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,
aordable 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 lls 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-Denition 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
glaze over, but just think of these as
High-Denition 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 dierent instruments to choose
from, the EG2180 and EG8180 will unleash
your creative spirit!

EG2180-BK
With a powerful, 80-Watt stereo amplier
and custom-designed loudspeaker system,
these pianos can ll 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
o. 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 ampliers, 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.
The sequencer also makes a highly
eective 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 awlessly. 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 dicult 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.

Studio-Grade Eects
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
eects processor. We’ve taken the liberty of
choosing some of our favorite eects for the
individual instruments, but you are free to
change them at any time. Available reverb
eects include ROOM, HALL 1, HALL 2 and
STAGE. And there are also special eects,
such as CHORUS (for a slight doubling
eect), 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 dierent 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 dierent layered sounds.
