Kawai K-200 ATX2 45" Professional 'AnyTime' 'Hybrid' Upright Piano
Kawai K-200 ATX2 45" Professional 'AnyTime' 'Hybrid' Upright Piano
The Kawai K-200 ATX2 45" Acoustic 'AnyTime' Professional 'Hybrid' Upright Piano is a new breed of musical instrument created by the fusion of acoustic and digital elements - designed to enhance the enjoyment, flexibility and capabilities of the player.
The Kawai K-200 ATX2 45" Acoustic 'AnyTime' Professional 'Hybrid' Upright Piano begins with the traditional and renowned Kawai K-200 45" Professional Upright Piano, a traditional Kawai stringed acoustic piano, in which the strings are struck by hammers, the strings vibrations transmit through a bridge to the wooden soundboard that amplifies the acoustic energy into the air, that has been the choice of discerning pianists for generations since 1927.
The traditional acoustic piano is then equipped with Kawai's Digital Technology, to enable the piano to operate as a full featured digital piano.
This allows the piano to be played silently in the room, 'AnyTime' without disturbing anyone, while only the player can hear and listen, to the full rich digital piano sounds being created, using personal headphones. In this 'AnyTime' mode, when the piano keys are struck and the piano is played, the piano hammers will no longer hit the strings and instead, a highly sophisticated sensor-technology captures all movements of the keys and sends them to the digital tone module.
When the ‘AnyTime’ silencing function has been engaged and piano keys are struck a hammer shank stopper rail is moved into place to prevent the hammers from striking the strings. While the piano is outwardly silenced by the acoustic muting feature, the movement of the keys and other performance information are picked up by action sensors and converted to digital data. Kawai’s digitally sampled acoustic sound of their finest concert grand or other Kawai model acoustic pianos sounds are then sent to stereo headphones for the player to enjoy in complete privacy.
Kawai’s highly acclaimed sound technology is called Harmonic Imaging™. Simply put, Harmonic Imaging is a blend of technology and techniques aimed at producing the most realistic recreation of our world famous Shigeru Kawai EXL 9-foot concert grand piano possible. In all Kawai's Unique Harmonic Imaging on the K-200 ATX2 provides 27 different sounds: 9 Pianos, 3 Electric Pianos, 2 Organs, and more.

The Pleasure of Sound ... the Comfort of Touch
Anytime Upright PianosAt
certain hours of the day, an acoustic piano might distract; when an
infant is napping or the applied notes of children repeating their
scales may conflict with the schedules of others who wish to watch
television, or even the sweetest of Chopin's preludes may well concern
neighbors, if played at an inconvenient time, possibly late at night.Fortunately,
the Kawai ATX2 instruments incorporate an acoustic mute function with
powerful digital audio components, which allows pianists to continue to
enjoy the exclusive sensations of a traditional piano, without disturbing
the environment or other members of the family or neighbors, thanks to an individual headphone.
The Kawai ATX Hybrid Anytime X2 Upright Piano is actually Three Pianos in One: (1)
A Kawai Traditional Acoustic Upright Piano (2) A Kawai Digital Upright
Piano (3) A Kawai AnyTime™ Quiet Piano, which you may “play any hour
of the day or night” without disturbing neighbors or anyone in the
home.

In 'Acoustic' Mode
The piano can be played in traditional fashion with full-bodied tone filling the room.
In 'AnyTime' Mode
The
hammers never touch the strings. When the piano keys are played,
digital piano tones are heard through the headphones. Play the piano
'AnyTime' without anyone hearing your playing. Ideal for homes where
playing the piano could disturb family or neighbors early in the
morning, late at night, or when family members are watching TV, resting
or young ones are napping.
ATX-SS, ATX2-f (K-300 ATX-SS Available)
Hybrid of traditional acoustic pianos and digital technology. ATX-SS, ATX2-f allows digital features to be used without headphones, channeling sound energy back onto the piano’s wooden soundboard.
“AnyTime” ATX2-f functionality plus the 'Soundboard Speaker System'
delivers an exceptional playing experience, enabling not only the
realistic digital sound through an acoustic soundboard, but also the
beautiful layered tone of digital sounds and full-bodied acoustic sounds
played together.
Soundboard Speaker System
ATX-SS, ATX2-f
models feature Kawai’s unique Soundboard Speaker System, allowing
sounds produced by the instrument’s digital tone generator to be
channeled onto the acoustic piano’s soundboard speaker and enjoyed
without headphones.
Channeling the digital piano sounds onto
the instrument’s large wooden soundboard produces a richer, more natural
tone, while allowing the player to enjoy a three dimensional ambiance
that cannot be achieved with conventional speakers alone. The volume
level of the Soundboard Speaker System can be easily adjusted so as to
minimize disturbances to others. This allows individuals who experience
discomfort when wearing headphones for extended periods of time to
practice the piano freely, while still playing on an acoustic piano
keyboard action.
It is even possible to play the
instrument’s rich acoustic piano tone and high quality digital sounds
simultaneously, allowing players to enjoy a broad selection of
interesting tonal combinations that inspire their musical creativity.
Powerful Performer, Superb Touch, Exceptional Tone

