Does the soundboard speaker system on my Kawai hybrid piano produce sound, or is it just for decoration?
The soundboard speaker is fully functional — it resonates acoustically like a real piano soundboard and is central to the hybrid piano experience.
The soundboard speaker system on Kawai hybrid pianos is fully functional and produces authentic piano sound. It is not decorative.
The soundboard works by vibrating in response to the audio signal, reproducing the acoustic resonance of a traditional piano soundboard. This creates a realistic, full-range piano tone that fills the room in a way that conventional speakers cannot replicate.
The soundboard system is a core feature of Kawai hybrid pianos and works in conjunction with the instrument's built-in speakers to deliver the complete acoustic piano experience.
