KAWAI CX102B - Black

The KAWAI CX102 digital piano features gently curved side arms and sturdy toe blocks for greater stability. The piano is equipped with a sliding key cover to protect the keyboard from dust, and a wide music rest that can be folded flat when not in use. At just over 40 centimetres deep, the CX102 is a compact instrument, making it well-suited for flats and other tight spaces. The Kawai CX102 digital piano features a Responsive Hammer Lite keyboard action, beautiful Shigeru Kawai SK-EX grand piano sounds, convenient Bluetooth and USB connectivity, and support for a wide range of educational apps. The CX102's Spatial Headphone Sound (SHS) technology enhances the depth and realism of the instrument's sound when listening through headphones. The three-pedal unit, equipped with a Half-Damper function, gives you smooth control over the sustain, just like on a classic acoustic piano.

Acoustic piano key weighting

Just as acoustic pianos use heavier bass hammers and lighter treble hammers, the RH Lite keyboard action also utilises different hammer weights, which are appropriately graded for each playing range. Such details provide greater stability during fortissimo passages while preserving delicate pianissimo control, satisfying even the most discerning pianists.

Harmonic imaging technology

The CX102 digital piano delivers the rich, resonant sound of the renowned Shigeru Kawai SK-EX concert grand piano in an accessible and affordable package. Using Kawai's advanced Harmonic Imaging technology, the CX102 reproduces the tonal depth and warmth of the original acoustic piano, providing smooth, expressive variations in volume and character from gentle pianissimo to thundering fortissimo.

Realistic reverberation

The CX102's powerful digital effects engine further enhances the instrument's core sounds, applying additional reverberation effects that simulate the acoustic environment of a recital room, small hall, or concert hall, breathing life into your performances. The result is a rich, vibrant piano tone that delivers impressive realism and authenticity.

Impressive speaker system (with Low Volume Balance feature)

The CX102's stereo speaker system delivers an impressive 22W of output, providing more than enough power to fill a medium-sized room with beautiful Shigeru Kawai grand piano sounds. Furthermore, when playing through speakers at a reduced volume level (so as not to disturb family members), the CX102's Low Volume Balance feature intelligently adjusts keyboard touch and piano tone characteristics, enabling pianissimo passages to be played smoothly and more naturally.

Integrated Bluetooth connectivity and PianoRemote app

In addition to a USB-MIDI port for connecting to computers, the CX102 also boasts integrated Bluetooth MIDI technology, which lets the digital piano communicate with supported smart devices wirelessly. Once paired with a phone or tablet, CX102 owners can easily control the instrument or display notation for built-in lesson songs using the dedicated PianoRemote and PiaBookPlayer apps. The instrument's functionality can also be expanded with a wide range of third-party educational, performance, and scoring apps, all without the need for additional adaptors or cables.

PianoRemote and PiaBookPlayer apps

The CX102 is compatible with Kawai's latest PianoRemote app for iOS and supported Android devices. The app connects to the piano via the integrated Bluetooth MIDI feature, making it easy to change sounds, adjust settings, and enjoy the built-in music content through an attractive user interface. The CX102 is also compatible with Kawai's PiaBookPlayer score viewer app, which lets you view the sheet music for classical études and various other pieces on a smartphone or tablet via a wireless Bluetooth connection. The PiaBookPlayer app includes the notated scores for over 370 songs, and also supports hands-free page turning using the piano's configurable pedals.

Built-in lesson function

With the CN301's convenient lesson function, aspiring pianists can learn to play the piano with classical etudes by Czerny, Chopin, Burgmüller, Beyer, Bach, and Beethoven, or with a collection of songs from the popular Alfred's Basic, Adult, and Premier course books. With an emphasis on acoustic piano realism, the CN301 also offers traditional finger exercises, scales, and warm-up exercises, and includes companion books for all classical scores to further aid piano development.

Superior headphone experience

The CX102's Spatial Headphone Sound (SHS) technology enhances the depth and realism of the instrument's sound when listening through headphones. The player can select one of three different acoustic presets that adjust the spatial positioning of the sound, while also helping to reduce auditory fatigue when using headphones for extended periods of time. In addition, the CX102 also lets players select from a variety of headphone types (Open, Semi-open, Closed, In-Ear, Canal, etc.) for an optimised listening experience.  

Grand Feel Pedal System

The Kawai Grand Feel Pedal System reinforces the CX102's position as one of the most realistic digital pianos in its price range. This feature replicates the functionality, position and individual weighting of the damper, soft and sostenuto pedals of a Shigeru Kawai SK-EX concert grand piano. You can adjust the half-pedal point and soft pedal depth using the PianoRemote app, further enhancing the CX102's authentic acoustic piano sound.
