Kawai Novus NV12
Kawai Novus NV12
The New Dimension of the Hybrid Grand Piano
The Kawai Novus NV12 redefines the concept of the hybrid piano. As the direct successor to the award-winning NV10S, it combines the authentic touch of an acoustic grand piano with cutting-edge digital technology – all within an elegant, concert grand-inspired design.
Design mit Tiefe und Eleganz
Das NV12 besticht durch sein neu gestaltetes Gehäuse, das rund ein Drittel tiefer ist als das des Vorgängers. Die sanft geschwungene Rückseite, der dreifach positionierbare Deckel und das offene Mittelsäulendesign verleihen dem Instrument eine harmonische Balance zwischen klassischer Eleganz und moderner Leichtigkeit.
Erstmals bietet ein Novus-Modell zudem eine echte Flügelnotenablage, deren Winkel und Position individuell angepasst oder bei Bedarf ganz entfernt werden können.
PentaDrive Soundboard System
At the heart of the NV12 lies the revolutionary PentaDrive Soundboard System. Instead of using conventional speakers, the sound is projected through five precisely positioned transducers onto a large wooden soundboard – creating a natural, room-filling resonance that comes remarkably close to that of an acoustic grand piano. The result is an immersive sound experience that you don’t just hear, but truly feel.
Authentic Grand Piano Action
Like no other hybrid piano, the NV12 combines state-of-the-art sensor technology with a genuine grand piano action. The Millennium III Hybrid Grand Piano Action with extended spruce hammer shanks and lightweight, durable ABS carbon components delivers an authentic touch and response. The optical sensor system captures every hammer movement with the utmost precision – ensuring a dynamic and expressive playing experience, just like on a concert grand.
Authentic Pedal Feel
The pursuit of perfection is also evident in the pedal response: the integrated damper mechanism reproduces the natural weight and physical feedback of a real grand piano pedal, providing an exceptionally realistic playing experience.
Shigeru Kawai SK-EX
Inside the NV12 works the latest SK-EX Rendering Sound Engine, capturing the tone of the legendary Shigeru Kawai SK-EX concert grand in all its nuances. Thanks to multi-channel sampling and precise resonance modeling, it produces a vivid, detailed sound that conveys the full emotional depth of the original instrument.
In addition, Harmonic Imaging XL provides a selection of alternative piano sounds, electric pianos, organs, strings, and synths – perfect for creative versatility.
Advanced Connectivity and Audio Quality
With Bluetooth® MIDI & Audio (Version 5), a USB-C audio interface with power supply, and high-end audio components, the NV12 is perfectly equipped for the modern musician’s everyday needs. Whether for wireless music playback, studio recording, or connecting to music apps – the NV12 offers maximum flexibility and outstanding sound quality, even when playing through headphones.
Virtual Piano Artisan
Using the integrated 5-inch touchscreen, every aspect of the sound can be precisely adjusted – from intonation and resonance to key and mechanical noises and the tuning of individual notes. The result is an instrument that can be shaped entirely to match your personal playing style and tonal preferences.
A New Chapter in Hybrid Artistry
With its elegant design, innovative soundboard system, and unmatched grand piano action, the Kawai Novus NV12 embodies the perfect symbiosis of tradition and technology. It is more than just an instrument – it is an experience that blurs the line between digital and acoustic.
Das Novus NV12 ist das neueste Modell der Novus-Reihe und der Nachfolger des preisgekrönten NV10S Hybrid-Pianos. Das 2025er Modell kombiniert ein größeres, von Konzertflügeln inspiriertes Gehäuse mit einem revolutionären Klangsystem, behält aber die bewährte Millennium III Hybrid-Tastatur und den echten Dämpfermechanismus bei.
Optisch beeindruckt der NV12 durch ein tiefes, sanft gewölbtes Gehäuse mit dreistufig klappbarem Deckel, was Klangprojektion und Ästhetik verbessert. Die Mittelstütze zeigt weiterhin polierte Silberpedalstangen, jetzt aber offen gestaltet für ein luftigeres Erscheinungsbild. Neu ist ein echtes Konzertflügel-Notenpult, das Winkel und Position flexibel anpasst oder ganz entfernt werden kann.
Im Zentrum steht das neue PentaDrive-Soundboard-System: Fünf sorgfältig platzierte Wandler übertragen die Energie direkt auf einen großen Holzresonanzboden. Das erzeugt einen reichen, vollmundigen Klang, der die Projektion eines akustischen Flügels nachbildet.
Wie das NV6 profitiert das NV12 von digitalen Verbesserungen aus dem CA901 Digitalpiano, einschließlich des neuen SK-EX Competition Grand Piano Sounds für klare, brillante Töne, ergänzt durch den warmen SK-EX Concert Grand. Der 5"-Touchscreen ist entspiegelt, bietet neue UI-Updates und Abschaltoption bei Inaktivität. Bluetooth MIDI & Audio v5 sowie ein USB-C-Anschluss mit Audio-Interface und Stromversorgung runden die moderne Konnektivität ab.
Mit seinem markanten Gehäuse, innovativer Akustik und verfeinerter digitaler Performance setzt das NV12 neue Maßstäbe für Hybridpianos und vermittelt ein echtes Konzertflügel-Erlebnis.
