RM KLV1000 VIP Schematic

Post by arcone »

Does anyone out there have a schematicm and PCB layout for the KLV1000 VIP? There's plenty of info for the 1000P, but nothing on the VIP and I have noticed there are some differences. Thanks.

Have you tried emailing RM Italy, they would probably send you a link to a PDF site, be warned it might be in Italian, have your "google" translator handy.

A friend of mine did last week and they do not have a schematic for it. How ridiculous is that.

Everything I have read says the 1000P and the VIP are the same except the VIP was a limited edition (the fancy faceplate). There looks like a difference in the 1000 and the 1000P models, the "P" (stands for Professional), has a receive pre-amp.

There are some component value differences and I think even a slight PCB layout variation. I would like the actual schematic so I can confirm it, of coarse all of the schematics are for the other similar models. When you look inside these you soon learn that there are differing values like the plate capacitors for example. I have noticed this variation in a KLV 400 as well, don't know why exactly.
