The Roland KC-880 Stereo Keyboard Amplifier builds on the famous high-quality KC sound with a new stereo design, powered through a 320-watt stereo power amplifier, two 12-inch woofers and two horn tweeters. This design delivers the most accurate sonic representation of the performance, with wide, clear full-spectrum sound.
New onboard stereo effects such as Tremolo, Rotary, and Reverb, give musicians a whole new range of keyboard and vocal performance possibilities. The new stereo Chorus effect also gives the KC-880 unprecedented spatial depth and detail.
Flexible I/O options come as standard on the KC-880. There are a total of five stereo input channels—four stereo instrument inputs, and an additional stereo AUX input with dedicated volume control to play external sources like rhythm machines, CD/MP3 players, or mixers. The KC-880 also includes XLR line outputs to a front-of-house mixer, stereo headphone output, and more. The Stereo Link function enables the chaining of two KC-880s for an expanded stereo stage sound.
High-Powered Performance for the Entire Band
The KC amp series is packed with high-performance features. With five stereo input channels, 320 watts of power and Roland’s famous DSP effects built in, the KC-880 is a portable powerhouse for keyboards, vocals, and more.

In addition to stereo chorus, the KC-880 also provides tremolo and rotary effects for keyboards, and a lush stereo reverb for vocals and other instruments.
Flexible and Comprehensive I/O
