Casio CT-S1 Overview

The black Casio CT-S1 61-Key Portable Digital Piano Essentials Kit from B&H provides a touch-sensitive keyboard solution that's suitable for both seasoned and beginning players along with an X-style keyboard stand, a sustain pedal, and a pair of closed-back headphones for private monitoring or practice.

Casio CT-S1 61-Key Touch-Sensitive Portable Keyboard (Black)

An ideal musical partner for beginners and seasoned players alike, the black Casio Casiotone CT-S1 is a stylish portable keyboard that focuses on quality sound (from a stereo grand piano to vintage keyboards and more) and user-friendly playability. It features 61 full-size touch-sensitive keys, built-in stereo speakers, and versatile connectivity including an aux input jack, a headphone output, a micro-USB port for hookup to your Mac/Windows computer or iOS/Android mobile device, and a USB Type-A port for use with the separately available WU-BT01 Bluetooth adapter.

The CT-S1 offers onboard effects including reverb, chorus, and delay to enable special sound enhancement, and a one-button song recorder for simple capture of your musical ideas or full performances. Plus, you can download the free Chordana App on your iOS or Android smartphone/tablet to assist you in learning any MIDI file. A music rest and an AC adapter are included, but the keyboard can also run on six AA batteries (available separately) and hang on a strap for truly mobile operation.

61 High-Quality AiX Sounds
The CT-S1's AiX Sound Source technology accurately reproduces every nuance of 61 acoustic and synthesized instrument sounds. Power-on the CT-S1, and you'll be presented with a dynamic, expressive German concert grand piano placed in a virtual concert hall. You'll also find essentials like electric pianos, organs, strings, synths, and more, with Advanced Tones adding complex layers that react to your playing. A collection of vintage keyboard sounds is also included, featuring recreations of timeless, sought-after keyboard instruments. Casio even included classic sounds from their VL, VZ, and CZ series.
Touch-Sensitive Keys for Musical Expressivity
Play the keys heavily and you'll get louder tones, or play softly to achieve quieter sounds. The touch-sensitive keyboard will accurately reflect every nuance of your playing, making your performances musically expressive.
Fun to Play with Streamlined Operation
Like many of Casio's Privia and Celviano digital pianos, the CT-S1's streamlined design features simplified controls that allow you to focus on selecting a tone and practicing or performing without distraction. A convenient metronome button helps you keep time, and an easy one-button recorder lets you capture ideas.
Small Size, Big Sound with Surround
There are three ways to experience the CT-S1's sound quality at its best. First, the bass-reflex speaker system delivers punch and clarity throughout the entire volume range. Second, plug in a good set of headphones for personal play. Third, turn on Surround, and the sound from the speakers will place you right in the middle of your music.
Shape the Sound of Your Instrument with Onboard Effects
Choose virtual concert venues, layer tones together, add delay and EQ, adjust temperaments, and much more, right from the front panel. There are 24 types of reverb, plus choruses and delays built into the sounds. The function button takes you far beyond the ordinary, and every CT-S1 comes with an easy guide that shows you exactly how to unlock the CT-S1's full potential.
Connected to Your World
The 3.5mm aux input enables you to connect your phone/tablet or music player and play along with your favorite songs. The micro-USB port connects your CT-S1 to any Mac/Windows computer or iOS/Android device with no drivers or installation needed. With the WU-BT10 Bluetooth MIDI/audio adapter (available separately), you can even connect wirelessly to your favorite devices to control them via MIDI, or use the CT-S1 as a Bluetooth speaker.
Take It to Go
With a CT-S1, there's no reason to feel tied down. Just pop in six AA batteries (available separately), attach a strap, and wherever you are becomes center stage.

Polsen HPC-A30-MK2 Closed-Back Studio Monitor Headphones

The HPC-A30-MK2 Closed-Back Studio Monitor Headphones from Polsen offer a solution for experiencing rich and natural sound when listening to music through a mobile device or monitoring a podcast on your computer. These headphones can also be used for DJ work, thanks to the swiveling earcups that let you monitor audio while keeping one ear free.

The HPC-A30-MK2's over-ear design isolates the sound and prevents leakage for optimum listening conditions in loud environments, such as a club or on the go. The 10' cable also gives you the freedom to move around while working and terminates in a 3.5mm TRS stereo plug, which is compatible with most mobile devices and computers. In addition, a stereo 1/4" adapter is included to plug into a stereo or mixing board.

Mobile
The HPC-A30-MK2 headphones deliver a rich sound for listening to audio on a mobile device. Whether you're listening on a smartphone, an iPod, or a tablet, these headphones deliver detailed sound even in noisy environments.
Over-Ear Design
The over-ear design isolates sound in loud environments and prevents leakage for optimum listening conditions. This design is good for listening to music on a busy street, and for DJs who need to monitor their audio in a noisy club.
DJ Applications
The headphones are suitable for DJ applications and include a tuned bass response for low-end clarity. The pivoting earcups are ideal for one-ear or on-the-shoulder monitoring. A padded headband offers to keep you comfortable during a lengthy session.
Broadcast and Podcast
The headphones allow for monitoring audio on a laptop or in a home studio as well as recording a vlog on a smartphone.
Swiveling and Rotating Earcups
If you're a DJ who likes to keep one ear free, you can swivel one of the earcups for on-the-shoulder monitoring. The earcups also rotate 90° so you can turn one of the earcup outward for one-ear handheld monitoring.
10' Cable
A headphone cable that's too short is almost like sitting on the sidelines—you can't be part of the action. If you need to move around while you work, the 10' cable will allow you to move about freely.

Casio CT-S1 Reviews

Terrific Sound & Key Feel

By Anita
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2022-07-15

In the 80s I had a couple mini keyboards from Casio. I never thought I'd say in 2022 that Casio makes the most natural feeling keyboard I've tried. Honestly! Yamaha & others felt fake, and this Casio felt like the weighted keys of my favorite acoustic piano! I bought it to play as my daughter walked down the aisle for her outdoor wedding because the venue had no piano or keyboards. I had it sent directly to the venue and didn't even get to play it till sound check. It felt great. Totally comfortable. And the sound was perfect. So yea, I recommend this. By the way, it does have a music stand, which I wasn't sure it did.
