Kawai NOVUS NV6

The Novus NV6 is the latest model in the Novus series and the successor to the popular NV5S hybrid piano. The 2025 model retains the acclaimed Millennium III Hybrid keyboard action and unique damper mechanism of its predecessor, while offering enhanced sound, control, and connectivity features.

Drawing on technologies from the CA901 digital piano, the NV6 introduces the new SK-EX Competition Grand Piano sound, captured from the player’s perspective for a clear, brilliant tone. Together with the warm SK-EX Concert Grand, the Multi-Channel SK-EX Rendering sound engine delivers an exceptional playing experience.

Sound quality is further refined through upgraded audio hardware, including a specially developed sampling filterand dual-DAC system. The new speaker configuration—with premium drivers, tweeters, and a redesigned soundboard speaker—produces a clear, balanced tone across the entire range.

The anti-glare touchscreen now offers improved usability, with an optional screen-off function to minimize distractions. Bluetooth MIDI & Audio v5, USB-C, and an integrated USB audio interface enable high-quality, low-latency digital connectivity.

The slim cabinet preserves the classic Novus design while offering enhanced stability and practical updates for long-term reliability.
