Keyboard and Touch
The Responsive Hammer Compact II (RHCII) keyboard action of the Kawai CX202 conveys the feel of an acoustic piano as naturally as possible with 88 graded weighted keys. Thanks to the triple-sensor system, repeated notes respond faster and more accurately, creating finer control during performance.
Matte-finish keys ensure comfort during long practice sessions, and the different weighting in the bass and treble regions recalls the natural balance of an acoustic piano. For this reason, the CX202 provides a convincing touch for both beginners and serious pianists.
Sound Quality
The primary sound source of the CX202 is the sampled sound of the Shigeru Kawai SK-EX concert grand. Harmonic Imaging (HI) technology creates natural dynamic transitions from pianissimo to fortissimo while maintaining tonal depth and warmth.
The 192-note maximum polyphony helps notes ring out without cutting off in complex pieces. Damper Resonance and 6 different reverb effects make the instrument's sound feel more vibrant and closer to a concert hall.
The 40W stereo speaker system is powerful enough to comfortably fill mid-sized rooms. The Low Volume Balance function maintains tonal balance and touch sensitivity even at lower volume levels.
Functions and Connectivity
The CX202 connects wirelessly to smartphones, tablets, and laptops with Bluetooth® Audio and Bluetooth® MIDI support. This facilitates both working with practice apps and playing audio from phones and computers.
With the PianoRemote app, it is possible to control sounds, settings, and Virtual Technician functions from a phone. The PiaBookPlayer app displays sheet music on the screen and makes page-turning easier with compatible pedal support.
The built-in lesson system covers Burgmüller, Czerny, Beyer, and Alfred materials. Dual, Split, Four Hands, Transpose, metronome, and registration functions make the practice process more flexible and productive.
Design
The CX202 stands out with a simple, elegant cabinet design suitable for home interiors. Soft curved side panels, a sturdy stand structure, a sliding key cover, and a folding music rest provide both an aesthetic appearance and practical use. A depth of only 40.5 cm makes the instrument suitable even for apartment living.
The model is offered in three different colors: Premium Rosewood, Premium Satin Black, and Premium Satin White. Thus, it is possible to choose the piano according to both musical and spatial aesthetics.
