| Yamaha Piaggero NPV80 76 Key Digital Piano
The NPV80 the same basic feature set as its little brother, the NPV60, but adds additional tools tho the mix including an Arpeggiator, additional voices and USB to Device functionality. At the crossroads where portability meets functionality, Yamaha's Piaggero NPV80 Digital Piano is here to serve the keyboardist with incredible sounds and a great feel with a much easier more lightweight design for transporting from gig to gig. The word Piaggero itself comes from combining Piano and Leggero, the latter being the Italian word for Light.
Yamaha Piaggero NPV80 Features - 76-Key Graded Soft Touch (GST) keyboard
- True-to-Life grand piano organ, strings and guitar voices

Touch of Class
To recreate the playability of an acoustic piano, Piaggero features Yamaha's own Graded Soft Touch (GST) keyboard, giving keys in the lower octave a heavier touch than those in the upper octaves. While this scaled level of resistance is graded for a piano-like response, the keys themselves are not weighted for the sake of portability. This brings the NPV80 in at less than 14 pounds but still provides a touch that all pianists can appreciate.
Playing It Smart
Play a chord and the NPV80’s Intelligent Arpeggiator automatically plays the notes with the appropriate feel of the instrument. For example, different types of pianos have different signature grooves made famous by artists performing and recording with those keyboards. Acoustic pianos, electric pianos, clavinets, synthesizers… a keyboardist comps differently depending on the instrument they’re sitting at. The Intelligent Arpeggiator matches the appropriate keyboard groove to the current Voice. All you have to do is select a Voice and play a chord… Piaggero does the rest and makes you sound like a pro.
Essential Voices
Along with superb grand piano sound, Piaggero features a number of popular instrument Voices, such as organ, strings, and guitar all recorded using Yamaha's AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) stereo sampling technology for amazingly true-to-life sound. And for a complete orchestra of sonic options, Piaggero includes XGlite Voices and drum/SFX kits. This ensures compatibility with the wealth of Standard-MIDI and XG song files available today.
Perform with Style
Piaggero NPV80 boasts 160 preset Styles, from the basic rock and jazz beats to contemporary electronic rhythms, that follow and backup the performer with dynamically responsive accompaniment. Every Style is essentially a backup band of virtual virtuosos ready to follow your lead. Piaggero Styles all feature custom intros, variations, and endings giving you total control over your arrangement. Go ahead and play a couple of extra verses at the end of your performance...Piaggero can handle it.
Piaggero Takes Requests
At the touch of a button, Piaggero's Music Database offers pre-set combinations of Styles, Voices, effects and tempos based on the song you'd like to perform. Music Database is not jukebox or playback device...it's a feature that you use to quickly set up the Piaggero so you can play your favorite songs. As new songs become popular, Piaggero's Music Database stays with the times because additional titles can be downloaded from the internet on your PC and transferred via USB. It's the never-ending set list.

 | Mackie MR5 Powered Studio Monitor$30.00 Instant Savings!
Mackie MR5 Powered Studio Monitors deliver power and performance, at an unbelieveable price!
When you’re ready to make the switch to pro studio monitors, there are many things you need to consider. For instance, it’s up to you to create a mix that works on a variety of speakers—one that translates to boomboxes, home and car stereos, even headphones and portable music players. So you need monitors that deliver a neutral starting point, and sound that is clear across the frequency spectrum. You also want monitors with consistent performance, so whether you’re on axis or off, cranking ’em up or turning ’em down low, what you’re hearing is accurate. And you want all this at a reasonable price.
Mackie MR5 Features - Studio monitor with true Active design
- Precision Class A/B amplifiers with Active protection circuits: 55W for LF / 30W for HF
- HF and LF acoustic controls for room correction
- Balanced XLR, TRS and unbalanced RCA inputs
- Ultra-low distortion 5.25-inch steel frame LF transducer
- Waveguide loaded 1-inch high-resolution HF transducer
- Minimum-diffraction molded baffle for smooth, wide sweet zone
- Magnetically shielded for safe placement near computer/video monitors
- Precisely tuned for working interchangeably with other MR units
- Includes Tracktion 3 Music Production Software for Mac or PC
Mackie MR8 and MR5 Studio Monitors deliver truly professional quality and everything you need for critical monitoring—at a price that’s unbelievably affordable. Wide, even dispersion means a broad sweet spot, minimizing funny dips or peaks in frequency response when you move off axis. You get superior bass extension—tight and free from distortion—so your lows pack just the right amount of punch. And
Mackie MR Series monitors achieve their transparent sound quality thanks to these key design elements:
Minimum-Diffraction Molded Baffle:
When it comes to baffle design, shape matters; it plays a role in how sound waves travel. Mackie's baffle is precisely molded to minimize diffraction, so sound waves radiate smoothly, and are dispersed optimally. Mackie's precision waveguide is designed
Amplifier Design:
Amplifiers are the power behind a monitor’s sound, but they can also color it. Unlike with ive monitors, our amplifiers are precisely matched to the monitor design. Featuring Mackie's proven Class A/B architecture, the MR Monitors’ amplifiers are meticulously tuned to deliver ultra-flat frequency response, so the sound remains neutral. To compensate for room characteristics, acoustic controls allow you to adjust High Frequency and Low Frequency settings (+/-2dB). Balanced inputs allow you to get the best signal possible, but the option of unbalanced inputs mean you can connect easily to any source. And MR Monitors deliver enough power to handle the toughest source material, at sound levels beyond sane people’s requirements.
Cabinet:
A speaker’s cabinet is more than just an enclosure—it’s another component that affects the overall quality and character of the sound. Mackie's cabinet features a rear port, carefully tuned to deliver superior bass performance with no audible vent noise. Because air es through the precisely engineered curved port easily, there is no distortion, and no build-up ofure within the cabinet that could affect driver movement. The rigidity of the cabinet’s precision-braced MDF construction also prevents vibration, meaning your sound is always free from unwanted resonance.
Transducers:
Transducers are responsible for converting your electrical signal into sound, so consistent, unwavering performance is a must if you want sonic clarity. Mackie specifically creates their ultra-low distortion steel frame woofers and waveguide-loaded silk dome tweeters to work perfectly in concert with all the components in each MR monitor. You get a precisely tuned monitor that performs with impeccable consistency.
Applications
MR Series Monitors are ideal for a variety of applications. Use the MRs to empower your mixes in the studio, or to add pro sound to your multimedia, gaming or home theatre system. You can even use them for a great-sounding home DJ rig. The MR5 and MR8 Monitors the same design, so they function great together, too, making them optimal for multiple monitor setups—just add a Big Knob—as well as surround systems. For any applications where high quality sound and classic good looks are required, MR monitors are the perfect fit.
Mackie's Reputation Speaks for Itself
Mackie never means to toot their own horn, but there’s a reason serious pros love their gear. With every product they release into the wild—from monitors to loudspeakers to mixers—Mackie ups the ante on performance, reliability and affordability. Their innovation and commitment to great sound is why so many Mackie products are top sellers, and why their gear has legions of enthusiastic devotees.
Okay, that sounded a little like a toot. But the point is, they make great stuff and they’re proud. And they’re really proud of their MR Series. Sure, there are lots of other affordable so-called studio monitors out there, but they just don’t cut it when compared to the MR Series—and they aren’t backed by Mackie's years of experience. Thanks to their hardworking and knowledgeable audio experts, Mackie has once again set a whole new standard. Simply put, Mackie MR5 and MR8 Monitors sound and perform better than anything else in their class… But with the Mackie name, what else would you expect?
