KORG SV2-73S - Stage Piano with K-ARRAY Speakers, 73 RH3 Keys, and 72 Vintage Sounds

The KORG SV2-73S (built-in speaker version) is a stage piano that takes the Stage Vintage series to the next level, featuring over ten times the sample data of previous SVs, 72 vintage piano and keyboard sounds , 64 Favorite memories , and instant performance right from the “ always live ” panel. Its 73-note RH3 weighted keyboard (E–E) captures every nuance, while the K-ARRAY -developed stereo system delivers 2x15W with two 2.5” speakers and two 3” passive radiators – perfect for rehearsal, backstage, or small stages without external monitors.

The EDS-X engine delivers 128-note polyphony , faithfully recreating acoustic pianos (German, Italian, Austrian, Japanese; upright), reed and heel electric pianos, clavinets, organs, strings, and period sounds. The RX layer lets you mix in authentic noises (hammer strike, contact click, release), and the 6-block effects chain includes Valve Reactor with a 12AX7 tube for true analog character, plus compressor, wah , tremolo , amp models (Twin, Tweed, AC30, etc.), modulation (chorus, phaser, flanger, rotary), reverbs/delays, and a full limiter. With the SV-2 Editor, you can create splits and layers with up to three timbres per Favorite and organize custom libraries.
