Kawai - CA701 Black

The Kawai CA 701, a flagship model in the Concert Artist series, embodies the very essence of digital piano art. Designed to satisfy the most discerning musicians, it combines cutting-edge technology with refined aesthetics to deliver an unrivaled musical experience.

At the heart of the CA 701 is Kawai’s “Grand Feel III” action, a marvel of engineering that faithfully reproduces the touch of an acoustic grand piano. Each of the 88 solid wood keys pivots around a central balance axis, providing a natural and fluid playing feel. These action keys feature wooden keys coated with “Ebony & Ivory Touch” surfaces, providing a comfortable and moisture-absorbing texture for optimum control. In addition, these keys feature counterweights beneath each key, ensuring perfect balance, even during the most delicate pianissimo passages.

However, the real gem of the CA 701 lies in its piano tones. Two exceptional voices are at your disposal: the renowned "SK-EX Concert Grand" and the brand new "SK-EX Competition Grand". The former is a faithful reproduction of a Shigeru Kawai SK-EX concert grand piano, widely acclaimed for its clarity and exceptional dynamics. The latter, "Competition Grand", represents the latest generation of Shigeru Kawai's SK-EX-L pianos, which have won numerous awards in international piano competitions. Each of these voices has been captured with multi-channel sampling and resonance modeling to best reproduce the sonic nuances of an acoustic piano.

The audio processing and amplification of the CA 701 are also breathtaking. High-performance DAC components and filtering specially designed for acoustic piano tones ensure sound reproduction of incredible clarity. Six speakers and enhanced 360-degree diffusers create an immersive listening experience that envelops the pianist and audience in rich, authentic sound. In addition, a "Spatial Headphone Sound" function ensures exceptional sound quality when playing with headphones.

The user interface, meanwhile, is a model of ergonomics. Its 5-inch touchscreen LCD, with an anti-glare coating, allows intuitive navigation by simple touch or swipe. You can even set it to automatically turn off while you play, eliminating visual distractions. The latest generation Bluetooth MIDI and audio connectivity gives you ultra-low latency, increased reliability, and superior sound quality when connected to compatible devices. The Kawai PianoRemote and PiaBookPlayer apps, compatible with iOS and Android, allow you to control your instrument wirelessly and access a vast repertoire of built-in scores and studies.

Finally, the CA 701's cabinet is a masterpiece of contemporary design. Its clean lines, tapered legs, and rounded edges make it an object of elegance. The 6-position tilting music stand and the new music support pins offer you optimal playing comfort.

In summary, the Kawai CA 701 from the "Concert Artist" series is an exceptional instrument that harmoniously combines cutting-edge technology and piano tradition. With authentic tones, realistic wooden action, high-end audio processing, wireless connectivity, and an elegant design, it invites you to explore new musical horizons and enjoy an incomparable playing experience.
