Kustom DE200HD Stereo Amplifier User Manual

Direct Output (1)
This XLR jack is used to connect the amplifier to a mixer or other line level amplifier. The output
for this jack is post EQ, so the EQ setting will be reflected on this output.
CD/Tape Input (2)
This stereo 1/4” jack will allow you to plug in a CD player or other line level source into the
amplifier. This can be used to practice with the music. The left and right signals are combined into
a mono signal. Note: To adjust the volume of the source, adjust the output volume of the device.
Bass Input (3)
This 1/4” jack is used to connect your bass guitar to the amplifier. It is intended for bass, but will
accept other high-impedance instruments as well.
Gain Control (4)
This control is used to match the output level of your bass to the input of this amplifier. If the Clip
LED (5) lights, turn the control counter clockwise until the LED turns off. Then adjust the Volume
Control (6) to desired overall volume.
Clip Indicator (5)
This LED indicates if the input is too “hot” for the amplifier. If this lights, turn the Gain Control (4)
counter clockwise until the LED turns off. Then adjust the Volume Control (6) to desired volume.
Volume Control (6)
This control adjusts the overall volume of the amplifier. The Gain Control (4) works in conjunction
with this knob.
Notch Frequency Control (7)
This control is a wide band sweep that ranges from 40 to 800 Hz. It is set to -12db and used to
help you fine tune your sound. It is effective for removing unwanted overtones.
Equalizer Section (8)
This is an active equalizer used to adjust your overall tone to a desired setting. Turning them fully
counterclockwise will cut that frequency by -12db. Turning them fully clockwise will boost that
frequency by +12db. The center frequencies are labeled above the knobs. Note: The 5K control
essentially works as a horn volume control.
Power Indicator (9)
This indicator will light when the AC power is applied to the amplifier.
Power Switch (0)
This switch is used to apply AC power to the amplifier.
