The KX-R is designed with a focus on high-quality audio reproduction. It includes four balanced (XLR) and four single-ended (RCA) inputs, two pairs of balanced (XLR) outputs, and two balanced (XLR) tape outputs. The preamplifier is controlled via a central display and ergonomic controls on the front panel, which are also accessible through a full-function remote control. The KX-R's VGT volume control allows for variable gain in 60 increments of 1dB each, providing a simplified signal path and maintaining a constant signal-to-noise ratio regardless of volume setting.
