The Kamesan KS-T2000 can use any standard type of battery: 
manganese, alkaline, nickel-cadmium, nickel-hydride or lithium-
ion. Four type 3 (AA) size batteries are required.
In normal use and temperature conditions, a set of alkaline bat-
teries will provide between five and six hours of operation.
In addition, the Kamesan KS-T2000 can accept power from a 
suitable power adaptor (described in “Using an AC adapter” on 
page 14).

the power switch (top...

1.Remove the cover on the left (INPUT) side of the unit. You 
may need to remove the touch fastener case strap to access 
the holder door.
2.Open the door using the catch located by the red (+) mark, 
and remove the battery holder as shown above.
3.Remove any old batteries in the holder and place new batter-
ies in the...

Note that when new batteries are inserted, the indicators may show 
the middle or low battery condition. This is because the power LEDs 
monitor the actual real-time battery usage, and when the unit is ac-
tually in use (phantom power, headphone amp, etc.), the true bat-
tery status will be shown.
 Do not use the VU meter light more than necessary (this can 
result in considerable savings).
 Turn off the power to the Kamesan KS-T2000 when it is not 
in use (“resting” the batteries...

The use of any adapter other than the type specified here may re-
sult in damage to the Kamesan KS-T2000, other equipment, or 
even result in overheating and fire. For this reason, it is essential 
that only those adapters recommended and sold by Kamesan are 
used.
Connect the adapter connector to the DC IN connector of...

The following explains some of the principles of operating the 
Kamesan KS-T2000 when all the connections have been made:
Adjust the relative levels of the inputs by using the level controls 
(faders).
Turning these controls fully counterclockwise attenuates the sig-
nals, and turning them fully clockwise boosts them.
The nominal position (neither cut nor boost) is marked as shown 
here.
To make the best use of the Kamesan KS-T2000’s gain structure, 
we recommend setting the channel...

The signal or signals being monitored and metered are set using 
the (green) monitor selection control.
The [L+R] setting is also used for the external monitoring source 
(see “External monitoring input” on page 8).
Before adjusting the inputs:
1.Make sure that the correct input mode has been selected 
(“Input connections” on page 7).
2.If the low-cut filter is to be used on the input channel, make...

The gain level for all types of microphone ranges from –30 to –
70 dBs (marked in white; the –40 and –50 points are marked for 
convenience), and the gain level for line-level sources ranges from 
–20 to +4 dBm (marked in blue).
The head and mixer amps of the Kamesan KS-T2000 allow con-
siderable leeway. On the input stage, there is about 28 dB avail-
able, and on the output stage, about 17 dB is available
