The finest acoustic piano keyboard actions, real acoustic piano damper mechanisms, stunning multi-channel grand piano sounds, premium audio, amplification, and speaker technologies, modern Bluetooth and touchscreen convenience, and strikingly beautiful ebony polish cabinets.
The Kawai Novus NV5S - a hybrid instrument that deliver the true acoustic piano experience.
The Novusʼ improved SK-EX Rendering multi-channel sound engine features enhanced acoustic piano samples, with new Virtual Technician parameters to precisely control the attack, release, and sustain characteristics of each piano.
The updated NV5S retains the high fidelity audio processing and powerful amplification of the original piano, while improving the instrument's overall speaker systems.
The NV5Sʼs TwinDrive soundboard speaker transducers have also be upgraded, broadening the range of reproducible high frequencies for an even more acoustic-like listening experience for both the player and their audience.
As with it's predecessor, the NV5S incorporates a 5" touchscreen display discretely embedded in the instrumentsʼ left cheekblock, with the touchscreenʼs updated hardware and software adopting the same system design and user interface introduced with the CA99 and CA79 digital pianos.
This improved UI is optimising for pianists, and provides easier access to additional sound and functions that inspire musical creativity.
The latest series models retain the convenient Bluetooth MIDI and Bluetooth Audio functionality of the original instruments, with added support for the advanced aptX algorithm allowing high quality audio to be streamed through the pianosʼ superb amplifier and speaker systems wirelessly, with minimal latency.
Finally, as with all new Kawai instruments, the NV5S fully supports the latest PianoRemote and PiaBookPlayer apps for iOS and compatible Android devices, providing an effortless way to control the instruments wirelessly from a smartphone or tablet, or to study the notated scores for many of the built-in classical etudes and piano pieces from the comfort of an armchair.
