Hi everyone,
I've been looking for a straightforward information about that I described in the title.
Basically, I bought Kawai ES110 (upgrade from Korg B2's key action, but not in connectivity options without USB port...) and I've seen on various forums that I should get a mixer like Behringer Q502USB to hear both computer and piano on the same pair of headphones.
So how do I connect it?
My three ideas (I may be wrong though):
piano (Jack 6,5 mm from piano -> two Jacks 6,5mm (left, right channel) going to Line In 1 of the mixer
+
computer (Jack 3,5mm from laptop -> two jacks 6,5mm (left, right channel) going to Line In 2 of the mixer
2) same as 1) but I would use piano's L/R 6.5mm outputs instead of headphone jack?
3) piano (Jack 6,5 mm from piano -> two Jacks 6,5mm (left, right channel) going to Line In 1 of the mixer
+
connecting mixer to PC via its USB interface and threating it as a audio source inside Windows?
Hi,
-
I recently started playing with headphones on my Kawai es110, and when I plug the headphones in the front stereo outputs there is that faint but really noticeable hissing noise (same on low and high volume). It is not there when I play with the in built speakers, nor when I use the rear jack output (Mono) with headphones.

Does playing with the Mono jack output instead of the stereo change something ? I still hear the sound on both side when plugged to the Mono. Hope you can help and many thanks !
Hello All,
A Kawai ES110, purchased earlier this year, is my first digital piano, and I'm wondering if anyone else experiences this issue.
I hear a faint hiss when using headphones. If I'm wearing them as I turn the piano on, I hear silence for the two or three seconds during which the piano boots (and when pressing a key won't make a sound). Then I hear a faint click, and the hiss starts. At which time I can play like normal and hear the tones.
I don't think I hear it with the built in speakers, but it's harder to tell for sure.
It's faint, I can tune it out. But it's there, and noticeable if I pay attention. And certainly noticeable as I turn it on and start to hear it, or turn it off and the hiss ceases.
Is this a normal thing? Do other Kawai users hear the same thing? Is it common in other brands? Or is there an issue with my particular unit?
Thank you for reading!
I have it as well, and read a few people on pianoworld having it. I play exclusively with line out though (and have no problem with it) so I don't know about anything that can alievate it.
Your best bet is to ask in this thread, there's a Kawai rep and users of the piano there so it might provide insight.
What is your volume slider set to and what headphones are you using? If it's a headphone with low impedance, then that might be the reason. You need to lower your volume slider until you don't hear it (if possible). Another thing it could be is the adapter (if any) you're using to connect your headphones to the ES110.
Fwiw, I've had zero issues with my HD650 when I had an ES110.
