Yamaha Design “Synapses” PSR-E343/E243
2013 / DIGITAL KEYBOARD
New Digital Keyboards Makes It Easy to Enjoy Making Music.
Pride
Despite being an entry-level series, the PSR-E models have proven their versatility in a wide range of situations around the world. Combining synthesizer-cool and uncluttered elegance, these instruments are enough to inspire any performer to take the stage.
Inspiring
A slightly raised vertical wall at the back of the keybed conveys a feeling of solidity and gravity when playing, without interfering with portability. At the same time, the slope of the top deck down to where it intersects with this vertical wall reveals the player’s hands to the audience and lightens the impression given by this portable keyboard.
Honest
The design and materials of the two models have been carefully chosen to suit the tastes of different players. The PSR-E343 uses speaker mesh, and creates the impression that sound is being produced by the entire keyboard while clearly delineating the control panel. Hot-stamped labeling is used to differentiate functions by color.
Well-Made
The PSR-E243 uses two surface finishes-hairlines and textures—to express greater depth and richness of sound. Labeling is hot-stamped with a translucent matte to maintain clarity and simplicity.
