IMPORTANT – Check your power supply –

Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voltage

specified on the name plate on the bottom panel. In some areas

a voltage selector may be provided on the bottom of the main

keyboard unit near the power cord. Make sure that the voltage

selector is set for the voltage in your area. The voltage selector

is set at 240V when the unit is initially shipped. To change the

setting use a “minus” screwdriver to rotate the selector dial so

that the correct voltage appears next to the pointer on the panel.

Before using this instrument, be sure to read “PRECAUTIONS”

on pages 5–6.

When assembling the unit, consult a qualified AvantGrand

dealer. (Refer to the assembly instructions at the end of this

manual.)

IMPORTANT – Vérifiez votre source d'alimentation –

Vérifiez que la tension de l'alimentation secteur correspond à

celle spécifiée sur la plaque du fabricant, située sur le panneau

inférieur. Les instruments vendus dans certaines régions

disposent d'un sélecteur de tension sur la partie inférieure du

clavier de l'unité principale, à côté du cordon d'alimentation.

Assurez-vous que le sélecteur de tension est réglé sur la tension

utilisée dans votre région. À sa sortie d'usine, le sélecteur est

réglé sur 240 V. Pour modifier ce réglage, utilisez un tournevis

plat et faites tourner le cadran du sélecteur jusqu'à ce que la

valeur correcte apparaisse à côté de l'indicateur sur le panneau.

Avant d'utiliser cet instrument, lisez attentivement la section

« PRÉCAUTIONS D'USAGE » aux pages 5-6.

Lors du montage de l'unité, contactez un revendeur AvantGrand

agréé. (Reportez-vous aux instructions de montage figurant à la

fin de ce manuel.)

IMPORTANTE – Compruebe la fuente de alimentación –

Asegúrese de que la tensión de la red eléctrica local de CA

coincide con la tensión especificada en la placa situada en el

panel inferior. Es posible que en algunas zonas se suministre un

selector de tensión en la parte inferior de la unidad del teclado

principal, junto al cable de alimentación. Asegúrese de que este

selector está ajustado según la tensión de la zona. El selector

de tensión viene ajustado de fábrica para 240 V. Para cambiar

el ajuste, utilice un destornillador de punta normal para girar el

selector hasta que la tensión correcta aparezca al lado del

puntero del panel.

Antes de utilizar el instrumento, lea la sección

“PRECAUCIONES”, en las páginas 5-6.

• Though the wooden parts of this instrument have been designed and produced

with care concerning the environment and human health, in some rare instances

customers may sense an unusual odor or develop irritation in the eyes, due to the

coating material and adhesive.

To avoid this, we recommend that you observe the following:

1. Specially ventilate the room for several days after unpacking and installing this

instrument, since it has been packed in airtight conditions in order to maintain

quality during transportation.

2. If the room housing the instrument is small, continue to ventilate it normally,

either daily or periodically.

3. If you have left the instrument in a closed room for a long time under high

• Do not place the bench in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall

over.

• Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or stepladder

or for any other purpose might result in accident or injury.

• Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to prevent the

possibility of accident or injury.

• For benches that can be adjusted, do not adjust the bench height while sitting on

the bench, since this can cause excessive force to be imposed on the adjustment

mechanism, possibly resulting in damage to the mechanism or even injury.

• If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten them

periodically using the specified tool in order to prevent the possibility of accident

or injury.

• Keep special watch over any small children so that they don’t fall off the rear of the

bench. Since the bench does not have a backrest, unsupervised use may result in

accident or injury.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Hybrid Piano

N3X

Combining over a century’s experience in crafting world-class pianos with the latest in advanced

technologies, Yamaha proudly introduces an instrument that is closer than ever to an actual

acoustic grand piano—equipped with every essential element pianists demand.

Authentic acoustic piano touch with special grand piano action and piano keyboard

An actual acoustic grand piano has an unmistakable rich expressive quality, thanks to its finely nuanced touch and

exceptional response. The remarkable AvantGrand N3X is the culmination of our many decades of expertise in

crafting grand pianos, and offers the discerning player a specially-developed grand piano action featuring a

configuration identical to the action of a real grand. The wood construction of the keyboard mirrors that of a grand

piano, and features the material ”Ivorite” for the white keys, giving them a texture amazingly close to that of natural

ivory. The result is a wonderfully expressive keyboard that provides an authentic touch and feel. In addition to a

hammer sensor, this instrument employs a non-contact key sensor that has no effect on the movement of the keys, yet

accurately recognizes the player's pressure on the keyboard, timing, and the other delicate nuances that affect musical

expression. Moreover, the TRS (Tactile Response System;

page 25) realistically reproduces the resonance of the

instrument, or the physical vibration that you feel from the keys or the pedals when you play a real grand piano.

