Big Sound in a Compact Keyboard Amp

The Roland KC-80 3-channel keyboard amplifier is your ideal compact keyboard amplifier, complete with onboard mixing and full-range sound. In fact, it's also a well-equipped portable PA, with an auxiliary input for external audio and an XLR microphone input for vocals. With a 10" woofer and separate tweeter driven by 50 watts of power, the KC-80 is ready for practice sessions, gigs, and even street performances. If you came to Sweetwater searching for a versatile keyboard amplifier, you've found it in the Roland KC-80.

Deeper bass and better sonic balance

Roland's KC-series amplifiers have been some of the most popular keyboard amps at Sweetwater for over a decade. This KC-80 represents the latest generation of the KC series, featuring a redesigned power amp and power supply. These not only provide more stable operation than ever, but they also help the KC-80 serve up deeper bass and a wider sonic range overall.

Custom speakers for enhanced detail and depth

To take advantage of its revamped power section, the KC-80 keyboard amp features a custom-designed 10" speaker for exceptional fidelity. Combined with its built-in tweeter, the KC-80 delivers solid lows, prominent mids, and detailed highs. Synth bass patches thump with authority, while piano and organ sounds speak with clarity and detail. Whatever you plug into it, the KC-80 amplifies it with stellar sound quality.

Roland KC-80 Keyboard Amplifier Features:

  • Compact keyboard amp for practice and performance
  • Highly efficient 50-watt amplifier with 10" speaker and horn tweeter
  • 3-channel design includes 1/4" line input and XLR microphone input

ROLAND KC-80

This amplifier is, one word, FANTASTIC. The power and sonic quality are beyond 5 stars. I'm using it with my Roland FP-90X piano. I just ordered another one today to give true stereo and additional power to my gigs. If you want more info, email me at muzicman1@aol.com. ....Johnny Angel

Great amp for the money

I bought this amp because of the compact size and Roland reputation. It is an excellent small amp with a big sound. In practice sessions it keeps up with 2 guitars, bass and drums nicely. In a live situation I use it as a personal monitor and send the line out to the mains.

In a nutshell: Great value, great sound, great sales experience.
Music background: 45 years of gigging.

Just what I was hoping for

I wanted an amp that was more portable (lighter) than my KC-400. The KC-400 is a fine, kicking amp, but its a beast to carry around for smaller gigs and practice sessions. I knew the KC-80 at 27 pounds would be easier to tote, but I figured I would give up a lot in terms of punch and fidelity. Wrong on both counts! This little tater pumps it out! When I use it as a monitor, I literally feel how much air it moves. And its a Roland, so the build quality is unmistakable. Yes, they are a bit pricy compared to Behringer, etc., but to me, its worth the extra. Totally please with this amp. And Sweetwater had it to me in two days, in time for a gig.

Well worth it !!!

I bought an inexpensive yamaha keyboard with built in speakers...is good but wanted much more volume out of it...so i saw this amp and mulled it over and got it...so glad i did !!! This baby cranks and has very very excellent clarity !!! Just need to remember turn volume switches all the down before turning on and off to avoid any popping sounds...thats according to the manuel...no probs with it and am a happy camper !!! Wood absolutely buy another one if i needed one...once again thanx Matt Christopherson for ur recommendation on this...u guys rocks....

Great Little Power Box

I bought this amp for practice. I have the KC-880 for gigs. But, this little light-weight amp has a great big sound for it's
size. I may try this for my next gig and see how well it does with my Hammond Sk1 73 and Nord Stage 3 88 plugged into it.
Music background: Professional musician since 1984.

Simply put, modern electronic music wouldn't exist without Roland. Many of the electronic musicians here at Sweetwater cut our teeth on TR Rhythm machines and fondly remember programming our first TB-303s. We owe a good part of our careers to this amazing and innovative company. It's been fun to watch and grow right alongside Roland, as they've introduced wave after wave of revolutionary keyboards, digital pianos, and more. For example, Roland's V-Drum Kits continuously redefine the possibilities of electronic drums, beginning with SuperNATURAL technology to the latest Prismatic Sound Modeling. We're huge fans, and we'd love to tell you all about them. Whether you want a pocket-sized synth or a cutting-edge video mixer, if Roland makes it, then Sweetwater is 100% behind it.
