Thank you for purchasing a KAWAI CA111 digital piano!

The CA111 digital piano is a revolutionary new instrument that combines the latest digital technology with traditional piano craftsmanship inherited from KAWAI’s many years of experience in building fine acoustic pianos. Its AWA Grand PRO

IIwooden key action provides the touch response and full dynamic range required for a superb performance of piano, harpsichord, organ, and other instruments, while the authentic piano tone has been created through the stereo-sampling of concert grand pianos, and is reproduced using KAWAI’s unique Harmonic Imaging™ sound technology.

The CA111 is also equipped with a revolutionary Soundboard Speaker System, channelling sound energy onto a spruce soundboard to faithfully reproduce the unmistakable warmth and ambience of an acoustic piano, for an even more realistic playing experience. Additional reverb and digital effects processors provide a deeper, richer sound, while industry standard MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) jacks and a USB interface are also available, allowing the playback and connection of other electronic instruments and personal computers.

This owner’s manual contains valuable information that will help you to make full use of the CA111’s capabilities. Please read all sections carefully and keep this manual handy for future reference.
