The Privia PX-160 utilises Casio’s famous AiR Sound Source and its remarkable Tri-Sensor Scaled Hammer Action II keyboard. With several enhancements in sounds and features over the previous generation, the PX-160 continues to provide world-class features and style.
PRIVIA PX160 – THE PIANO
Casio’s proprietary sound source, “AiR” (Acoustic and intelligent Resonator) provides the grand piano sounds in the PX-160. Casio meticulously recorded the sound of a 9-foot concert grand at 4 dynamic levels. The AiR engine delivers this sound with seamless dynamics for a remarkably expressive and powerful performance. Damper Resonance is simulated by AiR for uncanny realism when the damper pedal is used.
PRIVIA PX160 – KEY ACTION
Featuring Casio’s famous Tri-Sensor Scaled Hammer Action II keyboard, the new PX160 also has new simulated Ebony and Ivory textured keys for an incredible feel and its three sensors capture the dynamics of a performance with unparalleled speed and accuracy.
Casio’s proprietary Hammer Response feature takes into consideration the speed at which different sized hammers move inside an acoustic grand piano relative to the velocity the keys are played. This timing nuance provides the ultimate key-to-sound experience that is unmatched by the standard actions of other brands.
PRIVIA PX160 – OUTSTANDING SOUND REPRODUCTION
The chassis has been redesigned not only to provide a more elegant look but also to accommodate a new powerful 8w x 8w speaker system, which delivers the PX-160’s remarkable sounds with the richness that they deserve. This speaker system is open to the front but also ported to the back, which provides remarkable sound when the PX-160 is placed against a wall.
This also allows the Privia PX160 Digital Piano to be used in a classroom or other environment where the sound will be projected towards the audience. Far superior to brands whose speaker systems are aimed mostly downward.
PRIVIA PX160 – NEW SOUNDS
The PX-160 also features newly developed string ensemble sounds. These rich stereo strings sound wonderful by themselves or layered with the PX-160’s grand pianos, electric pianos, harpsichord and more. The electric pianos have also been updated providing some dynamic sounds derived from Casio’s award winning PX-5S stage piano.
The PX-160 provides split and layer capability allowing you to play bass in your left hand and have two layered tones in your right. Duet mode allows the keyboard to be split into two equal ranges, so the student and teacher can use the piano simultaneously.
Standard equipment includes a built-in two track recorder to record and playback your practice and performances. The optional CS-67 stand puts the PX-160 at the proper piano key height and the optional SP-33 pedal system provides the same 3 pedal functionality as that of a grand piano. The keyboard touch (regulation) has three easily selectable levels – soft, medium or hard – to satisfy pianists from beginner to professional alike.
PRIVIA PX160 – GET CONNECTED
For quiet listening, the PX-160 now has two headphone outputs which are located on the front of the instrument. If you are performing or need to connect to a larger sound system such as a PA or Keyboard Amplifier, the PX160 also features 6.3mm (1/4″) left and right line outputs on the rear panel.
The PX-160 continues Casio’s tradition of providing “class compliant” USB connectivity on Privia digital pianos. This allows the PX-160 to be used with Mac or Windows computers without the need for downloading drivers. Class Compliant USB MIDI also allows the PX-160 to be used as a controller with the Apple iPad simply with the use of Apple’s Camera Connection Kit.
