Also standard on the KC-Series amplifiers are balanced line outs and a dedicated mic-level input for vocals or small P.A. applications.
Stereo Link Because modern electronic instruments output in stereo, the KC-300 and KC-500 also incorporate a useful Stereo Link feature. This allows for a full stereo setup using two ampsjust plug the Stereo Link Out jack of one amp into the Stereo Link In jack of another using a standard instrument cable. You can then separate your amps as desired for stunning stereo-field projection while controlling your sound from the master amp nearest you on stage.

KC-Series amps feature a slantstyle cabinet, rugged industrialstyle steel speaker grille, protective carpet-material covering and a one-year limited warranty. All of which will help ensure that these amps deliver pristine, high-fidelity amplification for your electronic instruments for years to come.

KC-100

Monitor Capability The KC-Series includes some features very useful for on-stage monitoring. As noted, the KC100, KC-300 and KC-500 allow for signals to be monitored without sending them through the balanced line outs. This is crucial for on-stage monitoring, as it allows you to send signalsa metronome click, a vocal mic, a guitar feed, etc. through the headphones or the internal speaker, but not the house sound system. The KC-100 and KC-300 can be easily mounted on a standard tripod stand, giving you the option of ear-level monitoring, while the KC-500 has four removable casters that make it an attractive monitor amp as welljust remove the two rear casters for the perfect wedge monitor angle!
odern electronic instrument signals are among the toughest sounds to amplify. To faithfully reproduce sounds from todays digital instruments, your amp has got to be painstakingly designed with precision components. Roland Audio Development U.S. designed the new KC-Series Keyboard Amplifier to deliver all the highs and lows generated by modern keyboards, guitar synths, electronic percussion sets and even vocals and deliver it does!
and 15-inch speakers, respectively, and discrete power amplifier circuitry. We then developed high-efficiency horn drivers in the KC-300 and KC500 and a precision tweeter in the KC-100 to accurately punctuate the high frequencies. And we made tonal shaping intuitive, with active equalization controls3-band on the KC500, 2-band on the KC-300 and KC-100and a master volume control. The 60-watt KC-100, 100-watt KC-300 and 150-watt KC-500s internal circuitry lives up to the uncompromising quality that has become a hallmark of Roland electronic instruments delivering power and precision beyond that of other amplifiers. Just plug your keyboard, guitar synth or electronic percussion set into a KC-Series amp to hear
the powerful, rich tone that your electronic instrument deserves.
Mixing Capability Where the KC-Series really shines is in its versatility. The KC amplifiers are true mixing instrument amplifiers featuring: eight 1/4-inch inputs (four stereo pairs) on the flagship KC500; seven 1/4-inch inputs, including dedicated mic/line inputs and a monitor input, on the KC-300; and four 1/4-inch inputs, including a dedicated monitor input, on the KC-100. All three models feature separate gain controls for each channel. This means that you can independently mix four stereo (or eight mono) sources on the KC-500, two stereo plus two mono (or six mono)

sources on the KC-300 or four mono sources on the KC-100 without the use of an external submixermixing capabilities not found on any other amp in this class. The KC-500 goes a step further by allowing musicians to designate where the fourth stereo input will be sent: to the headphone out (which has an independent level control); to the headphone out and the internal speaker; or to the headphone out, the internal speaker and the balanced stereo line outs. This flexible routing option lets you send a metronome click, for example, to the headphones and internal speaker without sending it to the stereo line outscrucial for those who would like to play to a click but not have it sent to the house sound system.
