Casio AP-550 BK Celviano Digitalpiano

Casio AP-550 BK Celviano digital piano: classical meets modern

The Casio AP-550 BK Celviano digital piano combines traditional design with modern features and offers both experienced pianists and beginners an outstanding playing experience. As part of the Classic series of new Celviano models, the AP-550 features a minimalist, elegant design that is available in three color options and appeals to piano purists in particular. In addition to its timeless look, this digital piano offers innovative technology that ensures a balanced sound and realistic playing style.

High-quality hybrid keyboard for a realistic playing feel

The Casio AP-550 is equipped with the Smart Hybrid Hammer Action keyboard, which was specially developed for the Celviano series. This keyboard is made from a combination of spruce wood and plastic, which gives it a particularly authentic feel. The hammer action provides precise and realistic feedback, similar to an acoustic piano. The key surface is designed to mimic the touch and feel of a real piano, while the hybrid construction ensures high durability.

In addition, the AP-550 features a new three-pedal system with stepless damping that allows fine control over sustain and damper resonance. This contributes to an even more realistic playing experience and allows the pianist to create nuanced sound changes like on a traditional acoustic piano.

AiR Grand sound generation for expressive sound variety

The sound generation of the Casio AP-550 is based on AiR Grand technology, which is known for its detailed and dynamic sound reproduction. This technology uses Multi-Dimensional Morphing to change the sound depending on playing speed and touch, providing a natural and expressive playing experience. With this system, the sound responds precisely to the subtleties of the playing, so that both soft and powerful sounds are reproduced authentically.

Another highlight of the AP-550 is the String Resonance system, which simulates the natural resonances of a grand piano. This system ensures that the string resonances are reproduced authentically, which creates a realistic sound atmosphere, especially with classical music. In addition, the Mechanical Sound System supports the reproduction of mechanical background noises that occur on acoustic pianos, creating an even more immersive playing experience.

Modern speaker system and innovative sound control

The Casio AP-550 BK is equipped with a modern 2-way speaker system consisting of four loudspeakers for a clear and powerful sound. The arrangement of the speakers ensures an even sound distribution in the room, which makes the sound of the piano appear particularly voluminous and natural. Thanks to the volume sync equalizer, the frequencies remain balanced even at low volumes, so that a full and harmonious sound is produced even when playing quietly.

Other integrated effects include various reverb and reverb types that add spatial depth to the sound. In addition, the Lid Simulator is another innovative feature that simulates the effect of the open or closed piano lid on the sound. This allows the musician to further adapt the sound to their needs and the respective room.

Intuitive operation and modern functions

The Casio AP-550 BK offers simple and clear control of all functions. The Visual Information Bar provides the musician with all important information at a glance and enables intuitive operation of the instrument. The integrated Classical Piano Repertoire sound collection offers a selection of high-quality piano sounds specially tuned to classical music, while the Instant RePlayer is a user-friendly audio recorder that allows you to easily record and play back your music.

A special highlight of the AP-550 is its compatibility with the CASIO MUSIC SPACE app, which serves as a remote control for the piano. With this app, you can easily control your piano via your smartphone or tablet, making practicing and performing even more convenient. The AP-550 is also equipped with the WU-BT10 Wireless MIDI & Audio Adapter, which enables a wireless connection to MIDI devices and audio setups.
