High volume levels can damage your hearing or your headphones. Please turn down the VOLUME control to zero (all the way to the left) before you power up the amp. Always make sure you use appropriate volume levels. 2. CONTROL ELEMENTS The LEVEL controls adjust the signal level of channels 1 - 4 (K900FX and K450FX: channels 1 - 3). The four FX controls adjust the channel 1 - 4 signal level at the input of the integrated effects processor (K900FX and K450FX: three controls for channels 1 - 3). The channel 4 signal (K3000FX and K1800FX only) is normally routed just to the PHONES output without effects. This way you can practice without being heard, or you can connect a metronome that you need on headphones but not on speakers. By pressing the TO MAIN button the signal will be additionally routed to the speakers without effects. By pressing the TO LINE OUT button the channel 4 signal will be additionally routed to the LINE OUT output without effects (K3000FX and K1800FX only).  If you press both the TO MAIN and TO LINE button, channel 4 will be equal to channels 1 - 3. The signal will be routed to the speakers and the LINE OUT output including effects. The ULTRATONE is equipped with a 7-band graphic equalizer (K900FX and K450FX: 5-band graphic equalizer). Use the EQ to adapt the sound to the room acoustics. Press the FBQ switch to activate the FBQ Feedback Detection System. The frequencies causing feedback are shown by the brightly lit fader LEDs. Simply lower the level of the respective frequency range until feedback disappears and the LED goes out. The FX display shows the currently selected preset. The SIG LED lights up when the effects processor receives an input signal. When the CLIP LED lights up please reduce the effects input signal by using the respective FX control(s) . Turn the FX control to select an effects preset (preset number starts flashing). Push the control briefly to confirm your selection. The LEVEL control in the master section is used to adjust the main output volume. Turn the FX RET control to add the effect signal to the main mix. Pressing the SHAPE button will add the Shape effect to the main signal. The Shape function on your ULTRATONE provides a revolutionary type of filter that you can use to modify your keyboard sound (K3000FX and K1800FX only). Use the PHONES jack to plug in your headphones. The PHONES LEVEL control adjusts the headphones output level (K3000FX and K1800FX only). Use the POWER switch to switch the ULTRATONE on or off. You should always make sure that the POWER switch is in the "Off" position when initially connecting the unit to the mains. To disconnect the unit from the mains, pull out the main cord plug. When installing the product, ensure that the plug is easily accessible.  Please note: Merely switching the unit off does not mean that it is fully disconnected from the mains. When not using the unit for prolonged periods of time, please unplug the unit's power cord from the power outlet. MAINS CONNECTION. Use the power cord supplied with the unit to connect it to the mains. FUSE HOLDER/VOLTAGE SELECTOR. Before connecting the unit to the mains, make sure that the voltage setting matches your local voltage. A blown fuse should only be replaced by a fuse of the same type and rating. On some units, the fuse holder can be switched to one of two positions, i.e. 230 V and 120 V. When operating the unit outside Europe at 120 V, a higher fuse rating is required. The GROUND LIFT switch disconnects (switch pressed) the ground connection at the LINE OUT output to effectively eliminate hum noise resulting from ground loops (K3000FX and K1800FX only). Use the balanced LINE OUT XLR connectors to feed the audio signal from your ULTRATONE to a mixing console (K3000FX and K1800FX only). The LINE OUT signal is post-EQ. These are the LINE OUT outputs on 1/4" TS connectors (K900FX and K450FX: one 1/4" TS connector).  Both XLR and 1/4" TS LINE OUT connectors can be used simultaneously. For stereo operation the ULTRATONE features a STEREO LINK facility. You can connect the OUT of the ULTRATONE to the LINK IN of another keyboard amp that serves as slave to achieve true stereo sound. When using the ULTRATONE as slave, connect the LINK OUT of the master amp to the IN (K3000FX and K1800FX only). The SUB OUT connector provides the line-level mono subwoofer signal for connection to the input of a power amp or active subwoofer. Connect your footswitch to the FOOT SW jack, so as to activate/deactivate the effects processor. Use the CD IN (K900FX and K450FX: AUX IN) connectors to connect the output of your CD player, tape deck, CD or MD walkman. This way you can play along to music or keyboard tutorial CDs. These are the LINE inputs for channels 1 - 4 on 1/4" TS connectors. For mono input signals please use the L (MONO) connector. Channel 1 is equipped with an additional XLR MIC input. Due to internal +15 V phantom power you can even use condenser microphones. Both XLR and 1/4" TS connectors can be used simultaneously. In this case the LEVEL control of channel 1 adjusts both the level of the LINE and MIC signal. SERIAL NUMBER. 4 2. CONTROL ELEMENTS
