Yamaha C1X TransAcoustic

Superb balance and rich tone. TransAcoustic™ functionality has been added to this C1X, a compact CX Series instrument that exudes Yamaha’s passion for the ideal piano. This is a TA2 type TransAcoustic™.

Newly developed TransAcoustic™ technology transmits digital sound directly to the piano soundboard, thus making the piano itself behave as a speaker. On a TransAcoustic™ piano, the sound that you hear is resonating directly from the soundboard. The tone generator sends an optimized audio signal to transducers that are connected by a coil to the soundboard. This sets the coils in motion, causing the soundboard to vibrate and generate sonic vibrations that travel through bridges attached to the soundboard, and are ultimately transmitted to the strings, making them resonate with sound.
