New Technics SX-PX332 and SX-PX334 Digital Pianos
January 28, 1999Combining the true traditional sound of an acoustic piano with features available
only from digital technology, Technics new SX-PX332 and SX-PX334 digital pianos
have an incredible array of tones, timbres and acoustic nuances that are reproduced
with startling realism for convincing Grand Piano sound.
"From concert hall to chamber music, the new PX series digital pianos
are perfect for any venue," says Dan Slick, assistant general manager,
Technics Musical Instruments Division. "in addition to a superb Grand Piano
sound, both models enable the musician to give authentic acoustic performances."
Piano Ambiance Effect, a unique feature found on both models, adds intensity
and breadth to any piece for a spacious quality reminiscent of on-stage acoustics.
For smaller settings, switch the option to the "off' position and the pianos
create a less intense texture for a more intimate sound. Grand Piano, meanwhile,
provides a sound that's specifically rich, clear and textured, like a fine Concert
Grand. And the acclaimed Technics concert touch Dynamic Action Keyboard gives
these pianos a natural, grandpiano-like feel for achieving delicate nuances
between notes. Each model offers three different levels of touch sensitivity
for personal performer preference: light, normal and heavy.
The SX-PX334 has 64-note polyphony to tailor musical articulation to that of
the musician. Fast scales, arpeggios, extensive pedal use and even complex chords
become rich and satisfying. For added flexibility, this model also has nine
varieties of preset organ and string sounds, enabling the musician to choose
the best voice for each musical arrangement.
The SX-PX332 and SX-PX334 digital pianos also feature the standard threepedal
design: the usual sustain and soft pedals, as well as a fully functioning sostenuto.
For vocal accompaniments - or even conversation with the audience is a new microphone
input, included on the SX-PX332.
Both models offer a 2-track internal sequencer with a capacity of 4,500 notes
to make practicing and demos a snap.
The pianos have plenty of power for producing high sound output when needed.
The SX-PX332 pumps out 80 watts of power (40 x 2), while the SX-PX334 is powered
by a 120 waft amplifier (60 X 2).
The SX-PX332 and SX-PX334 digital pianos are available in black wood grain
or simulated cherry wood grain finishes, with a large, sturdy music stand. These
models will be available in March, 1999. For more information, visit www.technicsusa.com. |
