The Traynor Keymaster K4 is an extremely versatile stereo keyboard combo-amplifier, designed to provide
a wide spectrum of tonal range. Simple yet powerful features result in wonderfully sounding and adaptable
unit that is responsive to studio and onstage needs. The Traynor Keymaster K4 gives you complete control
of your vision – with a minimum amount of tweaking.

The Traynor Keymaster K4 consists of three built-in amplifiers, providing ample power for true stereo operation
and an integral mono-summed subwoofer. A pair of 50 watt amps drive the left and right channels, delivering
the mid and high frequencies through a set of 4.5-inch, 30-watt midrange drivers and a pair of 20-watt 2.5-inch
compression drivers (with horns). A 200-watt Low Frequency amplifier drives a 12-inch, 200-watt dynamic woofer.

A pair of 12AX7 tubes lends an inspired classic sound to Channel 1’s stereo channel. These preamp tubes supply
warmth while smoothing out harsh harmonic overtones (often associated with many modern Digital keyboards). The
12AX7’s natural compression provides the kind of subtle dynamics that can’t be properly emulated by most of today’s
digital workstations (DAWs). The warmth and character of vintage synthesizers and organs are also maintained.

Channel 1 also features a Tube Overdrive control, for those who like to add some grit to their playing. Depending on
the level selected, your sound can embrace in the warmth of a vintage glow – or burn with the aggression of full-on
overdrive. Use this feature to add body to a sterile keyboard tone, or recreate it entirely in the image of classic tube
tone. A single-latching footswitch, like our AFS-1, can be used to enable the Lead/Overdrive feature. If a footswitch
is connected, control by the front panel switch is disabled. Additional tonal control is provided by the three-band EQ
and 5-position voicing preset switch (Bypass, Studio, Live, Piano, Organ).
And for those times when the cleanest signal path possible is preferred,
a switch toggles between either the tube preamp or a Solid-State signal
path (bypassing the tube on the input altogether).

Channel 2 features it’s own Gain control and a 3-band EQ.
Inputs include a stereo pair of balanced 1/4-inch TRS inputs
and an individual XLR (for mono-only operation with a mic).

Channel 3 also has an independent Gain control to set
the levels for the stereo pair of balanced 1/4-inch TRS and
stereo RCA inputs. All three channels feature their own
input clip LEDs (for simple monitoring of input levels)
and a Volume control.

Channel 4’s inputs and Gain control can be found
on the rear panel. This auxiliary channel provides an
additional input for use with an external click track, drum
monitor mix, or even a microphone feed from the FOH (or
monitor console). These inputs may even be used for monitoring two
different sources if desired. The signal goes directly into the power
amplifier, bypassing the Master Volume and Line Outs entirely.
