ODUCTION
2) FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS
Advanced Hammer Action IV-F
Developed to accurately represent the touch of a traditional grand piano, the redesigned Advanced Hammer
Action IV-F keyboard adopts KAWAI’s remarkable springless construction, for a smoother, more natural, piano
feeling. Just as acoustic pianos utilise heavier bass hammers and lighter treble hammers, the EP3 digital piano
keyboard also employs different hammer weights, appropriately graded for each playing range. This innovative
Acoustic Reaction™ technology provides greater stability during fortissimo passages, while preserving delicate
pianissimo control, to satisfy the demands of even the most discerning pianist.
Harmonic Imaging™ Technology
The authentic sound of the EP3 digital piano begins with the world renowned KAWAI EX Concert grand piano.
Placed inside an anechoic chamber, free of audio reflections, the rich sound of this world class instrument is
meticulously analysed and recorded by our Master Piano Artisans. The acoustic portrait of each note is later
transformed into a precise three dimensional digital representation, employing KAWAI’s proprietary Harmonic
Imaging™ technology. This unique process allows the EP3 digital piano to faithfully reproduces the broad
dynamic range of the original grand piano, from subtle pianissimos to thunderous fortissimos.
Additional Sound Selection
With a total of 21 realistic internal sounds, the EP3 digital piano is suitably equipped for playing various
musical styles. In addition to the rich piano sounds, the EP3 digital piano also features a broad selection of
other instrumental sounds, ranging from electric pianos and organs, to harpsichord, strings, and percussion
instruments.
Powerful Speaker System
The EP3 digital piano features an innovative 6-speaker sound system, utilising speaker box enclosures to
provide deep bass and crisp treble frequencies. This unique design allows for a compact, portable instrument
that is powerful enough to deliver strong live performances without the need for additional amplification
equipment. And with a selection of adjustable reverb, effects, and EQ settings, the EP3 digital piano is
guaranteed to sound absolutely terrifi c - regardless of the playing situation.
