Roland LX-9 Digital Upright Piano Charcoal Black

Quick Product Summary

The Roland LX-9-CH Digital Upright Piano in Charcoal Black is the flagship model in Roland's premium LX range, combining an advanced acoustic-piano-inspired playing experience with the convenience of modern digital technology. Its Piano Reality Modeling sound engine, Hybrid Grand Keyboard and sophisticated eight-speaker Piano Reality Projection system deliver exceptional expression, detail and room-filling sound.

Finished in understated Charcoal Black, the LX-9-CH offers a refined alternative to traditional polished piano cabinets. Bluetooth connectivity, USB audio/MIDI, onboard recording and Roland Piano App compatibility add extensive practice, learning and connectivity features.

What Makes the Roland LX-9-CH Special?

The LX-9 represents the pinnacle of Roland's upright digital piano range. Its long-pivot Hybrid Grand Keyboard combines wood and composite materials with escapement, High Precision Sensing and Haptic Key Vibration, introducing subtle physical feedback through the keys to strengthen the connection between player and instrument. Piano Reality Modeling responds continuously to touch, dynamics and pedal technique for a highly nuanced piano experience.

Its four-way, eight-speaker Piano Reality Projection system uses dedicated cabinet, near-field, centre near-field and spatial speakers to reproduce different elements of the piano sound throughout the instrument and room. Six Piano Reality Ambience environments, Responsive Damper Action pedals and extensive Piano Designer controls give experienced players considerable freedom to personalise the response.

Who Is It For?

The Roland LX-9-CH is designed for advanced students, serious home pianists, experienced acoustic-piano players and families looking for Roland's most sophisticated upright digital piano.

It is particularly well suited to players who want premium keyboard feel and substantial room-filling sound while retaining practical digital advantages such as headphone practice, adjustable volume, recording, Bluetooth connectivity and freedom from regular tuning.

FAQs

Is the Roland LX-9 the flagship model in the LX range?

Yes. The LX-9 sits above the LX-6 and LX-5 as Roland's flagship premium upright digital piano, featuring the most advanced keyboard and speaker configuration in the series.

How does the LX-9 differ from the LX-6?

The LX-9 adds Haptic Key Vibration to its Hybrid Grand Keyboard and expands the sound system from five speakers to a four-way, eight-speaker Piano Reality Projection system. Its larger cabinet and opening top lid also create a more substantial acoustic-piano-style experience.

What is Haptic Key Vibration?

Haptic Key Vibration introduces subtle physical feedback through the keyboard, helping recreate some of the tactile sensation produced by vibrating strings and an acoustic piano cabinet.

Does the LX-9 have wooden keys?

The Hybrid Grand Keyboard uses a combination of wood and durable composite materials, with a long key pivot, escapement and Ebony/Ivory Feel surfaces.

What is Piano Reality Modeling?

Piano Reality Modeling recreates the complex interactions and resonances of an acoustic piano in real time, allowing the sound to respond continuously to touch, dynamics and pedal technique.

How many speakers does the LX-9 have?

The LX-9 features an advanced eight-speaker Piano Reality Projection system, including cabinet, near-field, centre near-field and spatial speakers.

Can the top lid be opened?

Yes. The LX-9 features an opening top lid, reinforcing its premium acoustic-upright-inspired cabinet design.

Can I practise privately using headphones?

Yes. Two headphone connections are provided, while Piano Reality Headphones Ambience creates a more spacious listening experience when practising without the speakers.

Does the LX-9 support Bluetooth?

Yes. Bluetooth Audio allows music from a compatible smartphone or tablet to play through the piano, while Bluetooth MIDI enables wireless communication with compatible music applications.

Does the LX-9 work with the Roland Piano App?

Yes. The Roland Piano App provides compatible learning features, digital scores and convenient access to selected piano functions.

Can I customise the piano sound?

Yes. Piano Designer provides extensive adjustment of resonance, hammer noise, cabinet response, soundboard character, pedal behaviour and individual-note settings.

Can I record my performances?

Yes. The LX-9 supports internal MIDI recording and WAV audio recording to a compatible USB flash drive.

Is the LX-9 suitable for advanced piano study?

Yes. Its Hybrid Grand Keyboard, long pivot length, High Precision Sensing, Haptic Key Vibration and advanced pedal system make it particularly well suited to demanding repertoire and serious piano study.

Does the LX-9 require regular tuning?

No. As a digital piano, the LX-9 remains consistently in tune without the regular professional tuning required by an acoustic piano.

What is the Charcoal Black finish like?

The Charcoal Black cabinet gives the LX-9 a sophisticated, understated appearance. It retains the model's imposing premium upright proportions while providing a softer, more contemporary alternative to a high-gloss polished finish.