action design and components are comparable to those of the K-400 to
K-800 Series pianos to provide outstanding touch and playability. With
their resonant tone and classic good looks, the K-200 will be an
impressive addition to any home or studio.
The Kawai K-200 45"
Professional Upright Piano provides maximum performance with a minimum
footprint. With features normally found in larger uprights, it is a
powerful performer in a medium-scale instrument. The K-200 provides the
full-bodied tone of a classic upright in a flexible size to adapt to
virtually any home or studio environment.
The

Kawai K-200 ATX2 'Anytime' Hybrid Technology
Acoustic Tranquility
The
sound of hammers striking strings, resonating through solid spruce.
Warm vibrations that illuminate a room, leaving its audience enchanted.
The natural voice of an acoustic piano is truly unmistakable.
A
fine piano entices musicians to perform with spontaneity and passion,
yet such unbridled expressiveness may not always be appropriate. Indeed,
in certain environments, an acoustic piano can prove disruptive; the
diligent tones of children practicing scales are unlikely to be welcomed
by other family members wishing to watch television, while even the
most gentle, soothing Chopin preludes have the potential to irritate
neighbors if performed after an acceptable time.
Fortunately,
AnyTimeX2 instruments incorporate an acoustic muting feature with
powerful digital audio components, allowing pianists to continue
enjoying the distinctive feeling of a traditional piano, while listening
discreetly using private headphones. Exceptional touch, optimum
responsiveness, digital flexibility: The new range of AnyTimeX2 hybrid
pianos from KAWAI.
Action
In
1971 KAWAI revolutionized piano technology by introducing ABS action
parts within the fine workings of the piano action. This rigid,
atmospherically stable compound material, addressed many of the problems
associated with wooden components, such as breakages under continual
high stress, and shrinking and swelling due to changes in climate. The
introduction of ABS action parts proved a significant development in
modern piano design, and rapidly earned high praise from pianists and
technicians worldwide. The Millennium III Upright Action, unveiled in
2006, has been developed to enhance the three performance elements that
professional pianists most desire - speed, control and power. The
introduction of stronger ABS Carbon materials has allowed KAWAI
scientists to develop lighter action parts without sacrificing
durability, further optimizing key repetition and response speed for a
truly unparalleled playing experience.
Tone
With
the acoustic components muted, KAWAI AnyTimeX2 pianos employ a unique
digital technology, developed and refined at the Shigeru Kawai Research
& Development Laboratory in Ryuyo, Japan, calling upon the finest
hand-crafted KAWAI EX Concert Grand piano to deliver an unmistakably
warm, authentic tone. Placed inside a purpose-built anechoic chamber,
free of audio reflections, the rich sound of this world class instrument
is meticulously analyzed and recorded by our Master Piano Artisan
pioneers. The acoustic portrait of each note is later transformed into a
highly precise three dimensional digital representation, employing
KAWAI's proprietary Harmonic Imaging™ technology. This unique process
faithfully reproduces the broad dynamic range of the original grand
piano, while also providing the source for a rich selection of
additional high-quality instrument sounds.
IHSS Sensor System
A
fine acoustic piano entices musicians to perform with enthusiasm,
spontaneity and passion. Yet, the satisfaction that one enjoys when
hammers strike the strings is often diluted by traditional piano
silencing techniques. Sensors located below the keyboard struggle to
accurately interpret the subtleties of musical expression, which is why
AnyTimeX2 pianos integrate sensors within the fine workings of the piano
action, reading the precise movements of each hammer. Whether
performing rapid passages that demand the same key be played repeatedly
before returning to its natural starting position, or pianissimo pieces
desiring the very softest of key strokes, the Integrated Hammer Sensing
System (IHSS) represents the elaborate nuances of every note. Pianists
can finally enjoy the convenience of absolute privacy, without
sacrificing the responsive touch and authentic expression of a
traditional acoustic piano.
Digital Convenience
The
AnyTimeX2 control box is placed below the keybed. In addition, the
AnyTimeX2 and AnyTimeX2-f models feature an innovative slide-out control
panel, with a gentle push revealing an LCD display and array of
function buttons. Digital operation greatly extends the capabilities of
the AnyTimeX2 piano beyond that of a traditional acoustic instrument,
with convenient transpose and tuning facilities, a metronome and song
recorder (except K-15 ATX2-p), and a selection of high fidelity sounds
suitable for various musical occasions. Dual headphone sockets provide
greater flexibility for academic institutions, while other connectors
allow a range of creative music-making opportunities.
Harmonic Imaging XL (HI-XL)
With
expanded piano sound memory, the new AnytimeX2 and AnyTimeX2-f models
boasts the largest sample size of any Kawai digital piano. This ‘eXtra
Long’ standard of Harmonic Imaging technology extends the important
attack portion of the piano sound by up to 120%, articulating the
