The KM200 achieved this superior goal by delivering a solid 200 watts of power, driving a classic Hartke 15” aluminum cone low frequency drive unit, working with a 1” titanium compression driver, enclosed in an innovative kickback cabinet, giving you a powerful full-range 2-way professional monitoring system. For players with multiple keyboards and sound modules, an additional mixer isn’t needed because the KM200 has one built-in. The mixer features a stereo input with 2-band EQ and Mic input, as well as three additional stereo inputs, giving you a total of 4-stereo channels, plus a stereo Aux in, advanced signal routing and special headphone monitoring capabilities. In fact, you’ll have independent control of Local, PA, and headphone monitor mixes. The KM200 also features a powerful 7-band Graphic Equalizer allowing you to set a customized frequency response contour that’s perfect for your sound and helps you hear yourself better on stage. The convenient casters make the KM200 easy to transport and the solid construction makes it a reliable performer from night-to-night and venue-to-venue.

Graphic Equalizer - These sliders allow you to “draw” the tonal response of the system by adding 12 dB of boost or attenuation to seven different narrow-band frequency areas (100 Hz, 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1 kHz, 2.5 kHz, 5 kHz, and 10 kHz), affecting the main output signal of the KM200. When a slider is at its center detented (“0”) position, the selected frequency area is unaffected (it is said to be flat). When a slider is moved up (above the “0” position, towards the “+15” position), the selected frequency area is boosted, and when it is moved down (below the “0” position, towards the “-15” position), the selected frequency area is attenuated.
