Why Use A Keyboard Amp?
Most stage pianos, unlike home pianos, don't have built-in speakers, and will require either a dedicated amp or to be plugged directly to the PA. Keyboard amplifiers are designed to handle the wide range of frequencies that a keyboard produces, so think of it as a mini PA system that has the capability to cope with a full range of your keyboard frequencies. Most keyboard amps are multi-channel and some have a microphone input too, making a great solution for solo performers, effectively becoming a portable PA system.
Even if at bigger gigs your keyboard has to be DI'd, you may still find it useful to have a keyboard amp as well, to have better control of your own sound onstage, just like most guitarists and bassists do. The Roland KC series is one of the best and most popular choices right now.