natural detail and resonance characteristics of each note more clearly,
and improving the instrument’s organic tonal quality overall. When
playing a fine piano, the amount of pressure applied to the keyboard
affects not only the volume of the sound produced, but also the unique
tonal character of each note. Therefore, in order to construct a
realistic acoustic portrait of the EX concert grand piano, not only is
each key recorded individually, but also at various different volume
levels, ranging from gentle pianissimo to thunderous fortissimo.
AnytimeX2
and AnyTimeX2-f models offer a highly detailed acoustic portrait, with
Harmonic Imaging XL technology ensuring smooth tonal transitions across
the keyboard and throughout the entire dynamic range.
88-key Piano Sampling
The
beautiful sound of the Kawai EX concert grand piano is at the heart of
the new AnytimeX2 series, with all eighty-eight keys of this world-class
instrument painstakingly recorded, meticulously analyzed, and
accurately reproduced as high-fidelity digital waveforms.
Recording
each key individually in this way – as opposed to stretching the same
tone over several different notes – preserves the rich harmonic
character of the EX concert grand piano, and guarantees that the sound
heard when playing any key is a faithful representation of the original
acoustic source.
Acoustic Piano variety
The
AnytimeX2 models showcase a variety of grand piano sounds that are
suitable for a wide range of musical periods and styles. In addition, a
traditional Kawai upright piano sound is also included for pieces that
suggest a feeling of nostalgia, or call for a slightly more intimate
tonal character (except K-15 ATX2-p).
An
experienced piano technician is essential to fully realize the
potential of an acoustic piano. As well as meticulously tuning each
note, the technician performs regulation and voicing adjustments that
allow a fine instrument to truly sing. The Virtual Technician function
in the new AnytimeX2 and AnyTimeX2-f models simulate such refinements
digitally. Players can perform touch and voicing adjustments, regulate
hammer and key release noises, and fine-tune string, lid, and damper
resonances. It is even possible to adjust the precise tuning and volume
of individual notes – all in real-time.
The Variety of a Digital Piano
Supplementing
the beautiful acoustic piano voices, the AnytimeX2 models also feature
an excellent selection of additional sounds, ranging from electric piano
and drawbar or church organ, to strings, and other instruments,
inviting musicians to add variety to their performances.
The
AnytimeX2 and AnyTimeX2-f models feature several keyboard modes. The
Dual playing mode allows two different sounds, such as grand piano and
strings, to be layered together, while the Split and Four Hands modes
divide the keyboard into two independent sections. The volume balances
and can be adjusted quickly and easily.
Redeveloped Effects & Reverb
The
AnytimeX2 and AnyTimeX2-f models powerful new digital effects engine
further enhances the instrument’s superior core sounds, applying
additional layers of detail and realism that bring performances to life.
Studio
quality chorus, tremolo, delay, and auto-pan effects can be used to
tailor a sound’s character and feeling, with modelled amplifier/speaker
simulations applying vintage warmth to electric pianos and trademark
growl to drawbar organs.
The
depth of a performance can then be transformed using the updated reverb
features, allowing pianists to position themselves within one of six
acoustic environments, ranging from a small practice room to an
inspirational grand cathedral.
Flexible USB/MIDI Connectivity
The
AnytimeX2 and AnyTimeX2-f models are equipped with MIDI connectors that
allow the instrument to be connected to a computer or MIDI-instruments
for MIDI use.
The
USB to Device functionality (except K-15 ATX2-p) allows favorite
instrument settings, and memorable recorder songs stored in internal
memory to be safely preserved on USB, or standard MIDI files (SMF)
downloaded from the internet to be listened to using the instrument’s
exquisite Harmonic Imaging XL sounds without additional hardware.
MP3 Audio Playback & Record
USB
memory devices can also be used to play back MP3 or WAV audio files
(except K-15 ATX2-p), 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 record entire performances (including external
line-in audio*) directly as MP3 or WAV audio files for emailing to
family and friends, or casual listening away from the piano.
Useful Connectivity Options
In
addition to the USB to Device connector, the AnytimeX2 and AnyTimeX2-f
models also feature standard LINE-level audio and MIDI jacks. These
useful connectivity options allow the instrument to be enjoyed in larger
settings such as churches or school halls, and provide greater
flexibility when using computers and other audio devices.
Integrated Lesson Function
The
convenient lesson function (except K-15 ATX2-p) allows aspiring
pianists to learn piano with classical Czerny, Burgmüller, Beyer and
Bach etudes. With a strong emphasis on acoustic piano realism, both
models also feature traditional finger exercises, scales, and warm-up
drills, and include a companion book of printed scores to further aid
one’s practice.
Energy Conservation
The
AnytimeX2 models are equipped with a power saving feature which turns
off the piano automatically after a specified period of inactivity.

