KX200
Section 3 Processing & Parameters
3.2 AFE
The AFE Automatic Feedback Elimination function was designed to provide an excellent
feedback elimination processing, all of these feedback detection and suppression is done
be AFE automatically completely. With AFE, the feedback is removed automatically and
the proprietary, precision AFE filters remove only a very narrow fraction of the frequency
spectrum, to keep a good and live sound after suppression.
AFE Parameters
The AFE algorithm contains the following parameters:
• AFE mode: On/Off, Level(1,2,3)
• AFE suppress method: 36 filters
• AFE filter Q: 1/20 Octave
• AFE feedback reaction time(one filter): 0.1S----0.5s
3.3 ECHO
The Echo effect consists of delays which generate the artificial echos. In an echo effect, the
processed signal is mixed with the unprocessed signal and is used to make a singer’s voice
sound more interesting. Echo has adjustable time, feedback and level for producing that
sought after karaoke effect.
Echo Parameters
The Echo algorithm contains the following parameters:
• MICDryLevel(-40–10dB)-Thisparameteradjuststheoveralllevelofthe
microphone input.
• Echo Level (-40 - 0 dB) - This parameter adjusts the overall level of the echo effect.
Use this parameter to add just the right amount of echo effect to the source signal.
• Echo Pre-Delay (0 ms - 100 ms; range is preset dependent) - This parameter adjusts the
amount of delay which occurs before you begin to hear the first- repeats.
• Echo Delay Time (50 ms - 500 ms; range is preset dependent) - This parameter adjusts
the amount of delay which occurs before you begin to hear any repeats.
• Echo Repeat (0 - 100%) - This parameter adjusts how many times the delay will be
repeated. The higher the value of this parameter, the longer the delay effect will be
heard before fading out.
• R CH Pre-Delay (-50% - 50%; referring to L channel)
• R CH Delay (-50% - 50%; referring to L channel)
• Echo LPF (20 Hz - 20000 Hz) - This parameter adjusts the frequency of the echo low
pass filter. Higher values allow more of the high frequencies to pass, creating a brighter
Echo effect. Lower values will begin to cut off the higher frequencies, creating a darker
sounding echo effect.
• Echo HPF (20 Hz - 20000 Hz) - This parameter adjusts the frequency of the echo
high pass filter. Lower values (or Off) allow more of the low frequencies to be passed
through the effect and yield a fuller sounding echo, whereas higher values begin to
cut off lower frequencies, creating a thinner sounding echo effect which can make the
effect sit better in a busy mix.

11
KX200 Section 3
Processing & Parameters
• Echo PEQ (5 Bands)
3.4 REVERB
Reverb is the ambient sound of various live environments such as clubs, studios, concert halls,
etc… Much like the Echo effect, it is used for enhancing the sound of vocals to make them
more interesting.
Reverb Parameters
The Reverb algorithm contains the following parameters:
• MICDryLevel(-40–10dB)-Thisparameteradjuststheoveralllevelofthe
microphone input.
• Reverb Level (-40 - 0 dB) - This parameter adjusts the overall level of the reverb effect.
Use this parameter to add just the right amount of reverb effect to the source signal.
• Reverb Pre-Delay (0 - 100 ms, range is preset dependent) - This parameter adjusts
the amount of delay time before the reverb effect becomes audible. Higher values can
create the illusion of a much larger room as it mimics the time that it would take for
reflections from very distant surfaces to reach the listeners ears.
• ReverbTime(200ms–4000ms)-Thisparameteradjuststheamountoftimethatit
takes for the reverb to die out. Higher values create the illusion of a larger space or
harder more reflective surfaces.
• Reverb LPF (20 Hz - 20000 Hz) - This parameter adjusts the frequency of the reverb
low pass filter. Lower values will allow the lower frequencies to pass through the reverb
effect creating a fuller, darker reverb, whereas higher values will begin cutting off lower
frequencies, which can make a reverb sound thinner and sit better in a busy mix.
• Reverb HPF (20 Hz - 20000 Hz) - This parameter adjusts the frequency of the reverb
high pass filter. Lower values yield a darker sounding reverb, whereas higher values
create a brighter sounding reverb effect.
• Reverb PEQ (5 Bands).
3.5 EQ
EQs allow you to shape the tone of the audio signal. Sometimes these EQs are needed at
various stages of the signal path. The KX200 has Output EQs (for equalizing the overall sound
system) and Input EQs (for shaping the tone of the input sources). The KX200 provides 8
Band EQs on the left, right, center and surround outputs, a 5 Band EQ on the sub output, 15
Band EQs on the microphone inputs and 8 Band EQs on the music inputs.
EQ Parameters
The EQ algorithm contains the following parameters:
• Filter Type (PEQ, Low shelf, High shelf) - The Type selector allows you to select which
type of filter you would like to use on each band.
1 . PEQ: Manipulates a set range of frequencies, out in both directions from the center
frequency, with the ‘Q’ parameter determining the width.
2 . LP shelf: Manipulates all frequencies below the set frequency.

