Cutting-edge technology across the range

Each LX700 series piano offers a different combination of cabinet design, keyboard, pedals, and a number of onboard speakers. But many of the headline features are standard across the range. For example, Roland’s PureAcoustic Piano Modeling and PureAcoustic Ambience technologies are featured on all three instruments, along with the European and American piano models and additional sounds including electric pianos, organs, and orchestral instruments. Also standard are convenience features such as Bluetooth audio, Twin Piano mode (perfect for teacher-student duets), metronome, and headphones jacks for private playing, along with the unique C-shaped front-panel aperture that enhances natural sound projection.

Six-speaker system with powerful projection

The LX706’s three-way, six-speaker Acoustic Projection System offers the fidelity, power, and punch for amplifying your playing and music streamed via Bluetooth, re-creating the rich, immersive soundstage of an acoustic piano. The six drivers are divided into two sets of dedicated cabinet, nearfield, and spatial speakers; each set being optimized to deliver superior sound reproduction across the instrument’s dynamic range.

Hybrid Grand keyboard with escapement and Ebony/Ivory Feel

Compared Roland’s 88-note Hybrid Grand keyboard to the keyboard actions on most digital pianos, and the first thing you’ll notice is that the action assembly is longer. What this does is fix the pivot point of each key set further back, so you don’t need to press harder the further up the key you play. For maintenance-free reliability, the white keys combine sleek wooden sides with a robust inner frame. The keys have simulated ebony and ivory surfaces that absorb moisture for a crisp and natural playing experience. While playing, you’ll feel the perfect balance of pressure, momentum, and return movement; along with smooth vertical travel. The addition of Progressive Damper Action pedals enables a variety of advanced techniques that make playing the LX706 thrilling and satisfyingly authentic.

Stylish cabinet design with a compact footprint

Internationally recognized by the largest and most respected design competitions in the world, Roland’s LX700 series’ sophisticated modern-traditional design and attractive finish complements the décor of any room in your home. Featuring the most compact cabinet in the LX700 series, the LX706 is a digital piano that makes a classy, understated stylistic statement that is easy to fit into your living room or apartment.

What Roland Says...

The high-end home piano with six-speaker system, grand tone and ambience effects. For players investigating the Roland LX700 series and looking for the right balance between features and price, the LX706 demands a closer look. Designed for discerning pianists, the LX706 sits at the mid-point of the LX700 range, recreating the classic performance of an acoustic grand in a home-friendly format. Just like the flagship LX708 model, you’ll find a choice of authentic piano tones and onboard ambience technology, plus a dynamic Hybrid Grand Keyboard to spark your creativity. But with a more compact cabinet, closed-lid design and six-speaker system, the LX706 matches its pro-level performance with a budget-conscious price.

With its shorter cabinet height and closed-lid format, this sleek model is ideal for players who can’t spare the space for the taller LX708. The clean lines and lustrous finish instantly catch the eye, while closer inspection reveals the signature build features that make the LX series so enticing. Traditional and timeless – but with a twist – the LX706 is an instrument that complements your living space without dominating it. Available in polished ebony, dark rosewood and charcoal.

The LX706’s Hybrid Grand Keyboard has a longer key action compared to most digital pianos. Because the key action is longer, the pivot point of each key is set further back, so you don’t need to press harder the further up the key you play. The white keys combine sleek wooden sides with a durable inner frame for maintenance-free reliability. And when playing, you’ll feel the ideal balance of pressure, momentum and return movement, along with smooth vertical travel, while the addition of pedals that enable a variety of advanced techniques makes this an authentic and thrilling piano experience.

With a more streamlined take on the LX708’s Acoustic Projection System, the LX706 is still powerful and flexible enough for any musical scenario, with a three-way, six-speaker layout. Each of the three pairs of speakers are optimised to deliver superior sound reproduction across the piano’s dynamic range – even down to the noise as the hammers strike the strings, or the resonance of the cabinet as the sound reverberates through the piano’s body. Whether playing or streaming, you’ll hear your music with crystal-clear clarity.

Each model in the LX700 series offers a different combination of cabinet design, keyboard, pedals and the number of onboard speakers. But regardless of which LX700 model you choose, many of the headline features are standard across the range. For example, Roland’s PureAcoustic Piano Modelling and PureAcoustic Ambience technology is available on all three instruments, along with the European and American piano models and the additional sounds including electric pianos, organs and orchestral. You also get convenient features like Bluetooth audio, Twin Piano mode, metronome and the option to use headphones to play in private, along with the unique C-shape aperture on the front panel that enables natural sound projection.
