Roland is introducing the KC-60 Keyboard Amplifier. This amp puts three channels of KC sound into a compact design backed by a 40-watt amp. It's also the first KC-Series amplifier to offer a Subwoofer output for enhanced low end capability.

Developed for the needs of modern synthesizers, digital pianos and keyboards, the KC-60 reproduces the wide range of sounds these instruments can produce using a powerful, 40-watt amplifier with 10-inch speaker and separate tweeter. A special Subwoofer output (compatible with most subwoofers on the market) lets users connect an optional subwoofer for increased low end.

While built primarily for keyboards, the KC-60 can also be used with a microphone and CD player, making it an extremely versatile amp. Three input channels are provided, each with its own volume control. These include an XLR Mic input, plus a stereo Aux input for playing along with CDs or other line-level sources. Inputs can be further shaped using the KC-60's Low and High EQ knobs.

Connections to the KC-60 include three 1/4-inch inputs (mono), an XLR Mic input, a stereo Aux input (RCA-type), plus a 1/4-inch Line output (mono) and 1/4-inch Subwoofer output (mono).
