The AURES AR2 hybrid instruments blend Kawai\u2019s masterful acoustic piano craftsmanship with advanced digital piano technologies. Each piano begins with the solid foundation of Kawai\u2019s award-winning upright and grand pianos, offering class-leading features such as the Millennium III action, considered to be the world\u2019s finest upright and piano actions.Equipped with Kawai\u2019s most advanced digital and sound technologies, AURES AR2 instruments are also premium digital pianos that can be played silently with headphones or through their acoustic soundboard. Players can complement their performances with a wide selection of digital sounds or layer these sounds with the acoustic piano to create unique combinations. Practice new pieces using the built-in metronome then record their performance, or play along with tracks from a Bluetooth-connected smart device and enjoy a personal ensemble performance.<\/p>\n

Touch<\/strong><\/p>\n

All AURES AR2 upright and grand piano instruments incorporate Kawai\u2019s specially developed acoustic muting systems which effectively prevent the action\u2019s hammers from striking the strings, thus silencing the sound of each note when played.<\/p>\n

Integrated Hammer Sensing System<\/strong><\/p>\n

The AURES AR2 pianos\u2019 precise hammer movements are measured with Kawai\u2019s Integrated Hammer Sensing System (IHSS), which utilises high-resolution contact-less optical sensors to provide greater accuracy then conventional key-based sensor systems.This more advanced approach reproduces the mechanical flow of the upright and grand pianos\u2019 actions more closely, allowing the full range of dynamics to be expressed by the instrument\u2019s powerful digital piano sound engine with natural fluency.<\/p>\n
