M-audio SP-2 Sustain Pedal

Authentic Feel, Universal Compatibility: M-audio SP-2 Sustain Pedal

The M-Audio SP-2 is the industry-standard choice for keyboardists who demand the realistic, expressive feel of an acoustic piano damper pedal. Designed for both the studio and the stage, this professional-grade sustain pedal features a heavy-duty, chrome-plated mechanism that delivers the soft resistance and tactile response pianists expect.

Whether you are performing complex classical pieces or laying down modern synth tracks, the SP-2 ensures your performance remains grounded. Its specially engineered, non-slip rubber base grips the floor firmly, preventing the “pedal dance” common with lighter, cheaper alternatives. With its built-in polarity switch, the SP-2 is truly universal, providing seamless plug-and-play compatibility with virtually any electronic keyboard, digital piano, or MIDI controller on the market.

Professional Studio Features

• Acoustic Piano Action: Chrome-plated pedal with authentic spring resistance for a natural, expressive playing experience.

• Universal Polarity Switch: A conveniently located switch on the base allows instant compatibility with all keyboard brands (Yamaha, Casio, Roland, etc.).

• Non-Slip Stability: Specially designed rubberized bottom ensures the pedal stays exactly where you put it, even on slippery stage floors.

• Rugged Construction: Built around a heavy-duty mechanism with a durable rubber-coated shell, perfect for frequent gigging.

• Plug-and-Play: Includes a high-quality 6-foot cable with a standard 1/4″ (6.35mm) TS connector.

💡 Pro-Tip: If your sustain pedal seems to be working in “reverse” (notes sustain when your foot is off the pedal), do not worry—this is not a defect. Simply flip the pedal over and toggle the polarity switch on the base to match your keyboard’s configuration.

M-audio SP-2 Sustain Pedal Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will the M-Audio SP-2 work with my keyboard brand (e.g., Yamaha, Roland, Casio)?

A: Yes. Thanks to the built-in polarity switch on the bottom of the pedal, it is compatible with virtually all electronic keyboards and digital pianos that have a 1/4″ sustain input.

Q: What should I do if the sustain is reversed?

A: This is a common occurrence when switching between different keyboard brands. Simply flip the pedal over and toggle the polarity switch to reverse the signal to the correct orientation.

Q: Does this pedal support half-pedaling?

A: The SP-2 is primarily a switch-style pedal. While it offers excellent tactile feel, it is designed for standard “on/off” sustain switching rather than variable half-pedaling, which typically requires a specific stereo-jack configuration.
