Casio PX S1100 Digital Piano, Black - Ex Demo

Full Description

An authentic grand experience

Casio's unique Multi-Dimensional Morphing Acoustic & Intelligent Resonator (AiR) Sound Source perfectly recreates the rich sound and vivid resonance of a real grand piano. Through the painstaking modelling of the sympathetic resonances of every individual string, the PX S1100 brings you an incredibly authentic playing experience. The AiR Sound Source also uses lossless audio compression, which perfectly preserves the original sound upon playback, and allows for many compressed waveform variations - resulting in an incredibly realistic, expressive piano experience.

All 88 keys of the PX S1100 have a luxurious, comfortable feel, with a fine-grained finish providing a tactile response. For a truly authentic experience, the hammer weighting exactly matches that of a grand piano, and digital scaling simulates the way in which every key has a subtly different touch and weight. When playing repeated notes, each note has a distinct voicing, which allows you to carefully control how a note starts to ring and to dampen it again with the same note. With such detailed control and expression, you'll forget that this is a digital piano.

Powerful speakers for nuanced performances

Two large speakers project the sound of your performances with incredible fidelity. The updated speakers have had Mica - a reinforcing material that is used in many high-end audio products - incorporated into their diaphragms. This allows for richer, cleaner projection of high frequencies, and a more defined, dynamic low end. Two 8W amplifiers give the PX S1100 some serious punch at high volumes, perfectly capturing and reproducing every detail and nuance of your playing. The capabilities of these speakers are ideally matched to the expressive needs and dynamic range of a grand piano, for a flawless experience.

Wireless connectivity for unrestrained control

With the included WU-BT10 wireless adaptor, you can connect your phone, tablet, or any Bluetooth Audio device to the incredible speaker system of the PX S1100 - and enable the Surround feature to completely fill the room with your music. You can simultaneously play the PX S1100 whilst using it as a speaker, allowing you to practice and play along live to music of your choosing.

Uniquely sleek design

The PX S1100 is the world's slimmest 88-key hammer action digital piano. It has a depth of only 232mm, and its minimalist design has been crafted to match a range of room sizes and interiors. With an elegant, mirror-like top panel, sleek touch controls, and a stylish one-tone colour design, the PX S1100 certainly makes a statement. Casio's unique high-density technology - consisting of a carefully miniaturised hammer action mechanism, a vertically mounted circuit-board, and oval-shaped low-profile speakers - makes it possible to have a digital piano of this size with no compromise on quality.

This compact size, combined with the PX S1100's incredibly lightweight (11.2kg), makes this a highly portable digital piano. Include the fact that you can run this piano on batteries - with a continuous battery life of up to four hours - and you have a digital piano that you can take anywhere.

Casio Music Space

This product now works with Casio's companion app, Casio Music Space. This app will allow you to access new possibilities with your Casio product whatever your playing ability. It can be used as a learning aid with a vast library of songs which you can play along with. Each note and its duration is shown visually in a piano roll making it easy to find the right notes and see how a piece of music is written. If you're more confident with reading music then you can try out the score mode - use the inbuilt scores or import your own to play along with! Page turns can be done with a pedal so you can focus entirely on your reading and playing.

A live concert simulator will simulate the reverb of a real concert space with several different settings to make you feel like you're performing in a wide variety of concert venues. You can also now access your digital piano or keyboard's settings quickly and easily with the app. No more remembering key and button combinations to alter settings - you can now change them in an easy to use and visual menu included in Casio Music Space. This app is available for free and more information can be found here.
