This functionality enhances practice sessions and provides an enjoyable listening experience. The C1 Air’s speakers are carefully engineered to deliver clear and powerful sound, suitable for both practice and performance environments.

The design of the KORG C1 Air is sleek and modern, with a slim profile that suits various home interiors.
