In addition to the 10 acoustic piano sounds, the ES920 offers additional sounds ranging from electric pianos, to drawbar and church organs, to strings, choirs, and bass, for a total of 38 sounds. These sounds are easily selectable from the pianos' elegant control panel, which features an intuitive button layout and sharp OLED graphic display with 4-band EQ faders providing convenient real-time control during live performances.
The ES920 boasts a powerful 40W stereo speaker system that incorporates audio processing and amplification technologies developed in collaboration with renowned Japanese audio specialists, Onkyo. This unique hardware combination delivers well-rounded bass and crisp treble frequencies, reproducing the superb Shigeru Kawai grand piano sounds with exceptional tonal clarity and richness.
An integrated Rhythm Section function with 100 styles and 2 variations per style, a selection of 4-part backing accompaniment styles, and 100 preset chord sequences invite players to add greater variety to their performances. The Dual playing mode allows two different sounds such as grand piano and strings to be layered together, while the Split and Four Hands modes divide the keyboard into two independent sections.
The ES920 features Metronome, Transpose, and Tune functions. An internal 2-track recorder offers a 10-song, 90,000-note capacity, which can be used as a learning tool to monitor your own performance. Onboard effects include 6 reverbs, chorus, delay, amp simulation, and more.
Built-in Bluetooth MIDI and Bluetooth audio connectivity allow apps such as Kawai's dedicated PianoRemote control app or a wide range of third-party learning and recreation apps to be enjoyed wirelessly, or for music streamed from a smartphone or tablet to be played through the piano's audio system without any additional cables. Wired connectivity is also supported with standard MIDI, USB, and line in/out, providing a range of options for studio and stage use.
When attached to the dedicated HM-5 designer stand and F-302 triple pedal bar (both available separately) in matching snow white finish, the ES920 is transformed into a stylish, ultracompact grand-piano replacement, great in a lounge, living room, office, or bedroom. An F-10H damper pedal is included.
Kawai's Ivory Touch key surfaces gently absorb finger moisture to assist the player's performance, while let-off simulation recreates the subtle "notch" sensation felt when softly playing the keys of a grand piano, satisfying the expectations of the most discerning pianists.
