Traynor - K1

Description

Background:
In the 1970s, Yorkville Sound was the first company we know of to design and build dedicated keyboard amplification. That was their ground-breaking "RVS" line. Since then their introduction of the Traynor Bloc-100K in the early 1980s, Stage 100K in the later 80s and a succession of influential models since then has established Yorkville as a premier innovator in this field. The Traynor K series makes this amply clear.

Model K1 Details:
The Traynor K1 keyboard amplifier offers comprehensive features and crystal clear acoustic reproduction in an ultra compact combo amplifier format. Built for maximum versatility, the 120 watt K1 can be used upright for projecting across a stage, on a typical speaker stand when used as a single speaker micro PA, or as a personal wedge monitor, tucking easily under a keyboard rig on even the most crowded stage.

The simple yet effective input section of the K1 provides one stereo input with EQ, a second full function mono channel with EQ and an XLR combi-jack mic/line input, a third mono channel with 1/4-inch TRS balanced input, and an additional pair of RCA auxiliary inputs, ideal for CD or MP3 Player.

The K1 uses a single 10-inch low frequency woofer and a 4.75-inch mid-high driver in the 120-watt mono combo. A Link jack in the master section allows two K1s to be connected together, combining the full mixing functions of both units when creating a true stereo 240-watt system. Classic K Series features such as a balanced Line output, speaker-canceling headphone jack, all metal bar handles and speaker standmount adaptor are included.

The Traynor K1 Keyboard amplifier is built in Canada using solid multi-ply cabinet construction and an all-metal punched grill to protect the high quality speaker components. Like all amplifiers in the Series, Yorkvilles Two Year Unlimited Warranty covers the Traynor K1.
