Roland HP-508 : Digital Piano

The ultimate home piano with a six-speaker sound system

The flagship HP508 digital piano offers the ultimate blend of style, feel and sound. Like the other two models in the range, the HP508 is based on the SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine, but earns its place at the top of the table thanks to it’s glorious cabinet design and six-speaker Acoustic Projection system. If you appreciate the finer things in life - be it design, craftsmanship or performance - the HP508 will make you happy every time you play it.

So what’s better than a four-speaker system that envelops the player in warm, rich sound? How about six speakers? The HP508’s premium six-speaker Acoustic Projection system is the jewel in the crown, producing a sound so pure that if you closed your eyes, you’d swear you were playing an acoustic piano. The piano’s low, mid and high timbres are intelligently blended and projected into the air around you, accurately recreating the sound field of an acoustic grand piano. And for the player this is great news; you get the emotion and character found in acoustic pianos, with all the advantages of a digital piano.

You also get the same highly-sensitive PHA-4 Concert-class keyboard found on the HP506, and as you play the keys, hear the SuperNATURAL Piano sound, and feel the Acoustic Projection speakers all working together, you’ll realise that the HP508 is a digital piano quite unlike any other.

Available in three finishes, contemporary black, rosewood and polished ebony, the HP508 is also the largest piano in the range. With a more imposing design compared to the other models, this is the piano for those who like to make a statement, with bold, confident lines, sturdy front legs and an overall feeling of strength, prestige and stateliness. And you still get everything that makes the other HP pianos so enjoyable to play, including the Piano Designer, 3D Headphones sound, built-in recorder, USB connectivity, free Roland piano apps and no need for tuning - ever.

Available in contemporary black, rosewood or polished ebony finishes.
