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 fi ne acoustic pianos. Its AWA Grand PRO
II wooden 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.
