Two channels for true stereo reproduction. Two 1/4 in. inputs. 3-band EQ per channel.

Motion Sound KP100S Keyboard Amplifier
The KP-100S provides true stereo amplification for Keyboards, sound modules, and all quality sound sources in a modern rugged single cabinet design.
Modern keyboards, samplers and synthesizers are carefully designed to produce stereo sound. When mixed to mono, these sounds are often compromised and muted. The KP-100S unique angled cabinet front in conjunction with our proprietary 3D-expander circuitry provides a wide stereo field that retains location cues from the sound source. The adjustable expander spreads the stereo sound field beyond the confines of the cabinet reproducing the full sonic capability of your Keyboard(s) and sound sources in true stereo.

Owner's Manual

Reviewers gave this product an overall rating of 2 out of 5 stars. (16 ratings)

"A good sound, but way too quite for a 50watt amp."

Overall: 2 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
A great idea, but I think the advertised wattage of this amp is wrong. It's way too quite for gigging and I usually gig in a fairly quite jazz band.
Sound
The overall sound is good. My main concern is the lack of volume. It's very quite for a twin 50w amp. It can't match volume with similar small guitar and bass combos. Also the effectiveness of the EQ (bass midd treble) is quite limited with only what sounds like a very small change in the frequency of the sound
Features
The amps main feature is it's stereo output which does really help bring keyboard patches to life. It lacks a master volume or any effect send/return features.
Ease of Use
Very just plug in and play. It's lack of features makes use very straight forward
Quality
I took the back off mine and the wiring inside looks a bit on the cheap side, also the power amps have no real heat sink, they're just glued to the rear metal panel.
Value
If it was louder and had a more effective EQ, it would be a good buy. As it is, I'm disappointed with this product.
Manufacturer Support
They're easy to reach and friendly.
The Wow Factor
I'm planning to sell mine and get something with a more realistic volume for live gigs.
