Flagship Piano Sound Engine
• SuperNATURAL Piano
The LX-15’s highly acclaimed SuperNATURAL
Piano sound engine provides a stunning grand-
piano simulation, with seamless tonal transition
based on touch, smooth and natural decay, and
authentic expression for each key. The LX-15 is
also equipped
with historic
fortepiano and
harpsichord
sounds,
letting you
play Mozart,
• Acoustic-Projection Technology
Comprising three sets of stereo speakers, the
LX-15’s innovative Acoustic Projection
multi-dimensional
sound system
recreates the natural
and organic sound
field of an acoustic
grand piano.
Beethoven, and Chopin with the original sounds
from the period.
Flagship Keyboard
The LX-15’s flagship PHAIII Ivory Feel keyboard with
Escapement faithfully reproduces the appearance and playing
feel of a premium concert grand. With fast key-repetition and
sensitivity, the keyboard perfectly translates the subtle tonal
differences your performance style. The keys are finished with
a comfortable and realistic moisture-absorbent material.
Digital Advantage
Since it’s digital, the LX-15 lets you adjust its volume to suit
the surroundings, and you can use headphones for private
practice day or night. While you practice, take advantage
of the onboard skill-building features: metronome, recorder,
tempo/key change, Twin Piano, AB Repeat, and more.
Progressive Damper Pedal
The LX-15’s Progressive Damper Action Pedal offers light resistance
at the beginning of the stroke and more resistance the instant it
begins to take effect, just like a real acoustic piano. This allows
half-pedal techniques for subtle control of aftertones and resonance.
Elegant Cabinet
The LX-15’s stylish, contoured cabinet looks bold and
strong, but it’s compact and lightweight, with a depth of
483mm and weight of 91kg.
