Kawai Novus NV6
Product information "Kawai Novus NV6"
The Novus NV6 is the newest model in the Novus range and the successor to the popular NV5S hybrid piano. The 2025 model retains the leading Millennium III hybrid keyboard and the unique damper mechanism of its predecessor, but offers improved sound, control and connectivity features.
Based on technologies from the CA901 digital piano, the NV6 features the new SK-EX Competition Grand Piano sound, recorded from the player’s perspective with a clear, brilliant tone. Together with the warm SK-EX Concert Grand, it delivers an outstanding sonic experience thanks to the Multi-Channel SK-EX Rendering sound engine.
The sounds are optimised by improved audio hardware, including a specially developed sampling filter and a dual-DAC system, while the new speaker setup with top drivers, tweeters and a refined soundboard produces a clear, balanced tone.
The touchscreen display is now anti-reflective and offers improved usability, including a switch-off function to reduce distractions. Bluetooth MIDI & Audio v5, USB-C and an integrated USB audio interface enable high-quality, low-latency digital connections.
The sleek cabinet preserves the classic design with a compact control panel, improved stability and practical updates for long-term use.
