Utilizing all the features of the new eMotion, Pianoforce has designed a totally integrated digital wireless player piano system intended to connect with a home audio system. Instead of a control box hanging from the piano, the system consists of a sophisticated component to add to the user's home audio with the ability to connect to the internet and access the built-in memory or optional hard drive. It's all transmitted wirelessly to the user's piano.

Pianoforce's Dynamic Speaker System, designed exclusively for the player piano industry, includes a subwoofer A speaker that reproduces the lower end of the audio spectrum. A subwoofer system may include a crossover circuit which switches frequencies at approximately 100Hz and under to the subwoofer, while passing the rest of the signal to the main speakers.  and two satellite speakers, bringing true stereo of the highest fidelity to the player piano--and filling a long void in the player piano business. Manufacturers and installers relied previously on computer speakers or other multi-media sound systems for the pianos. The Pianoforce Speaker System brings concert quality sound equal to the world class pianos that they are installed on.
