Thrilling concert grand performance in an elegant upright cabinet
With the AvantGrand NU1XA, you can put the expressive sound of a grand piano in your home, school, or house of worship. Yamaha’s painstaking attention to detail results in an instrument that sounds like a true concert grand, thanks to the NU1XA’s powerful speaker sound system with upward-facing woofers and tweeters sporting a newly designed horn assembly. The drivers are strategically integrated into the chambered cabinet to create a rich, room-filling sonic experience that will inspire the player and thrill listeners as it expands and resonates throughout the performance space. Superb aesthetics are an intrinsic component of the instrument’s design, as evidenced by the beautiful upright piano cabinetry that will grace any room in your home.
Authentic sound and feel
The NU1XA features Yamaha’s Articulation Sensor System. Employing unique non-contact electromagnetic sensors and a sophisticated algorithm, this advanced system captures every intricate detail of your playing. With two sensors for each key — one for the hammer and the other for triggering key-off samples — even the most subtle nuances of expression are accurately reproduced. From delicate trills to repeated notes, the mechanism captures every subtle movement. In addition, the NU1XA’s keys are crafted of real wood to provide a natural, authentic response that furthers the illusion that you’re playing an acoustic piano.
The superb playability of a real piano action
AvantGrand pianos are very popular at Sweetwater — and for good reason. With the NU1XA, you benefit from Yamaha's next-generation AvantGrand hybrid piano technology, which seamlessly blends the company's industry-leading digital innovation with its century-plus legacy of world-class piano craftsmanship. Audaciously incorporating a physical acoustic upright piano action and GrandTouch pedal system that intuitively connect piano and pianist, the NU1XA delivers a rewardingly dynamic playing experience. The NU1XA's GrandTouch pedals employ a mechanism similar to that of a grand piano to re-create the subtle changes in resistance you feel when using an actual grand piano pedal. Plus, the NU1XA facilitates the same half-pedaling techniques that you would use with a grand piano, giving you fine control over sustain and reverberation.
Two world-class concert grands in one digital piano
Yamaha's NU1XA features two classic concert grands: Yamaha's own flagship CFX — selected and played by the winner of the 2010 International Chopin Piano Competition — and the revered Bösendorfer Imperial, the eight-octave behemoth from one of the world's oldest and most esteemed piano makers. Whether you prefer the bold, expansive voice of the CFX or the warm, rich Viennese tonality of the Imperial, switching between them is as simple as the press of a button. Characterized by their distinctive traits, including power, versatility, subtlety, and mellowness, both of these superb pianos are featured (by name) in the NU1XA. Tuned to perfection by experienced technicians and with each key meticulously sampled individually at multiple velocities, the truly NU1XA captures the unique tonal character of each of these peerless instruments.
Virtual Resonance Modeling delivers stunning acoustic realism
As Yamaha’s Grand Expression Modeling technology replicates the mechanics of a piano’s hammers, strings, and internal components, Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) re-creates the resonance of the piano strings and body as they respond in real time to the innumerable acoustic factors at play within an acoustic grand piano. Through headphones, concert hall performances are reproduced with breathtaking spatial dimensionality, courtesy of Yamaha’s 3D Binaural Sampling. And of course, your AvantGrand will never need tuning or registration!
3D Binaural Sampling for a richly immersive headphone experience
For the NU1XA, headphone connectivity isn’t just an add-on feature. Thanks to Yamaha’s advanced 3D Binaural Sampling, the CFX and Bösendorfer sounds you hear through your headphones are stunningly lifelike. Key to this technology are piano samples recorded by specialized microphones that capture locational information and other spacial details discernible by the human ear. The resulting sound is so enveloping and incredibly natural that you could well forget that you’re listening through headphones.
Generous connectivity
Behind its streamlined control panel, the Yamaha NU1XA offers an abundance of connectivity options for maximum functionality and integration with external devices. You can connect it to computers and mobile devices via USB and to recording systems via audio cables. USB Audio/MIDI connectivity lets you connect the piano to your Mac or PC to record audio and MIDI directly into your favorite DAW software. The NU1XA can even act as a Bluetooth receiver and integrate with iOS apps via Wi-Fi.
