Tape Input and Output
The KCT preamplifier has a discrete tape input and output. The tape output is used to
channel a signal from a C-1, C-2, B-1, B-2, S-1, S-2, or S-3 input to a recording device
or processor. You can use the tape feature in two ways:
1. Use the tape input to compare the output signal of a three-head analog tape recorder
to the output signal of an audio source, when making a recording. To activate this
function, select an audio source for recording using either the C-1, C-2, B-1, B-2, S-1,
S-2, or S-3 input select buttons (6) or keys (39). Press the tape button (7) or tape key
(40) to switch between the tape recorder output and the input source.
2. Use the tape output to create a processor loop, when the KCT is connected to a
graphic equalizer or other ancillary equipment. To activate this function, connect the
equipment to the KCT tape outputs (21) as described in the equipment manu-
facturer’s manual. Press the tape button (7) or tape key (40) to switch between the
processor output and the input source.
For both tape features, the KCT front panel display (13) shows TAPEOUT ZONE 1 or
TAPEOUT ZONE 2, indicating the zone that is the pathway for the tape output. The display
changes to TAPE MONITOR after three seconds.
You can also configure the tape output to record music from an input device through
zone 2 while you listen to music from another input device through the main zone. You
can also record through the main zone and listen through zone 2. To select a zone for
tape output, see Tape Output Menu, on page 30.
