New sound generationFor the first time, Kawai offers a high-resolution multi-channel sampling of all 88 keys in combination with the latest Resonance Modelling technology with the new Pianist Mode. This mode uses the entire DSP power of the system for piano sound generation. This gives the player a lively and authentic playing experience.

New SpeakersThe Kawai CA 98's new speaker system was developed in collaboration with Onkyo, one of Japan's leading premium audio manufacturers. Innovative technologies such as 1-bit processing, dual DAC signal conversion, DIDRC filtering and Discrete Spectra module make the sound incredibly clear and powerful.
