OWNER’S MANUAL

Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland Stereo Keyboard Amplifier 

 

KC-880.

These sections provide important information concerning the proper operation of the unit. 

Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have gained a good grasp of every feature 

provided by your new unit, owner’s manual should be read in its entirety. The manual should be 

saved and kept on hand as a convenient reference.

Main Features

A monitor-speaker amplifier for keyboards featuring high-power, completely stereo 

specifications

 

This amp can deliver 320 watts of output (160 W + 160 W), and is equipped with two 12-

inch (30-cm) speakers and two tweeters.

Features a total of five channels of stereo input

 

In addition to four-channel input, the amp is equipped with an AUX input jack, enabling 

you to connect such devices as a rhythm machine, a CD or MP3 player, or an external mixer. 

The unit is provided with an exclusive volume control for AUX input that lets you fine-tune 

the volume level (p. 11).

Easy-to-use stereo effect unit

 

An effect unit that takes advantage of the stereo specifications to make sounds seem 

broader and thicker is built in.

 

You can easily enjoy chorus, tremolo, and rotary effects familiar to keyboard players.

 

A built-in reverb also expands the range of possible applications using a microphone.

Control using a footswitch pedal is also possible.

Monitor feature

 

A convenient monitor-input feature for using guide clicks (such as synchronizing signals for 

a sequencer or a rhythm machine) is built in.

Built-in Stereo Link feature

 

A Stereo Link feature for applications that need even higher power is built in (p. 14).

A full range of output jacks for stereo headphones, line out, and more

 

The amp is equipped with outputs for headphones, line out, and more, providing high 

expandability that can accommodate a variety of applications.
