The flagship keyboard amplifier from Roland - serious 320-watt power
The Roland KC-880 sits at the top of Roland's renowned KC keyboard amplifier line, with its blistering 320 watts of power via two 12" woofers and two horn tweeters. Just as with all of Roland's KC amplifiers, the KC-880 sounds excellent - and extras such as onboard DSP effects give way for sweetening its powerhouse sound. A 3-band low/middle/high equalizer is also onboard.

Onboard DSP effects, including reverb, chorus, tremolo, and rotary
Not only does the Roland KC-880 pack 320 watts of power, it also features Roland DSP effects, making it an even more flexible onstage tool. On each of its four channels, you can turn the master effects on or off. Available effects include Reverb, Chorus, Tremolo, and Rotary. There's also a speed control for the rotary effect. A footswitch jack is available for controlling the effects remotely.

Four channels of I/O with stereo line inputs on each channel
The KC-880 is designed for professional keyboard amplification needs - and it's also loaded with four channels, so you can connect up plenty of gear at one time. On each of its four channels, there are stereo (L/Mono, R) line inputs. And, on the first channel you can connect an XLR microphone - or a line or stereo instrument. Apart from its four main channels, the KC-880 sports other essential connections for serious stage needs. It features three Aux In/Monitor In inputs, with stereo 1/4" connectors on the first, stereo RCA connectors on the second, and a stereo 1/8" connector on the third.

Need more power? Link two KC-880s together in stereo
While the KC-880 has a tremendous amount of power on its own, for the most demanding live sound applications, you can link use its stereo link feature to connect it to another 320-watt KC-880.

Line outputs and headphone jack
For outputs, you have your choice of XLR balanced outputs or 1/4" unbalanced outputs. A 1/4" headphone jack is also onboard.

Casters included for easier transport
The KC-880 is an incredibly powerful keyboard amplifier - and with its 97 lb. weight and rugged handles, it's still manageable to bring out on tour. Roland also gave the KC-880 four casters, to make treks across the stage and into position much easier.

Roland KC-880 is one powerful amp!

by Jerry Massie from Wellston, OH 45692
November 22, 2011
Music Background: church musician, concert musician, multi-instrumentalist (12)
The KC-880 is a very powerful stereo keyboard amp. I fed the signal from a Roland Atelier AT-90S organ through it for a Veteran's Day concert at a large church with very high vaulted ceilings, lots o... read more [+]f angles in the sanctuary, hundreds of people in attendance, and the amp was partially obscured behind the pulpit and an 8-foot altar. I ran the organ master volume on 6 and the KC-880 master volume on 4, and had more than enough volume to play thundering Sousa marches and the Armed Forces service songs.

The KC-880 has nice XLR outputs to feed signal to the house PA, a nice feature although I didn't need it for this concert. The dual 12-inch woofers easily handle all the low end I fed it from the organ -- and I fed it a LOT of bass during the marches. 4 channel inputs, FX and tone controls make this amp very versatile for any type of room.

Hi freq hiss began to appear above a master volume setting of 6, though you would not hear it with a signal coming through the amp, and I did not go above 4 for this performance. A hi freq rolloff filter, or a quieter amp, would help with this issue.

All-in-all this amp was everything I expected from a Roland product, rugged construction, gutsy performance, versatility, good sound, and enormous volume. And heavy! 100 pounds of guts!

Sweetwater sound did an outstanding job getting this amp to me in a VERY timely manner -- 2 days! My sales rep Scott facilitated sales order processing and shipment and communicated with me directly via email. It was conforting to know that someone at Sweetwater was going to make sure I got the product on time and was happy with what I got.

I'll be back, Sweetwater! Thanks for outstanding service! You get a 5! close [-]

Our Customers Say...

I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
