Product Info

The KC-990 is a serious keyboard amp—it’s got the power and clean headroom to handle pro gigs. The built-in mixer is a huge convenience for rehearsals and smaller shows, and that horn tweeter really cuts through the mix. This is a great choice for gigging keyboardists who need a reliable, self-contained solution.
