dedicated inputsRoland’s most powerful KC amp is a complete stereo sound system in a single package, perfect for backline amplification, stage monitoring, and even main PA use. Featuring four stereo line input channels, you can connect keyboards, percussion pads, drum machines, and more. There’s also a dedicated auxiliary input to plug in a smartphone or music player for backing tracks.
Channel 1 also includes an XLR input, allowing you to connect a vocal mic for extra versatility. The Aux In channel supports 1/8-inch, RCA, and ¼-inch connections, and features a handy monitor function for working with guide tracks on stage.
Versatile Connectivity for Performing, Recording and Practice
Built-In Stereo EffectsThe KC-990 is equipped with four different effects for enhancing your live sound. The chorus effect is taken from Roland’s world-famous JC-series amps, delivering unmatched depth and dimension through the KC-990’s stereo speakers. The amp also includes tremolo and rotary effects that work great with organs and electric pianos, plus a stunning stereo reverb for vocals and instruments. By connecting optional footswitches, you can turn the effects on/off and control rotary speed hands-free while performing.
Thanks to its rear-panel connectivity, the KC-990 integrates easily into any playing environment. Stereo line outputs are available on both XLR and ¼-inch jacks, offering simultaneous connections for interfacing with PA systems, stage monitors, and recording devices. The XLR outputs also have a switchable ground lift, which removes hum that can sometimes occur when connecting to a main PA. You also get a headphones jack, perfect for silent practice sessions and discrete monitoring of guide tracks and instruments on stage.
Expand Your Setup with Stereo Link
super stereoIf you ever need to expand your inputs or sound coverage, the KC-990’s Stereo Link function makes it nice and easy. First off, the number of available inputs doubles when you connect to the two stereo link jacks on a second KC-990.
Along with this, the left and right signals of connected instruments are split across the two amps, providing super-wide stereo dispersion for even more impressive sound.
