K.2 Series Service Manual
Input/DSP board
The input section consists of three separate inputs (MIC/LINE, LINE/INST, and AUX STEREO) which are summed together
before entering an audio codec that transmits the digitized audio to the DSP. The integrated DSP is configured to process
the incoming audio signal and finely tune it (low/high pass filtering, EQ, limiting, compression, and more) before outputting
the signal(s) to the amplifier stages. Due to this tuning, the K8.2, K10.2, and K12.2 amplifier modules cannot be inter-
changed between each other unless their DSP firmwares are changed. There is also a microprocessor on the input/DSP
board which manages the LCD display, LEDs, buttons, and rotary encoder.
LCD board
The LCD board contains a monochrome display, microUSB connec-
tor, USB/I2C controller, rotary encoder, two navigational buttons, and
debouncer circuitry. The USB controller allows for communication over
the I2C bus between a computer and the microcontroller on the input/
DSP board. The rotary encoder and buttons are read by the microcon-
troller, so a debouncer circuit is implemented to reduce error. Physical
contacts can connect and disconnect multiple times during a button
push or release, so a debouncer circuit cleans up the inputs to the
microcontroller.
The LCD board is powered by the 3.3V rail, which originates on the
input/DSP board and comes into the LCD board at connector J1:pin4.
The 5V bus on the microUSB connector does not provide any power
to other circuits in the amplifier module, and is only monitored by the
USB/I2C controller.
