The Sound, Touch and Elegance of an Acoustic Piano with Cutting-Edge Digital Performance
BEHRINGER EUROGRANDs are master-class digital pianos with the sound and feel of traditional acoustic instruments in a compact, affordable package. The keyboard features 88 weighted keys with true
hammer-action and a state-of-the-art RSM (Real Sound Modeling) tone generator with 14 unique, high-quality voices. The EUROGRAND’s powerful loudspeaker system fills the room with a natural, spacious stereo sound rivaling that of its acoustic cousin.
True High-Fidelity Sound
Thanks to our RSM engine, EUROGRAND instruments sound just like a real acoustic grand, as well as a variety of other electronic and acoustic instruments. Real Sound Modeling
has revolutionized the piano in much the same way that High-Definition has changed television, bringing a level of realism to the digital piano that, up until now, was quite simply unattainable.
We even added a release sample to the harpsichord and cembalo that produces the sound of the “rose thorn” plucking the string as the key returns to its original position. We could get all techy and talk about sampling rates, bit-depth and other electronic esoterica until your eyes glaze over, but just think of these as High-Definition pianos!
Because all EUROGRAND pianos are digital, you’re not limited to just
traditional piano sounds. You can switch between piano, harpsichord, and a host of other instruments—including three organs, strings and even acoustic guitar. With 14 different instruments to choose from, the EG2180 and EG8180 will unleash your creative spirit!

With a powerful, 80-Watt stereo amplifier and custom-designed loudspeaker system, these pianos can fill the room with rich, natural sound that belies their compact size. And for those times when you’d rather practice or play without bothering others, each piano features dual headphone
jacks that switch the internal speakers off. This feature is extremely handy for student/teacher sessions.
If you want to expand on EUROGRAND’s already robust loudspeaker system,
the LINE OUT jacks can be used to connect to external keyboard amplifiers, PA or home stereo systems. You can even use the LINE OUT jacks to connect to recording
equipment, allowing you to share your songs with friends and family, or create an archive of your personal performance.
Studio-Grade Effects
There are few things that sound better than a grand piano being played in a concert hall. That’s why we’ve equipped the EUROGRAND with a state-of-the-art effects processor. We’ve taken the liberty of
choosing some of our favorite effects for the individual instruments, but you are free to change them at any time. Available reverb effects include ROOM, HALL 1, HALL 2 and STAGE. And there are also special effects, such as CHORUS (for a slight doubling effect), FLANGER (a slightly in and out of tune sound), TREMOLO (pulsating change in volume), and DELAY (echo).
Thanks for the memory
Every EUROGRAND piano has its own built-in 2-track sequencer, allowing you to record and play back a song. Each of the two tracks can record up to two sounds, which means the sequencer can play back up to four different sounds simultaneously. When you play along with the recorded tracks, you can add two additional “live” sounds, creating a complex performance with up to six different layered sounds.
The sequencer also makes a highly effective learning tool. Let’s say you’re learning a new piece of music.
First, record the song at a slow enough tempo to execute it flawlessly. Then, play along with the sequence and gradually increase the tempo until you reach your speed goal.

Or, if you’re having trouble with either your left or your right hand in a difficult piece, you can record the
other hand’s part and work through the troublesome section. This allows you to practice parts individually, speeding up the learning process.
