Kawai CA701 Concert Artist Digital Piano
Premium Concert Artist Authenticity
The Kawai CA701 is the next evolution in the Concert Artist series ; delivering uncompromising grand piano realism in a sleek, modern form. Featuring Kawai’s most advanced wooden-key keyboard action, premium multi-channel piano sampling, upgraded audio processing, and an immersive 6-speaker sound system, the CA701 offers a flagship playing experience at a competitive price point.
Exceptional Grand Piano Touch
At the core of the CA701 lies Kawai’s acclaimed Grand Feel III keyboard action. With 88 all-wood keys, extended pivot length, grade-weighted hammers, counterweights, and a responsive triple-sensor system, this action mirrors the feel of a world-class acoustic grand. The natural motion and precision are enhanced with Ebony & Ivory Touch surfaces and an authentic Let-Off mechanism for nuanced pianissimo control.
Next-Generation Piano Sound
The CA701 introduces the brand-new SK-EX Competition Grand sound, recorded from the player’s perspective to capture the brilliance and clarity of Kawai’s latest Shigeru Kawai SK-EX-L concert pianos—used in international competitions like Chopin and Hamamatsu. This voice joins the beloved SK-EX Concert Grand, offering two distinct tonal palettes crafted through Kawai’s SK-EX Rendering engine, which blends multi-channel 88-key sampling with real-time resonance modelling.
Premium Audio Experience
Engineered for audiophile-grade sound, the CA701 features a high-performance DAC system, custom-developed filters, and powerful 6-speaker amplification with 360° diffuser panels for room-filling sound. Whether performing for an audience or practicing with headphones, players enjoy immersive tone thanks to Spatial Headphone Sound and a discrete headphone amplifier.
Modern Touchscreen Interface
A discreet 5” anti-glare LCD touchscreen is seamlessly embedded in the cheekblock, giving players intuitive control over the instrument’s functions without visual clutter. Easily navigate settings, sounds, and features with swipe and tap gestures ; or allow the screen to turn off during performance for an uninterrupted acoustic piano aesthetic.
