K-500 Aures

AURES hybrid instruments combine the craftsmanship of Kawai acoustic pianos with state-of-the-art digital piano technology. Each piano is based on the solid foundation of Kawai's award-winning upright and grand pianos, offering class-leading features such as the Millennium III movement, considered the world's finest upright and grand piano movement.

AURES instruments, equipped with state-of-the-art Kawai digital and sound technologies, also include a top-of-the-range digital piano that can be played silently using headphones or their acoustic soundboard. Players can complement their performances with a wide selection of digital sounds or layer these sounds with the acoustic piano to create unique combinations. Practice new pieces using the built-in metronome, then record your performance or play along with tracks from a Bluetooth-connected smart device for a personal ensemble performance.

AURES instruments feature the latest Kawai digital piano sound technology from the highly acclaimed Concert Artist and Novus product lines. Playing through headphones or in AURES mode, pianists can enjoy the beautiful full concert grand piano sound of Shigeru Kawai's flagship SK-EX, stunningly reproduced using the advanced SK-EX Rendering sound engine.
