The entire audio spectrum from below 63 Hz to above 16 kHz is covered, allowing you to fine-tune specific frequencies to help you sculpt the perfect sound. Special attention has been paid to the critical midrange frequencies, which can make or break your tone.

Channel Your Sound

The KXD12 gives you 4 independent stereo channels, each with separate Volume and FX Send controls, plus an additional XLR mic input on Channel 1 for the direct connection of a dynamic microphone.

Like many E-drummers I found the selection of dedicated drum amps and monitors to be lacking or underpowered...at least how it relates to my particular setup. Originally I bought a Roland CM-220 amp to pair with my drums but was I always either limited by it's underpowered performance or it's lack of additional inputs for my other kit pieces. Doing a little research I knew this time around I either wanted a keyboard amp or a dedicated PA system, both of which seemed to solve the same problems others were having like mine. I almost purchased a Roland KC-880 but really wanted the stereo signal a little wider than being based in one cabinet. I decided on two of these KXD12's based on gobs of reviews and they did not disappoint. They give me just enough control to shape my sound at all power levels and most importantly I have plenty of inputs for my Octapad, SPD-SX and even my sons can jack in to play along with me on guitars and keyboard. Nothing seems to bother these amps. The build quality is outstanding and the sound is amazing!
