? Kenwood's Flagship THX System.
This preamp processor decodes THX, Dolby Pro-Logic, Dolby 3 Stereo, Mono, and DSP Logic in the digital domain.
The Kenwood turns all analog inputs into digital signals for decoding and then turns them
back into regular analog signals at the outputs which you then connect to external amps.
There are no digital inputs or outputs just regular analog inputs and outputs.
Serves as a preamp and tuner providing inputs for turntable, cd player ,two tape decks,
4-video inputs with rca or two with S-video and three monitor outputs with 2-rca and
one S-video.
There are 3 a/c plugs on the back and a pre out THX 25 pin plug for connecting THX amps.
Has built in THX 80hz crossover on/off switch on the subwoofer output.
Also has remote output jack for connecting other Kenwood amps.
Includes am/fm tuner..
Comes with very hard to find DIN 8 pin cable, a 1/8" cable that connects the two units to
transmit control signal information.
When it was introduced the KC-X1 / KM-X1 Amp / Preamp combination was
Kenwood's flagship THX system.
To quote from one owner's online review:
" It (Kenwood KM-X1 power amplifier) has 6 channels and is a ridiculously powerful and
excellent sounding bit of gear.
It looks like a black steel behemoth. Combined with its original separate and very hard to
find KC-X1 Pre amplifier it is a trip into Japanese Audiophile territory on a budget."

Kenwood Universal Programmable Remote Control Unit

When the Kenwood KM-X1 and KC-X1 are connected this Remote can turn ON/OFF both
