KXPA100 --> KX3/PX3 Question

[James Bennett]

I've got a KX3 and PX3 at the moment, and am considering the purchase of the KXPA100 and KXAT100. Looking at the user manual of the amp, I see that there is an optional cable (KX3 to KXPA100 Adapter Cable) that should be used to have the units all operate as a cohesive unit. However, it appears that this cable has one line that plugs into the KX3's ACC1 jack. Right now, that jack has a cable running over to the PX3. How is this conflict resolved? Didn't see any sort of "Y" connector / cable on the order page, nor mention of using the amp/tuner when a PX3 is involved. What am I missing?

Jim,

Refer to page 9 of the PX3 manual.  The system integrates nicely with
the PX3CBL supplied with the PX3.

The 3.5mm plug from that cable plugs into the "ACC1 PC" port on the PX3. The PX3 manual has a picture that shows how you need to connect the KX3, PX3, and KXPA100. Not sure why this picture isn't also in the KXPA100 manual.

There is a ACC1 line out of the PX3 that the amp cable plugs into.  See page 9 of the PX3 manual.

Bob, Ryan, and Don -


Thanks for the replies! After looking at the PX3 manual I see what a simple connection it turns out to be! Just need to run the PC connection from the KXPA100 and not the PX3, thus freeing up the ACC1 port on the PX3.

Happy Holidays to you guys and everyone else on the reflector - 73…
