Integrated Bluetooth® MIDI and Audio connectivity
In addition to standard MIDI jacks for connecting to other instruments, the NOVUS NV10 hybrid digital piano also boasts
integrated Bluetooth MIDI and Audio technology that allows the instrument to communicate with supported smart devices
wirelessly. Once connected to a phone, tablet, or laptop, NV10 owners can enjoy a wide variety of exciting music-related
apps that enhance their learning and playing experience, or stream audio from songs and videos through the instrument's
speakers without any additional cables.
* Availability of Bluetooth function dependent on market location.
USB to Device functionality, with MP3/WAV file recording and playback
The NOVUS NV10 hybrid digital piano is equipped with USB connectors that not only allow the instrument to be connected
to a computer for MIDI use, but also to load and save data to USB memory devices directly. This 'USB to Device' feature allows
recorded songs stored in internal memory to be saved to USB for posterity, or standard MIDI files (SMF) downloaded from
the internet to be conveniently played back without additional hardware.
USB memory devices can also be used to play back MP3 or WAV audio files, allowing musicians to learn the chords or
melody for a new piece, or to simply play along with their favorite songs. It is even possible to save performances as MP3
or WAV files for emailing to friends and family, listening to on the move, or for further editing using an audio workstation.
Premium audio hardware, powered by Onkyo
Developed in collaboration with Onkyo, one of Japan's leading premium audio equipment manufacturers, the NOVUS NV10
hybrid digital piano is one of the first Kawai musical instruments to utilise specialist components designed for high-end
audio reproduction.
With cutting-edge technologies such as 1-bit processing, dual DAC signal conversion, and Onkyo's DIRDC filtering, the
NV10's optimised power amplifiers reproduce the Shigeru Kawai grand piano sound with stunning clarity, richness, and
power, while the high-performance Discrete Spectra Module headphone amplifier ensures the finest quality listening
experience, even when playing in privacy.
Full-colour touchscreen display for intuitive, button-less operation
The NOVUS NV10 is the first instrument of its kind to feature a full-colour 5" touchscreen display. Discreetly embedded
within the left cheekblock, this high resolution touchscreen allows sounds and settings to be selected from an attractive
user interface with the swipe of a finger. The display can also be set to turn off automatically while playing, thus preserving
the NV10's acoustic piano-like appearance, and minimising any visual distraction to the pianist.