Unique acoustic-sampling technique and speaker system

One of the most important factors in the resonance of an actual grand piano is the soundboard. Aiming to effectively

recreate that resonance, we sampled the grand piano voices utilizing Spatial Acoustic Sampling, which samples at

not only the left and right, but also center and rear positions. In addition, the installed speakers mimic the positions in

the grand piano from which the original samples were taken, and each of the speakers is equipped with its own

dedicated amplifier. This Spatial Acoustic Speaker System ensures optimum sound at the player's position, providing

more natural expression in the delicate nuances of each note. Moreover, a Soundboard Resonator, installed where the

music rest would be when laid flat, enhances the expressive response of the sound, providing a realistic response—

especially in the high notes.

The sound of several famous grand pianos in a single instrument  Page 20

The AvantGrand N3X puts the sounds of several different renowned grand pianos at your fingertips, including the

CFX, Yamaha’s flagship concert grand piano, a Bösendorfer* Imperial, an instrument esteemed by pianists

throughout its long history, and more—each with its own distinctive appeal and sonic characteristics. Simply select

the particular piano sound desired, according to the music you intend to play or your personal preferences.

* Bösendorfer is a subsidiary company of Yamaha.

Natural sound distance sensation for headphone play  Page 18

This instrument features a binaural sampling sound designed especially for use with headphones. Binaural sampling

is a method which uses two microphones placed where the ears of a performer would be, and records that piano

sound as it is. Listening to the sound created through this method with headphones gives the impression of being

immersed in the sound, as if it was actually emanating from the piano.

Since this instrument is equipped with two [PHONES] jacks, you

can connect two sets of standard stereo headphones. If you are

using only one set of headphones, insert a plug into either jack;

this automatically shuts off the speakers.

CAUTION

Avoid listening to the instrument at a high volume level through headphones

for a long period of time, to prevent hearing damage.

NOTE

The TRS is turned off when headphones are connected. Press the [TRS] button to turn it on (page 25).

NOTE

When the TRS (page 25) is on, sound can be heard to some degree even when the headphones are connected.

Reproducing the Natural Sound Distance Sensation (when using Headphones)—Binaural Sampling

and Stereophonic Optimizer

This instrument features two advanced technologies that allow you to enjoy exceptionally realistic, natural sound,

even though listening on headphones.

 Binaural Sampling (“CFX Grand” Voice only)

Binaural sampling is a method that uses two special microphones set at the ear position of a performer and records

the sound from a piano as it is. Listening to the sound with this effect through headphones gives the impression of

being immersed in the sound, as if it was actually emanating from the piano. Moreover, you can enjoy the sound

naturally for a long time without ear strain. When the default voice, “CFX Grand” (page 20) is selected, connecting

the headphones automatically enables the binaural sampling sound.

 Stereophonic Optimizer (Voices other than “CFX Grand”)

The Stereophonic Optimizer is an effect which reproduces natural sound distance like the sound of binaural sam-

pling even though you hear it on headphones. When the voice except “CFX Grand” (page 20) is selected, connect-

ing the headphones makes this Stereophonic Optimizer effective.

Turning the Binaural Sampling and Stereophonic Optimizer function on/off

When headphones are connected, the sound from this instrument changed to the sound of Binaural Sampling or the

sound enhanced with the Stereophonic Optimizer. Since these sounds are optimized for listening with headphones,

we recommend that you set this function to “OFF” (as described below).

While holding down [PIANO/VOICE] button, press the C6 key repeatedly (if necessary) to turn this function on/off.

The specified value is shown on the display while both controls are held.

Default setting: On

Using Headphones

You should turn these functions off when:

• Playing the sound of this instrument with an external powered speaker system or a mixer, while monitoring the sound

output from this instrument on connected headphones.

• Making an audio recording (page 34) and then playing that recorded audio Song through speakers.

(Make sure to turn off these functions before audio recording.)

NOTE

Before connecting an external powered speaker system or a mixer, be sure to read “Using an External Stereo System for Playback—AUX OUT [L/L+R] [R] jacks (unbalanced)” (page

42) or “Connecting to a Mixer—OUTPUT [L] [R] jacks (Balanced)” (page 42).

The instrument has three pedals that produce a range of expressive effects similar to those produced by

the pedals on an acoustic piano.

Damper Pedal (Right)

Pressing this pedal will sustain notes longer. Releasing this pedal immediately stops

(damps) any sustained notes. The damper pedal features a half-pedal function.

 Half-pedal function

This function allows the sustain length to vary depending on how far the pedal is

pressed. The farther you press the pedal, the more the sound sustains. For example, if

you press the damper pedal and all notes you are playing sound a bit murky and loud

with too much sustain, you can release the pedal half way to subdue the sustain (murk-

iness).

Sostenuto Pedal (Center)

Pressing this pedal while holding the notes will sustain the pressed notes (as if the

damper pedal had been pressed), but all subsequently played notes will not be sus-

tained. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while the other notes are

played “staccato.”

Soft Pedal (Left)

Pressing this pedal will reduce the volume and slightly change the timbre of the notes.

The notes played before this pedal is pressed are not affected.

Using the Pedals

If you press and hold the

damper pedal here, all the

notes shown will be sus-

tained.

If you press and hold the soste-

nuto pedal here, only the notes

held at this timing will be sus-

tained.
