Kawai CN301 White

PIANO SOUND: CELEBRATED CONCERT GRAND PIANOS

• The rich, expressive sound of Kawai‚Äôs celebrated concert grand pianos are at the heart of the new CN301, with both the flagship Shigeru Kawai SK-EX and highly-acclaimed Kawai EX instruments lovingly recorded and faithfully produced using full 88-key stereo sampling. With two distinctive Kawai concert grand pianos and a traditional upright, and the CN301‚Äôs additional Shigeru Kawai SK-5 mid-sized grand readily available, CN301 owners can explore a variety of different piano sounds, and enjoy the contrasting properties of each. The CN301 utilises Kawai‚Äôs advanced Progressive Harmonic Imaging technology, with algorithms that reproduce how an acoustic piano‚Äôs tonal character changes as dynamics increase. This ensures seamless expression when playing from gentle pianissimo to thunderous fortissimo, without sudden changes in sound, while impressive polyphony specifications allow players to perform complicated pieces without held notes ‚Äòdropping out‚Äô unexpectedly. These realistic piano sounds are delivered using high-performance audio hardware and speaker systems, with the class-leading CN301 boasting four speakers and new diffuser panels that help to expand the instrument‚Äôs tonal projection in all directions. This technology is complemented by a newly engineered power adapter that contributes to an overall smoother, clearer sound, and ensures a faithful reproduction of the acoustic piano source ‚Äì even when playing at high volume levels.

KEYBOARD ACTION: IMPROVED RESPONSIVE HAMMER III ACTION

• Connecting the CN301‚Äô stunning grand piano sounds to the player is the acclaimed Responsive Hammer III keyboard. This highly-regarded action features graded hammers that replicate the heavier bass and lighter treble hammers of an acoustic piano, with additional counterweights embedded within the front of each black and white key that assist playing control during pianissimo passages. The CN301 utilises a modern triple sensor key detection system for enhanced repetition speed and responsiveness, allowing a greater range of expressive control from staccato to legato playing. The Responsive Hammer III action is equipped with premium Ivory Touch key surfaces that possess an attractive, natural matte finish that is smooth but not slippery, while let-off simulation reproduces the subtle resistance felt when playing the keys of a grand piano very softly, satisfying the expectations of the most experienced pianists. Finally, the updated RHIII action utilised by the CN301 model features structure and cushioning upgrades. These enhancements further improve the sense of stability when keys are pressed, while also helping to reduce action noise as the keys are released.

CONVENIENT FEATURES: INTEGRATED BLUETOOTH® CONNECTIVITY WITH APP SUPPORT

• The impressive CN301 offers a variety of useful features to complement their stunning grand piano sounds and authentic keyboard touch. Integrated Bluetooth¬Æ MIDI and Bluetooth¬Æ Audio connectivity allows apps such as Kawai‚Äôs dedicated PianoRemote control app, or a wide range of third-party learning and recreation apps to be enjoyed wirelessly, and for music streamed from a smartphone or tablet to be played through the pianos‚Äô impressive audio systems without any additional cables. For aspiring pianists, the built-in lesson function featuring a variety of classical etudes is complemented by Kawai‚Äôs PiaBookPlayer score viewing app, while the adjustable metronome and song recorder are both invaluable tools for developing a sense of rhythm and charting one‚Äôs progress. An assortment of additional instrumental voices, along with Dual and Split playing modes add greater variety to players‚Äô performances, while the special Four Hands mode divides the keyboard into two independent sections, allowing teacher and student to practise and play together using a single instrument. The CN301 also inherit Kawai‚Äôs advanced SHS technology from the larger CA Series instruments, enhancing the depth and realism of sounds heard through headphones or earphones, while also helping to reduce auditory fatigue when listening for extended periods of time. The CN301 raises the bar further, with additional recorder function that allow MP3 or WAV audio files to be recorded and to a USB memory device directly on the instrument, and then shared with friends and family online.