TOUCH - THE POWER OF PIANISSIMO
One of the most coveted attributes of a fine piano is dynamic range – the ability to play not only thundering fortissimos, but also the most delicate and sensitive pianissimos. The technological superiority of the Millennium III Action is most evident in its extraordinary ability to produce the perfect pianissimo. It seems ironic that the K-200 technology speaks loudest when it whispers.

In the Shigeru Kawai Research and Development Laboratory in Japan, the Shigeru Kawai renowned Master Piano Artisans patiently craft one of the world’s finest musical instruments scale design—the K-200 Professional Upright Piano. Combining time-tested methods of origin with today's most sophisticated piano design tools each K-200 Professional Upright Piano is conceived as a “next step” in the evolving art of the piano.

|
Purity of Tone that Fills the Room... In order to produce Kawai’s special tone, a broad range of woods are meticulously analyzed for quality and character, before being selected as the finest materials for each specific purpose. The soundboard has arguably the most significant influence over a piano’s individual tonal elements. Therefore, woods that conform to the most rigorous gravity and propagation velocity standards are carefully selected by experienced Kawai Artisan Craftsmen in order to achieve rich, deep bass tones, and bright, colorful, sustaining treble tones.
The synergy of the selection of the finest structurally divergent hardwoods produces a powerful, well-rounded richness of extraordinary tone that is the hallmark of the K-200 Piano. This focus creates an incredibly strong “core” foundation that maximizes the reflective capabilities of the inner rim for outstanding tonal power and sustain. Select precision permanently crowned soundboards made of only straight-grained, quarter-sawn solid spruce, with bridges made of solid maple, are carefully set and matched to the iron plate for correct string pressure and optimal enhanced energy transfer, which empowers the K-200 with exceptional energy transmission and tonal projection for life, breadth, and depth of extraordinary tone that lasts from generation to generation.

Playing the piano is as much an experience of "touch" as it is of tone. Day after day, the musician's hands come in contact with the piano keys. The piano's responsiveness can make a critical difference that can affect the player's performance, confidence and overall playing enjoyment. Consistent, ultra-responsive touch is a Kawai tradition.
The extraordinary combination of strength and stability allows the K-200 piano action to transfer energy to the underfelted hammers with unparalleled efficiency, power, precision and nuance for a superb playing experience, leaving more energy in the strings for increased tone production that will last over time better than any other piano.

A Rare Treasure… A limited number of all Kawai instruments will ever bear the name K-200. The rigorous degree of handwork and use of specially chosen materials keeps these instruments rare in both character and quantity. Each K-200 piano is a limited edition treasure numbered by year of creation.
