Tri-amplifies your sound for serious high-fidelity tone.
The K4 amplifier is an advanced
and extremely versatile stereo keyboard amp that delivers a wide spectrum of tones. More importantly it has the ability to
sound right with a minimum amount of tweaking. The Traynor K4 consists of three separate built-in amplifiers for true stereo
operation with a mono-summed woofer. A 200-watt Low Frequency amplifier drives a 12-inch 200-watt woofer while a pair of 50
watt amps drive the left and right channels delivering the mid and high frequencies through a set of 4.5-inch 30-watt midrange
drivers and a pair of 20-watt 2.5-inch compression drivers with horns.
One unique feature of the K4 amp is how Channel
1 utilizes a pair of 12AX7 tubes one for each channel left and right. These preamp tubes supply warmth and smooth out the
harsh harmonic overtones often associated with many modern Digital keyboards. It also excels at maintaining the warmth and
character of vintage synthesizers and organs where it isn't always practical to use the much larger powered speaker cabinets
they are typically associated with.
There is also a select switch to toggle between using either the tube or a Solid-State
signal path bypassing the tube on the input altogether for those times when the cleanest signal path possible is preferred.
Channel one also features a foot switchable Tube Overdrive control for those who like to add a small amount of grit to their
playing. Depending on the level a small amount of warmth right up to full grit can be had from the Tube Overdrive. Natural
tube compression is a very desired tone as the subtle dynamics can't be properly emulated by most of today's digital workstations.
Use this feature to add some grit to an otherwise sterile keyboard tone to make it a truly vintage tube-based one. A single
button latching footswitch like the AFS-1 can be used to engage the Lead/Overdrive feature. If a footswitch is connected it
will disable the front panel switch. Additional tonal control can be had thanks to the three band EQ and 5 position (Bypass
Studio Live Piano Organ) selectable voicing presets.
Like Channel One Channel Two also features its' own Gain control
as well as a 3 band EQ. Available inputs include a stereo pair of balanced 1/4-inch TRS inputs and a single XLR for mono only
operation.
Channel Three uses an independent Gain control to set the levels for the stereo pair of balanced 1/4-inch
TRS inputs and stereo pair of RCA inputs. All three channels feature their own input clip LED's for simple monitoring of input
levels from the darkest of stages and a single Master Volume and Power Switch let you be heard when you want to.
Channel
4 inputs and Gain control can be found on the rear panel. The possibilities are endless with it. Use it to bring in an external
click track or drum monitor mix or get a microphone feed from the FOH or monitor console. The two inputs can even be used
for monitoring two different sources if desired. The signal goes directly into the power amplifier so it bypasses the Master
Volume and Line Outs entirely.

LED
Rear panel
- Channel 4 Monitor
- Channel 4 has been added as an extra
channel for monitoring purposes the signal does not mix in with the Main stereo bus and thus the Line Out is not affected
by it. The input has it own level control. The left and right inputs can even be used as two separate monitoring sources and
the signal goes directly into the amplifiers bypassing the master volume entirely.
- Rear panel controls
for Channel 4 include: Gain control
- Stereo balanced 1/4-inch TRS inputs for mono or stereo operation
- Subwoofer Out
- Subwoofer out is provided via a TRS 1/4-inch jack. This mono signal features
no filtering so it can be used to feed a powered sub remote powered speakers or any other device requiring a mono-summed Full
range signal.
- Balanced Stereo XLR Line Outs
- These are used to connect directly to a
mixing console or for direct recording. The Line Out jacks are Pre-Master control turning the Master control up or down will
not have any affect on the level of the Line Out jacks.
- Ground Lift
- The ground lift
switch is located beside the XLR jacks. It lifts the balanced Line out ground (Pin 1) when pushed in.
Footswitch Jack
- When used in conjunction with any single button latching footswitch like the AFS-1 the Tube Overdrive
mode can be activated or deactivated remotely at will.
Cooling system
- Two 3-inch fans cool
the K4 The fans normally operate at a low speed the speed increases depending on how hard the amplifier is working. The air
intake vent is located at the top of the cabinet and the exhaust vents are located at the front and back of amplifier.
Caution:
The top vent must be kept clear in order for the air to enter into the amplifiers. The rear and front vents are used to allow
the warm air out of the unit.
Head Phone Jack
- A 1/4-inch headphone jack is provided on the
rear panel as well. When the jack is used it mutes the signal that comes out of the amplifier with the exception of the monitor
channel 4.
