XK100 Keyboard Amplifier  
Congratulations!  
You are now the proud owner of the Crate XK100 keyboard amplifier. This ver-  
satile and great sounding amp features a 15” Crate Custom woofer and two LeSon  
dome tweeters housed in a ported tuned enclosure. Each of the four discreet chan-  
nels has its own level and reverb/effect control. Channel 1 also has separate low and  
high rotary EQ controls, switchable phantom power, and a balanced low impedance  
mic in jack. The master section features a 5-band graphic equalizer, a balanced line  
out jack with level control, and CD input jacks which allow you to play along with your  
favorite music. External effects may be patched into the amplifier by means of the  
Send and Return jacks, and headphones may be connected for personal monitoring  
as well as private practice sessions.  
The XK100 ’s angled cabinet allows you to use it as an upward projecting floor  
monitor or stand it upright like a conventional amplifier.  
Like all Crate products, your XK100 is designed by musicians, and built using  
only the best components. Extensive testing at the hands (and ears) of skilled tech-  
nicians and musicians insures you that this amplifier is the absolute best it can be.  
In order to get the most out of your new amplifier, we strongly urge you to go over  
the information contained in this manual before you begin playing.  
And thank you for choosing

1. MIC IN: Use this balanced XLR jack to connect a low impedance balanced microphone signal to  
Channel 1 of the amplifier by means of a shielded microphone cable.  
2. LINE IN: Use this balanced 1/4” jack to connect a high impedance microphone or other line level  
signal to Channel 1 of the amplifier by means of a shielded microphone or instrument cable.  
NOTE: Both the Mic In and Line In jacks may used simultaneously, however both of their lev-  
els are controlled by the Channel 1 Level control (#3).  
3. LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the level of the signal connected to the corresponding channel’s  
input jack.  
4. PEAK: This LED illuminates when the corresponding channel’s input signal level nears clipping. For  
the best signal to noise ratio, adjust the channel’s Level control until this LED flashes on strong signal  
peaks.  
5. REV/EFF: Use this control to adjust the amount of reverberation applied to the signal at the corre-  
sponding input jack.  
6. PHANTOM POWER: This switch, when depressed, applies 15 volts of phantom power to the Mic  
In jack. Engage this switch when using microphones which require phantom power.  
7. LOW: Use this control to adjust the low frequency level of the Channel 1 signal. Rotating the con-  
trol counterclockwise reduces the low frequency output. Rotating the control clockwise increases the  
low frequency output.  
8. HIGH: Use this control to adjust the high frequency level of the Channel 1 signal. Rotating the con-  
trol counterclockwise reduces the high frequency output. Rotating the control clockwise increases the  
high frequency output.
