WHAT IS TransAcoustic™ TECHNOLOGY?
Creating acoustic sound from digital audio sources
TransAcoustic™ technology does not rely on speaker units to produce sound; instead, transducers are used. Transducers convert audio source signals into vibrations, and then relay them to the soundboard. The soundboard amplifies the vibrations, and the entire piano vibrates sympathetically. Even digital audio sources go through the same mechanism of resonance, so that the sound that reaches your ears is as rich as that of an acoustic piano.
Specially designed transducers for acoustic pianos
Commonly used transducers are too heavy to install on soundboards since the transducer weight compromises the soundboard’s essential functions. In response, Yamaha developed transducers specifically for acoustic pianos, designing them such that only the lightweight vibrating parts are installed on the soundboard. This allows faithful reproduction of the sound of an acoustic piano.
Focusing on the acoustic piano’s essential mechanism of resonating sounds
When you press the piano keys, its hammer strikes the corresponding strings, and the strings vibrate. The initial sound is small, but the soundboard amplifies it with the entire body of the piano serving as a resonator. The result: the distinctly rich sound of an acoustic piano. TransAcoustic™ technology deftly employs this mechanism of resonance keyed by the soundboard.
TransAcoustic™ TA2
Offering a greater range of ways to enjoy performing on an acoustic instrument, including volume control without compromising rich sound and connection with smart devices. The silencing function is used in the SILENT Piano™ SH2 type.
Acoustic Guitar (R)Evolution
Playing guitar in a great sounding room is the most inspiring, engaging playing experience imaginable – far more enjoyable than in a dry-sounding room like a lounge, office or den. Yamaha’s TransAcoustic Guitar recreates the incredible experience of playing in a rich, live room without needing any external amplification or effects – just the guitar itself. Whether you’re practicing, writing, recording or just playing for fun, the TransAcoustic Guitar will make you play better, longer and with more creativity. Once you’ve experienced it, you’ll never want to play another acoustic guitar again.
