the KB3, an external speaker jack is provided for the additional use of an external speaker enclosure. This feature is located on the rear panel as well and is also explained in this section. Each product feature is numbered. Refer to the control and rear panel diagrams in this manual to locate the particular features next to their number. Please read this guide carefully to ensure your personal safety as well as the safety of your amplifier.

Features · 4-channels (KB2 and KB3) · KB2: biamped 45 watts and 12 watts · KB3: 80 watts external‚ 60 watts internal · balanced line out · effects send/return jack · external speaker capability (KB3 only)

QUICK SET-UP GUIDE 1. Connect the line cord to the appropriately rated receptacle 2. Be certain that all levels are down or set to the fully counter-clockwise position and set all the EQs flat 3. Set the master level to the 12:00 position 4. Connect left output of your keyboard to the left input of the KB2/KB3 and connect right output of your keyboard to the right input of the KB2/KB3 5. Set the DDT switch to the enable position 6. Set the main/monitor switch to the monitor position 7. Turn on power to the KB2/KB3 8. Adjust the channel level for proper volume 9. Adjust the channel EQ as needed

(1) Level Controls the 1/4" jack input level on channels 1 and 2 and the 1/4" jack input and XLR input on channel 3.

(2) Low EQ An active tone control (shelving type: +/-15 dB) that varies the low frequency range. C a u t i o n : Excessive low frequency boost causes greater power consumption and increases the possibility of speaker damage.

(3) Hi EQ An active tone control (shelving type: ± 15 dB) that varies the hi frequency range.

(4) Mid EQ An active tone control (peak/notch type: ± 15dB) that varies the mid frequencies. (channel 3)

(5) CH4/Monitor Level Controls the input level for channel 4. Controls high-impedance microphones or other high-level sources equipped with a 1/4" phone plug.

(6) Headphone Level (KB3 only) This sets the level to the headphone jack on the rear panel. To avoid damage to your hearing‚ make sure to turn the dial fully counter-clockwise before using headphones. Slowly turn the knob clockwise until a comfortable listening level is set. This does not affect the master level.

(7) Master Level (KB3 only) This knob sets the overall level for the unit. Make sure the Master level is completely down (full counterclockwise) before powering up the unit. This does not affect the headphone level.

(8) Power Switch This two-way rocker switch applies power to the unit when placed in the ON position.

Main Line Out (9) This low-noise‚ electronically-balanced XLR connector can be used to route signals to a mixing console‚ recording device‚ etc.

Send/Return Jacks Mains (10 & 11) This pair of 1/4" jacks allow the use of various auxiliary units (effects units‚ equalizers‚ etc.) in-line‚ before the power amp section.

Headphone Jack (12) This 1/4" jack accepts stereo headphones only.

CH4/Monitor Input Jack (13) Use this 1/4" jack to connect to the output of any line-level device.

Channel: 3 Low-Impedance Input (14) For use with low-impedance microphones or other line-level sources equipped with a male XLR connector.

Channels 3‚ 2 & 1 (15) These 1/4" jacks accept high-impedance microphones or line-level sources equipped with 1⁄4" phone plugs.

External Speaker Jack (16) (KB3 only) This 1/4" jack provides the powered signal from the amplifier. Use this jack to add a second speaker cabinet in parallel. The external minimum speaker load impedance is 8 ohms.

IEC connector/detachable line cord (17) This is a standard IEC power connector. An AC mains cord having the appropriate AC plug and ratings for the intended operating voltage is included in the carton. The mains cord should be connected to the amplifier before connecting to a suitable AC outlet.

U.S. Domestic AC Mains Cord The mains cord supplied with the unit is heavy-duty‚ 3-conductor type with a conventional 120 VAC plug with ground pin. Never break off the ground pin on any equipment. It is provided for your safety. If the outlet used does not have a ground pin‚ a suitable grounding adapter should be used and the third wire should be properly grounded. 6
