Reviewsbased on 8 reviewsSTEREO!
by Gary Thomas from CA, USA
I've waited several months after purchase to write a review, in order to use the amp in a variety of venues, with several different bands. I have used a Motion Sound Pro 3T and Pro 3X for years, with ... read more [+]another keyboard amp (not stereo) for Hammond XK-3 and various Roland synths and VK8. I no longer carry the Pro 3 real rotating horns, because the KP-500SN makes even the Hammond's built-in Leslie simulation sound big and fat and warm. My synths have come alive - especially stereo pan/wah/chorus patches. I've played several outdoor gigs and several indoor gigs of differing sizes, and the power has been plenty. The stereo XLR outs are easy and hi-fi. My bandmates have consistently said that they hear me better, like what they hear better, and don't miss the real spinning horn at all. I'm having a lot more fun playing music these days. close [-]
September 10, 2010 Music Background: pro musician A small(ish) amp with very big sound!
by E.J.Todd from Seattle, Wa, USA
I play guitar & guitar synth in a techno-metal band and our following is getting quite sizeable thus the need to upgrade for bigger venues. The plan WAS to aquire better stage volume with a (stereo) l... read more [+]ine out to the p.a. or to a slave. Well, with this thing, the line out/slave thing is now optional. It's sound is clear (deep) loud (tall) & huge (wide), the way the band describes it. For this kind of application, there's a lot of excellent solutions on the market. But, Motion Sound is without a doubt, the best keyboard/synth amplification available. Oh, and it's easy to pack around too. Cheers! close [-]
April 11, 2010 Music Background: Semipro Musician (my night job). the best keyboard amp I've ever heard!
by Mike Prigodich from Portland, OR USA
The Motion Sound KP-500SN stereo keyboard combo amp arrived on Friday and sounds fantastic. I ran my Yamaha Motif XS into the amp and tested out my favorite patches, especially the Full Concert Grand... read more [+] sample of a 9' Yamaha CFIIIS grand piano and was blown away with how real and accurate it sounded compared to an actual acoustic piano. This Motion Sound amp is by far the best amp I've ever used, and now I don't know why I suffered so many years with inferior mono keyboard amps from Roland, Alesis, and Behringer. I'll finally be able to enjoy playing jazz piano gigs with this setup instead of cringing and being forced to switch to a Fender Rhodes patch just to get a decent sound that doesn't annoy me. I'm very happy with my purchase! close [-]
January 18, 2010 Music Background: Pro Musician Motion Sound KP-500Sn - the HOLY GRAIL of sound for the gigging keyboardist
by Ken Maqnn from calgary
I received the motion sound kp500sn about 2 weeks ago. This is the FIRST amplifier that I have ever had that was only limited by the quality of the sound that is input to it! The frequency response,... read more [+] control, richness, power and stereo sound is outstanding. It is very clean, bass to high response is excellent and it has the controls available to tweak to taste. I am currently running Pianoteq, Native instruments B4, Lounge Lizard rhodes, Omnisphere, and Sampletank from a notebook. WOW! The quality is amazing. The stereo expander is great for the piano, tremelo on the rhodes and the leslie emulation of the B4. For a while I gave up on keyboard amps and started using 2 peavey pr15a's to get a great, flat, full range rich stereo keyboard sound. Other keyboards amps were mono and did not offer the rich, flat response I needed. The kp500sn has raised the bar and set a new standard. It is also light (50lb) and has a set of wheels that are great for long hallways and big rooms. I have played keyboards for over 45 years and can highly reccommend this amp to EVERY keyboard player. It's worth every penny and will last you for years. I have NO criticism of this amp. My jazz trio gets great feedback where ever we play and I know that the kp50osn sound quality is a part of it close [-]
October 27, 2009 Music Background: Professional Keyboardist and Pianist. KP-500SN
by Greg Aldridge from North Bend, OR
I just got this cabinet. I have not had a chance to gig with it. So this is a first impression. I'll run two boards through this cabinet: A Diversi Duo (Hammond clone), and a Roland RD700GX. I pl... read more [+]ayed it for several hours last night with the Roland. It is fairly straight forward: solid state, 250 watts per side stere amp with two channels, 500 watts total, integrated into a portable, 48 pound combo cabinet. Each channel has four 1/4" inputs, volume, expander, bass, mid and treble controls. In addition, there is a master volume and master bass cut/boost knob. As a really nice feature it has R/L XLR outs for your p.a., a mic input to channel 2, and outs for a slave unit and sub-woofer. Each channel is coupled to a 12" speaker and two horns. As a result, stereo piano samples come out sounding as they were intended. And the old suitcase rhodes piano panned vibrato sounds that panned from left to right are clear and present. It appears to have enough power, but I haven't played a rock gig with it yet. And it's quiet. Even at max volume settings the hiss is minimal. For jazz gigs it should be great. I'll let you know when I hook my organ whether it's got enough bass to kick left hand bass in a jazz trio without slaving a sub-woofer. Reports are that it can handle it at reasonable volume levels. This is a nice piece for the guy that wants fidelity, power, and doesn't want to load a bunch of heavy gear at 1:30 a.m., and wants to play his stereo piano samples and leslie simulation in stereo! close [-]
