Kawai CA 901W Weiß Digitalpiano

Grand Feel III keyboard with real wood keys, pressure point simulation and Ebony&Ivory Touch surfaces.

The CA901's keyboard features the Grand Feel III automatic wood keys, which provides an exceptionally realistic playing experience. The Grand Feel III keyboard is a keyboard whose key length (from the leading edge of the keys to the balance pin) is longer than any other digital piano keyboard. All eighty-eight black and white keys are made entirely of long pieces of wood. Like a grand piano, each key moves smoothly on a balancing bar. When a key is struck, a weighted hammer moves upward, just like the original. In addition, the 3-fold sensor system provides optimal repetition and playing control. The graduated weighted hammers provide a true grand piano feel. In addition, weights are incorporated on the front of each key on the Grand Feel III keyboard for an even better balance between pronounced fortissimo and low-fatigue playing with perfect control in pianissimo. In addition, the Grand Feel III keyboard features pressure point simulation for perfect control when playing pianissimo. All 88 keys of the Grand Feel III keyboard are equipped with ivory-like coverings (Ebony&Ivory Touch), which provide the player with more security and excellent playing control thanks to a non-slip surface.

The great sound of the Kawai SK-EX concert grand piano is at the heart of the new CA901.

You will now find it in two versions. As with the previous model as SK-EX Concert Grand and new now also as SK-EX COMPETITION GRAND. The new SK-EX COMPETITION GRAND sound has been re-sampled from a SK-EX concert grand piano of the latest generation selected for international competitions. Using multiple microphone positions, the sound of this special grand piano was captured with all its nuances and is characterized by even more powerful sound and greater dynamics. The subsequent mixing of the different microphone positions was focused on the player position unlike the SK-EX Concert Grand which sounds more like from the listener position. In order to reproduce the impressive sound of the Shigeru grand pianos as faithfully as possible, Kawai has further developed the SK-EX Rendering sound generation system, which features high-resolution multi-channel sampling of all 88 keys in combination with the latest resonance modeling technology. The multi-channel sampling includes the sound recorded from multiple positions of Shigeru Kawai concert grand pianos, which can reproduce a wider range of sound characteristics, allowing more vivid authentic sound changes during dynamic playing. This natural and expressive sound is further enriched by the use of physical modeling with newly developed resonance algorithms. The complex overall sound, composed by the strings, pedals and many other parts of an acoustic concert grand piano, gives the player the feeling of sitting in front of a real instrument.

Twindrive Soundboard System

With the TwinDrive Soundboard System, Kawai has succeeded in reproducing a wide frequency spectrum directly through the soundboard. The rear soundboard is vibrated by two AURES transducers, so no additional bass speakers are needed. The result is a dispersion behavior like that of a real piano and the best possible acoustic reproduction of the piano sound. This system is based on the natural resonance of acoustic pianos and is therefore far superior to the operating principle of normal loudspeaker systems. In addition to hi-end audio signal routing, digital power amplifiers and high quality headphone amplifier, the CA901 is equipped with 6 speakers and 360 degree diffusers for the upward facing speakers in addition to its unique soundboard system. These specially designed components create a sound experience that distributes natural sound throughout the room, allowing listeners to hear just as the player does without sacrificing quality.