12
KX200
Section 3 Processing & Parameters
3 . HP shelf: Manipulates all frequencies above the set frequency.
• Band Gain (-18 dB - +18 dB) - Sets the level of the selected EQ band.
• BandFrequency(20Hz–20KHz)-Selectsthecenterfrequency,foreachband,at
which the EQ gain or attenuation will be applied.
1 . PEQFrequencyRange:20Hz–20KHz
2 . LowShelfFrequencyRange:20Hz–20KHz
3 . HighShelfFrequencyRange:20Hz–20KHz
• Q (0.1 - 25.0) - This parameter adjusts the width of the PEQ filter. Lower values,
create wider EQ curves (covering a wider range of frequencies) and higher values create
narrower EQ curves (covering a much smaller range of frequencies for more surgical EQ
work). This parameter is only available in bands that are set to the ‘PEQ’ type, as listed
above.
• EQ Bypass - This parameter is used for Music, Mic, ECHO, Reverb, Main, Center, Sub and
Surround. This option when turned on will set all the EQs for that input or output off
like it is flat.
• EQ Enable: Activate the selected band.
• EQ Delete: When turning on this option, it will delete the selected EQ.
When finished the EQ settings of channels, enable the L/R EQ, the left and right channels
parameter will be synchronized. The CH A/B link on microphone inputs is the same.
3.6 Sing Mode & Dance Mode
Sing/Dance Mode is used to switch between using the system in a dance environment (Dance
Mode) or for karaoke use (Sing Mode). When Sing Mode is turned on, the subwoofer can be
reduced for karaoke use. When Dance Mode is turned on, the subwoofer can be enhanced
for dance club use. This feature makes it very easy to use the live sound system for both
purposes.
Sing/Dance Mode can either be engaged manually or automatically. The Sing Mode Timer
allows you to automatically decrease ultralow frequency output after a period when the
microphones are not used.
Dance Mode Parameters
Dance Mode contains the following parameters:
• Attack time (10 s - 600 s)
• Boost Gain (0 dB - 12 dB)
Sing Mode Parameters
Dance Mode contains the following parameters:
• Attack (5 ms - 2000 ms)
• Release(0.2 s - 10 s)
• Reduce Gain (-12 dB - 0 dB)
3.7 Driver Alignment Delay
Driver Alignment Delay is available on the Left/Right, Center Subwoofer and Surround outputs.
It is used to time align the signal from the various speakers so that all loudspeaker signals

13
KX200 Section 3
Processing & Parameters
arrive at the audience at approximately the same time, thereby reducing phase issues.
Delay Parameters
Delay contains the following parameter:
• Delay (0 ms - 40 ms) - This parameter sets how much delay will be applied to the
selected output.
3.8 Limiter
The Limiter is a dynamic range process. When the output signal reaches a certain level
(defined by the threshold parameter) the Limiter kicks in and keeps the signal level
from going any higher, preventing the output signal from overdriving amplifiers and/or
loudspeakers.
Limiter Parameters
The Limiter algorithm contains the following parameters:
• Limiter Enable - This parameter turns the limiter algorithm on.
• Limiter Threshold (-60 dB - 0 dB) - This parameter sets the level at which limiting
begins to occur. For example, if the threshold is set to -10dB, any signal level higher
than -10dB would trigger the limiter, while any signal levels lower than -10dB would
remain untouched. Generally, for speaker protection, you would want to use light
limiting, where most of the signal content remains just below the threshold and only
the peaks cross the threshold and get limited.
• Limiter Attack (5 ms - 200 ms) - This parameter adjusts the attack time of the limiter.
• Limiter Release (200 ms - 10000 ms) - This parameter adjusts the release time of the
limiter.
3.9 Additional Parameters
There are some parameters which don’t necessarily pertain to any of the processing algorithms
previously listed, but do pertain to certain inputs. This sub-section covers these additional
input parameters.
• VOD - Selects the VOD audio inputs as the source.
• Coaxial - Selects the coaxial input as the source.
• Optical - Selects the optical input as the source.
• Mic Volume (Mute, -39 dB - +6 dB) - This parameter allows you to adjust the mic
volume via controlling the mic sources and effect. This parameter is also adjustable
from the front panel Mic knob.
• Mic INI Volume (Mute, -40 dB - +6 dB) - This parameter allows you to set the initial
Mic Volume value via controlling the Mic sources and effect. This is the default value
that the Mic Volume will be set to each time the processor boots up.
• Mic Max Volume (Mute, -40 dB - +6 dB) - This parameter allows you to set the absolute
maximum limit in which the Mic Volume or Mic INI Volume can be set.
• MusicBalance(L50-Center–R50)-Thisparameterallowsyoutoadjusttheleft/right
