The Heart of the Portable ES Series: A Versatile Model Ready for Stage and Living Room
Positioned in the middle of the ES range, the ES520 combines portability, piano realism, and modern connectivity. More expressive than an entry-level model and more affordable than a high-end stage piano, it is suitable for both ambitious beginner pianists and experienced musicians seeking a lightweight and high-performance instrument.Keyboard Design
The Responsive Hammer Compact II action offers a precise and balanced weighted touch across 88 keys. The 3 sensors per key ensure fine detection of nuances and fast repetition. The matte surface limits slipping, while the adjustable velocity sensitivity (Light/Normal/Heavy/Off) allows you to tailor the response to your playing style. No escapement simulation, favoring a homogeneous and responsive touch.Sound Quality
The PHI (Progressive Harmonic Imaging) engine reproduces the character of the "Shigeru Kawai EX" and "Kawai EX" grand pianos thanks to 88-key sampling. With 34 voices and a 192-note polyphony, the ES520 ensures uninterrupted expression. The 2 x 20 W amplification system powers two 12 x 8 cm oval Bass Reflex speakers for a wide, detailed, and dynamic sound image.Built-in Effects
- Reverberations: 6 types (Room, Concert Hall, Cathedral, etc.).
- Modulations: chorus, tremolo, rotary, phaser.
- Delay and brightness/EQ to shape the timbre.
