Concert piano touch: Grand Feel Compact wood mechanics
The Kawai CA-49 digital piano is the first model equipped with the Kawai Grand Feel Compact keyboard. As the name suggests, the GF Compact keyboard is a worthy successor of the market-leading Grand Feel mechanism, faithfully representing the original authentic tilting sensation, in a smaller version.
The new mechanism preserves the design of the long wooden keys and the well-known cutting sensation that has characterized the tilting of acoustic concert pianos for centuries. Despite its smaller dimensions, the GF Compact mechanism still has keys that are extended in relation to the axis, thus ensuring a more even tilt on the back of the keys when playing. Thanks to this essential detail, the CA-48 offers the best playing experience in its category, surpassing even the well-loved RM3 Grand mechanics of its predecessors.
In the bass range with extra weights
In addition to the original weighting, the Grand Feel Compact mechanism has extra weights attached to the front of the keys.
Just like on an acoustic piano, these delicately balanced parts help you confidently swing pianissimo and give you a grander feel when playing more powerfully.
3-sensor tilt detection
Responsive Hammer III keyboard mechanism uses a carefully developed 3-sensor tilt detection system, capturing the real piano tilt. The built-in third sensor facilitates repetitive playing and, unlike many other digital pianos with 2-sensor mechanics, each note is played with its full color without loss. In addition, Kawai's mechanical technology monitors the speed of play on all keys, thus influencing the piano tone emitted and providing a wider range of expression between staccato and legato.
'Ivory Touch' key surface
The stunning CA-49 features Kawai's widely acclaimed 'Ivory Touch' ivory-effect keytop. The finely textured material gently absorbs the sweat and grease content of your fingerprint to help you control your keyboard playing. Furthermore, the absorbed moisture does not cause any dirt, the keyboard surface can be simply wiped with a damp cloth.
'Let-off' simulation
As the most authentic digital mechanics in its category, the Responsive Hammer III reproduces the trigger point characteristics of the original mechanics. It imitates the cutting sensation that can be experienced with more delicate playing, helping experienced pianists to precisely express pianissimo parts.
Grand piano sounds: Two world-class instruments
Awarded the title of 'Japan's premium instruments', Shigeru Kawai instruments grace the stages of concert halls and music institutions around the world, winning awards for their outstanding tonal clarity and exceptional dynamic range. This unique, widely acclaimed instrument is hand-built by master craftsmen at the manufactory in Ryuyo, Japan, creating one of the best in its class.
In addition, the CA49 also features the excellent sound of the highly acclaimed Kawai EX concert piano, which was chosen by several professional pianists at the renowned Chopin, Tchaikovsky and Rubinstein international competitions. sound pattern, with Harmonic Imaging technology, setting a new standard for digital piano sound quality and making it available for musicians to experience their contrasting characteristics.
Complete 88-key stereo piano sound sample
The rich, expressive sound of the SK-EX and EX concert pianos is at the heart of the CA-49, all eighty-eight notes of these two world-class instruments have been painstakingly recorded, meticulously analyzed and accurately represented in digital form.
Harmonic Imaging technology
During the game, the effect exerted through the keyboard determines not only the strength of the sound, but also its characteristic tone. As a result, considering the acoustic sound image of the Kawai EX concert piano, not only each note has been recorded, but also their different volume versions from the gentlest pianissimo to the stormiest fortissimo. The CA-49 offers a finely detailed sound image - the 'Harmonic Imaging' technology provides an authentic tonal transfer across the entire keyboard, across the entire dynamic range.
Personalized piano settings
It is essential for an experienced musician to use an acoustic piano to its full potential. In addition to meticulously tuning each note, he also makes various specifications and sound settings in order to make the piano really sound. With the help of the CA-49's 'Virtual Technician' 'Smart Mode' function, these parameters can be similarly set digitally, ten times in advance with a set configuration that intelligently adapts many characteristics of the piano to different musical styles. For greater flexibility, with the 'Advanced Mode' function, players can also adjust the characteristics of tilt, sound, hammer and keyboard noises, strings and pedal resonance also for shaping using the Virtual Technician iPad app.
Outstanding 4-speaker ONKYO output system
Unrivaled in its price category, the CA-49 is equipped with an advanced 4-speaker system, which is capable of sounding the entire harmonic spectrum of acoustic piano sounds. , the result is a full sound that faithfully reflects the tone of the grand piano.
Digital piano diversity
Complementing the class-leading Responsive Hammer III mechanism and the beautiful Progressive Harmonic Imaging sound, the CA49 has a great range of additional sounds, such as electronic pianos and organs, church organs, strings and other sounds including the full palette of GM2 compatible instruments. ' mode makes it possible to combine two sounds at the same time, such as a concert piano with strings, while the 'Four hands' mode allows the keyboard to be divided into two separate 44-key sections. This can be especially useful in an educational setting where teacher and student can play a single instrument at the same time.
Built-in 'Lesson' function
The 'Lesson' function helps enthusiastic pianists learn classic Czerny, Burgmüller and Beyer etudes or pieces from the popular Alfred piano school. The left hand or the right hand part can always be practiced separately, the built-in metronome helps to develop a sense of tempo and rhythm.
Integrated Bluetooth connection
In addition to the standard MIDI ports, the CA-49 is also equipped with a Bluetooth MIDI connection, with which you can connect to supported smart devices. After pairing once, you can easily access the instrument's functions with the help of Kawai's free Virtual Technician control app, which offers setting options in an enjoyable way and with an attractive interface, without the use of any cables or adapters.
Grand Feel pedal system
The reputation of the CN series as the most realistic digital pianos in its category is only strengthened by the Grand Feel pedal system developed by Kawai. This unique component exactly imitates the separate resonator, pusher and the positions and weighting of its extension pedals, thus improving the authenticity of the CA49.
Excellent experience with headphones
The CA-49's Spatial Headphone Sound (SHS) technology increases the depth and realism of sound through headphones. You can choose from three different acoustic settings, thereby dictating the spatial position of the sound, which helps reduce ear fatigue during practice with more durable headphones. earphone type for an even more optimized sound.
Voice assistant and voice sample preview
Despite its modestly sized control panel, the CA-49 offers a wide range of digital options, including optional 'Vocal Assist' and 'Sound Preview' options. Soud Preview' demonstrates the already selected pattern or setting with a short playback, thereby reducing the frequency of browsing the user manual.
