The input goes straight to the output to provide ZERO latency monitoring and you can easily record any audio source (Line, Dynamic Mic or Guitar). 2 W + 2 W Built-in Stereo Amplifier and Speaker Listen to the sound via the built-in stereo speaker powered by a 2W + 2W stereo amplifier with a Bass Enhancer circuit. Loud enough for personal use, the PC-80 offers a strong low end in a very compact set of speakers. In addition there is a Sub-Woofer output port for when you need to isolate the very low frequencies. High Quality Mechanism for the Serious Player With a newly designed key mechanism --- taken from Roland's 30 years of synthesizer development --- players can control a wide dynamic range with incredible subtlety. The re-designed key assemblies have a rounded shape for better reaction to the player's touch and more comfortable glissando, plus changes have already been made to reduce the low mechanical noise of the PC-80 and eliminate vertical shake on the key strokes. The newly developed pitch bend and modulation design offers you easier and more expressive control. All these features add up to a keyboard that even the most discerning player can appreciate.
