Kamesan KS-T2000 3 Warnings and notices Warnings and notices Warnings and notices Warnings and notices Warnings and notices Warnings and notices Warnings and notices Warnings and notices Treat your Kamesan KS-T2000 in the same way that you would treat any piece of precision equipment. Although it is designed for rugged location use in a wide range of extreme conditions: • Avoid spilling liquid over the unit or exposing it to extremely humid environments. Do not subject the unit to extreme temperature changes, as this may cause internal condensation, affecting the opera- tion of the unit. Avoid operating the unit in extreme temperature conditions wherever possible. Avoid using the unit in dusty or smoky locations wherever possible When cleaning the unit, never use solvents or thinner to clean the outside of the case. Only use a soft damp cloth to wipe off any dirt or stains. Only use power supplies (batteries and external power sup- plies) as recommended in this manual. Connection of microphone cables and microphones: to prevent hazard or damage, ensure that only microphone cables and micro- phones designed to the IEC 268-15A standard are connected. Connexions des microphones et de leurs câbles: pour éviter tout endommagement, s’assurer de brancher uniquement des micro- phones et des câbles de microphones conçus selon la norme IEC 268-15A. When using microphones, make sure that the phantom power is set appropriately for the microphones. Use of +48 V phantom power with microphones not designed for this may result in damage to the microphones, and to the Kamesan KS-T2000. In the event of encountering problems with the Kamesan KS- T2000, you should contact your local after-sales representative. Warnings and notices Connection of microphones After-sales service

Kamesan KS-T2000 5 General notes General notes General notes General notes General notes General notes General notes General notesGeneral notes Before\ Before operating the Kamesan KS-T2000, you should be aware of the following points: All XLR connectors (male and female) are wired with the fol- lowing pinouts: 1=ground, 2=hot, 3=cold. The AC adaptor jack is a tip-negative connection. DO NOT attempt to make any connection to this jack except using an AC adaptor authorized by Kamesan. Always remove any dead batteries immediately from the Kamesan KS-T2000, and remove any batteries from the unit if it will not be used for some time. Corroded and leaking batteries can cause severe damage to the unit. Keep this manual in a convenient location for handy reference. Any labels on the unit mentioned in the manual are shown in this typeface: OUTPUT. Sometimes you will see a note—important information which you should note. Failure to read and observe notes and warnings may result in per- sonal injury and/or possible damage to the unit. General notes About this manual
Kamesan KS-T2000 6 The Kamesan KS-T2000 is supplied with everything you need to start work. However, you can purchase the following, in order to increase the capabilities and the functionality of the unit: Power adaptors: you can use the Kamesan PS-M12 mini power supply. Spare battery holders, allowing you to slip in a new power source at a moment’s notice. The Kamesan KS-T2000 case is designed to hold and protect the unit against any wear and tear under the standard conditions of use for which the mixer is designed. In addition, the mixer itself has been designed to be rugged and to stand up to the demands that will be made of it in its expected life. Even so, you should not drop the mixer, or subject it to violent shocks or vibration. Always keep the mixer in its case to avoid any possible damage. If you remove the mixer from the case, and then replace it, al- ways make sure the case clip fits over the lip at the top of the mixer front panel. The touch fasteners at either side may be used to tidy cables, as well as to restrain the mixer in its case. You can use the side pocket in the case to store spare batteries, adaptors, etc. You can secure the top flap using the touch fastener when it is folded back to allow operation of the front panel.

The input side of the unit (on the left as you look at the front) is as follows): Always make and break connections to and from the Kamesan KS- T2000 with the power to the mixer and to all other equipment turned OFF. The mixer can accept a number of different sources at the three XLR input jacks. The type of input for each channel is selected using the channel input mode selector rotary switches: The Kamesan KS-T2000 Input section Input connections Channel input mode selector Setting Meaning P48 Condenser microphones requiring a +48 V phantom power supply Dy-M Dynamic or electret condenser microphones (no external power supply needed) — typically –70 dBs to –30 dBs levels LINE Line-level input (typically –20 dBm to +4 dBm levels) A-B A-B (12V)-type microphone + - 1INPUT3 2 Balanced female XLR connectors used for microphone connection Battery compartment cover (catch at + side, hinge at - side) LineA- B 8 4 P Dy-M
Kamesan KS-T2000 8 Connect balanced cables from microphones to the XLR inputs, and set the switches appropriately: Always make sure that the input mode selected for each channel matches the device connected to the channel BEFORE turning on the power. Selecting the wrong type of device could result in dam- age to equipment. If you have to change the input mode with the power connector, turn down both the input level faders and the monitoring level before changing the input mode. For full details of the levels, impedances, etc. of these jacks, see the section on “Specifications” on page 19. The illustration above shows the Kamesan KS-T2000 connected to a pair of microphones as well as to a wireless receiver. Note that there is one more input connection ( the external mon- itoring input) which may be made to the Kamesan KS-T2000, as explained below: The Kamesan KS-T2000 allows you to input a stereo signal via a mini 3.5 mm jack to the MONI IN input. This signal should be at a nominal –10 dBV level. The front panel switch controls whether this output is monitored or not through the headphones. The level cannot be changed.

Kamesan KS-T2000 10 There are two sets of connections available from the Kamesan KS-T2000: the main balanced connectors and the unbalanced RCA connectors.: You can use these different connectors for professional and semi-professional video equipmen When you make the connections to the balanced connectors, note that there are two switch positions for the level of these out- puts: +4 and –60. Make sure that you make the appropriate level setting for the device connected to the Kamesan KS-T2000. Output connections
