About the case

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, always 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.

Always make and break connections to and from the Kamesan KST2000 with the power to the mixer and to all other equipment turned OFF.

Input connections

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: Channel input mode selector

A- B P48 L ine Dy-M

Setting P48 Dy-M LINE A-B
Meaning Condenser microphones requiring a +48 V phantom power supply Dynamic or electret condenser microphones (no external power supply needed) typically 70 dBs to 30 dBs levels Line-level input (typically 20 dBm to +4 dBm levels) A-B (12V)-type microphone
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 damage 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 monitoring input) which may be made to the Kamesan KS-T2000, as explained below:
External monitoring input
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 Batteries and power
The Kamesan KS-T2000 can use any standard type of battery: manganese, alkaline, nickel-cadmium, nickel-hydride or lithiumion. Four type 3 (AA) size batteries are required. In normal use and temperature conditions, a set of alkaline batteries 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).

Checking the batteries

The three-segment LED display by GOOD > 5hrs (green) the power switch (top right of the FAIR 25hrs (green) front panel) gives the battery status REPLACE 0.51hr (orange) as shown in the illustration here. The number of LEDs lit shows the battery status. When only the bottom orange LED is lit, it is time to replace the batteries with a new set (30 minutes to 1 hours battery life remains). If there is no battery life at all, none of the LEDs are lit, and the batteries should be replaced immediately.
If the unit is not to be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from the unit. Do not leave dead batteries in the unit.

Replacing the batteries

The batteries are contained in a standard battery holder, which slides out for easy replacement. Additional battery holders can be purchased and ready-loaded with spare batteries for easy replacement.
Batteries and power Batteries and power Batteries and power Batteries and power Batteries and power Batteries and power Batteries and power Batteries and power
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 batteries in the holder.
Take care that the batteries are inserted correctly as shown above, with the polarity correct. Never mix batteries of different types, or discarded (or partially-discharged) and new (or freshly-charged) batteries. Always follow the battery manufacturers instructions for charging rechargeable batteries. Never attempt to recharge batteries which are not designed for this purpose. 4. Replace the battery holder into the Kamesan KS-T2000 and close the battery door. Replace the case strap in its original position.
The battery holder should be inserted with the end with two battery contacts entering the compartment first, and with the single metal rivet towards the hinge of the holder door (as shown in the illustration above.
5. Test the battery power and polarity with the power switch (see Checking the batteries on page 12).
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 actually in use (phantom power, headphone amp, etc.), the true battery status will be shown.

Extending battery life

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 can increase the battery life very significantly). Setting the XLR output level switch to the +4 setting can reduce battery consumption. Cold batteries have a shorter life than warm ones. In winter or other cold conditions, you may want to keep the batteries warm when they are not in use. At 0C (32F), battery life is about 60% less than at 20C (68F).

Using an external battery
As long as the connector conforms to the polarity of the Kamesan KS-T2000 connector (tip negative), a BP-90-type battery can be used for external power of the mixer.

Using an AC adapter

The Kamesan KS-T2000 can use one of two optional external adapters: PS-M12 mini power supply SS-40611 MkII low noise power supply Alternatively, any other power supply may be used (although this is not recommended), provided that it conforms to the following specifications: Connector: BP-90 type with tip negative Voltage: >9.0 V and <16.0 V Power: >0.5 A Any non-Kamesan AC adapter should also incorporate ripple reduction circuitry.
The use of any adapter other than the type specified here may result 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 Kamesan KS-T2000, making sure that the polarity of the adapter connector matches that of the Kamesan KS-T2000. When DC power is supplied to the Kamesan KS-T2000, this takes priority over any internal batteries (which are not used when the adapter is connected and power is supplied). When the adapter is disconnected, the batteries are used again.
Kamesan KS-T2000 Operations
The following explains some of the principles of operating the Kamesan KS-T2000 when all the connections have been made:

Channel mixing

Adjust the relative levels of the inputs by using the level controls (faders). Turning these controls fully counterclockwise attenuates the signals, and turning them fully clockwise boosts them. The nominal position (neither cut nor boost) is marked as shown here.

Nominal position

To make the best use of the Kamesan KS-T2000s gain structure, we recommend setting the channel fader control to this nominal position, and adjusting the trim level to obtain the appropriate reading on the VU meter (as described in Adjusting the input gain on page 17).

Routing the inputs

Each input can be assigned to either the left master output, the right master output, or both. Use the L and R switches to send the input signals to L R the left and right outputs: When these switches are in the up position, the input is assigned to the appropriate output bus.

Low-cut filtering

The Kamesan KS-T2000 provides three low-cut (highpass) filters at 160 Hz with a slope of 12 dB/octave. Use these independently-switchable filters (one on each channel) to counteract the effects of wind noise, rumble, etc. Set the switch to the up position to engage the filter.

Monitoring

Use the headphone jack to monitor the outputs. The volume output from the headphones is adjusted with the (yellow) control.

The [L+R] setting is also used for the external monitoring source (see External monitoring input on page 8).

Adjusting the input gain

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 sure that it is enabled (Low-cut filtering on page 16). 3. Ensure that the input is routed appropriately (Routing the inputs on page 16). 4. Ensure that an appropriate monitoring mode is selected (Monitoring on page 16). 5. Turn down all input faders, except the one which is to be adjusted, which should be set to the nominal position. 6. While the input sound is being input through the microphone, etc., turn the channels input gain control so that the VU meter indicates a healthy level (not into the red, but kicking the 0 mark is fine). 7. When the level has been set up to your satisfaction, turn the channels input fader all the way down, and repeat the process for all the other channels in turn.
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 considerable leeway. On the input stage, there is about 28 dB available, and on the output stage, about 17 dB is available

Setting and monitoring the output level
To help you match the levels of the Kamesan KS-T2000 with the recorder connected to the outputs, the mixer is fitted with an integral 1 kHz line-up oscillator. In order to see the output level using the oscillator: 1. Make sure that both the OUTPUT level switches are set to the correct value (usually +4). 2. Turn the power on (up), and then turn the oscillator switch on (up). 3. To monitor both channels together, set the monitoring selection switch to the L/R setting (see Monitoring on page 16 for an explanation of the monitoring switch settings). 4. Adjust the level of the outputs so that the VU meter reads 0 dB. 5. Remember to turn the oscillator off when the adjustment has been made.
