For quiet practice, headphones can be used to avoid disturbing others. More than 90 digital voices are at your command and can be used individually or blended with the acoustic piano. Utilizing Kawai’s exclusive high-performance transducers, stunningly clear digital audio is projected through the solid spruce soundboard, resulting in powerful, rich, and expansive sound.

With a blue tooth enabled smart device players can play along with accompaniment tracks and enjoy an ensemble experience. The metronome helps players keep time and the app-based record function allows pianists to save their performances.
