Roland KC550 Keyboard Amplifier

Now with Subwoofer Output!
The flagship KC-550 amplifier integrates 180 watts of clean power with a precision two-way speaker system (15" woofer with a 2" horn) and a four stereo input mixer section. The subwoofer output connects to the new Roland KCW-1 Powered Subwoofer for some serious low end. Other features incude an XLR microphone input, an Aux input (RCA), 3-band EQ, and line out with both XLR and 1/4" connectors. The powerful KC550 is perfect for professional keyboard, electronic percussion, guitar synth and small PA applications.

Features

  • Flagship keyboard amplifier with powerful 180-watt/15” speaker and horn tweeter
  • Output Select feature and convenient
  • Shape switch for tonal adjustment
  • 3-band EQ and Subwoofer output compatible with new KCW-1
  • XLR Line output for connection to mixing consoles
  • Stereo Link In/Out for chaining to KC-550s for stereo applications

When choosing a keyboard amplifier, make sure it measures up to this:

Up to 4-Channel Mixing
All KC amplifiers feature a flexible mixing section designed with the performing musician in mind. Roland's flagship models feature up to four stereo inputs, and all KC amps include a Microphone input and stereo Auxiliary input for connecting CD players.

Stereo Link Capabilities
The KC-350 and KC-550 include Roland’s Stereo Link feature for chaining two amplifiers. Using a single cable, you can connect two KC amps for true stereo sound while controlling them both from the amp nearest you on stage.

Subwoofer-Ready
Want more low end? Simply add an optional subwoofer like Roland’s new KCW-1. Connections are easy, thanks to the Subwoofer output found on all new KC amps. Now even the most affordable models can sound huge!

Made for the Road
KC amps are built for life on the road. All models have built-in handles for easier transportation (the KC-550 also includes casters) and a rugged design with heavy-duty carpeting, protective edges and an all-metal grille.

Overall:

QUALITY:
quality. sheesh. this amp keeps blowing out the horn. and at fifty bucks a replacement...well...

FEATURES:
four inputs is very nice. but unless you want to spring for another amp and cabinet the stereo is useless. which leads to the mono sound of this amp. flat. seems to be a hole in the low end of 200 hz or so for on a piano which makes it 'tinny' sounding to say the least.

EASE OF USE:
heavy piece of furniture. however, the easy takeout casters are a good design especially for monitor use.

VALUE:
this thing sounds like well someone put foil over the speakers. the periodic replacement of the blown horn is a drag. your not going to compete with 'mr. no dynamics guitarplayer' with this one.

SOUND:
uhhh. think i answered this in the above paragraph.

STYLE:
blues, rock, jazz

MUSIC EXPERIENCE:
30 years of lifting heavy stuff.

Overall:

QUALITY:
This product is very well constructed... its hard frame and metal grating will protect it from just about anything. It could last a good while even with things falling on it. It smells good also :D

FEATURES:
Velcro cable tie simplifies transport. 3-band EQ makes tuning easier, not having to walk back and forth between the instrument and amp. Independent phones volume, XLR output... This is just a sample of the very solid, appropriate set of features.

EASE OF USE:
Honestly, there is no piece of equipment easier to use than an amp. But this amp especially lets you do so many more things, while still keeping the operation easy. There was no manual, but really, who needs a manual for an amp?

VALUE:
Appropriately priced, but I wouldn't call it a bargain.

SOUND:
Amazingly clear, balanced sound at any volume level. Any good music will sound amazing through this amp. If you hear a bad sound from this

Overall:

QUALITY:
Only had it a few days, but the quality seems to be excellent. I'm using it in a studio so road rigors aren't an issue.

FEATURES:
The sound is the best feature of the KC 500 - that's what I bought it for. The lows and highs it produces are very nice.

EASE OF USE:
About as easy as it comes - plug it in and play.

VALUE:
I would say yes - in most cases, you get what you pay for.

SOUND:
As mentioned, this amp has a very nice sound. I can hear things from the keyboard that I couldn't hear with the previous amp I was using - much like a high-quality preamp does for a microphone. It's supposed to be a keyboard amp, but it also sounds good on bass and for amplifying Roland drums. I intend to use it for all three.

STYLE:
old time rock and roll, country

MUSIC EXPERIENCE:
40 years

OVERALL:
This is just a good-sounding amp. It's very clean, by design
