Kawai AURES AR2 Hybrid piano system
Kawai AURES AR2 hybrid piano system
Kawai AURES AR2 combines compatible acoustic upright and grand pianos into three distinct modes of operation: full acoustic performance, silent digital performance via headphones, and digital sound projected through the instrument's wooden soundboard. Thus, classic piano performance, silent practice, and creativity with digital sounds are all possible on the same mechanical keyboard.
Acoustic mechanism and IHSS sensors
The IHSS contactless optical sensor system reads the movement of keys and hammers without affecting the mechanical action. In silent mode, a muting mechanism prevents the hammers from striking the strings, while in acoustic mode, the piano sounds with its natural strings and soundboard.
Digital sound projection via soundboard
The Soundboard Speaker System, consisting of four transducers, transmits the digital signal directly onto the piano's wooden soundboard. As a result, the digital piano sound is not emitted from a standard speaker point, but rather resonates from the expansive surface of the acoustic instrument.
SK-EX Rendering sound technology
The SK-EX Rendering and HI-XL engines, 256-note polyphony, and 90 sounds create a broad palette ranging from classic piano timbres to ensemble layers. Bluetooth Audio/MIDI and the PianoRemote app facilitate practice, control, and performance with external audio.
