A live experience like no other...
The Steinway & Sons Spirio | r, the world’s finest high resolution player piano capable of live performance capture and playback, now offers Spiriocast: high resolution, live broadcast from one Spirio | r to another.
“Spiriocast is brilliant because besides being an acoustically perfect instrument, it also brings concert-level performances right into your home.”Deb Martin, Editor in Chief, Downtown Magazine
The ultimate live experience
An unrivaled, unfiltered audio and visual experience delivered to any and every Steinway & Sons Spirio | r, the world’s finest high resolution player piano.
Spiriocast is the broadcast of high resolution music data, perfectly in sync with video and audio from one Spirio | r piano to one or many Spirio instruments.
real fidelity
High fidelity is defined as the reproduction of sound with little distortion, giving a result very similar to the original.
Spiriocast introduces real fidelty: it’s not a recording and not a reproduction — it’s your instrument playing live.
The Steinway patented proprietary sensor system in Spirio | r captures the movements of the hammers and pedaling and Spiriocast transfers the high resolution data to recreate an identical acoustical experience on all Spirio receiving the cast.
Beyond Stereo
The best seat in the house is yours.
A complete audio, visual and acoustic experience, Spiriocast can be integrated with your home AV system allowing you to attend live concerts in your own living room.
Experience the thrill of watching a pianist hands dance across the keyboard as you see and hear the world best pianists perform live on your Spirio.
Seamless Execution
Spiriocast software is seamlessly embedded in the Spirio app and is intuitively easy to use. Join a Spiriocast invitation from a friend, join a public broadcast on the calendar, or host and start a new Spiriocast all in seconds.
An iPad with the Spirio app and a Spirio piano are all that is required to host or to join a Spiriocast.
The Steinway-patented proprietary sensor system in Spirio | r captures the movements of the piano’s hammers and pedaling, and Spiriocast transfers the high resolution data to recreate an identical, perfectly in-sync, unfiltered audio, video and acoustical experience on any number of connected Spirios receiving the ’cast.
As a Spiriocast host, you may easily invite listeners to a broadcast from the Spirio app on your iPad. Once you go live, video and audio from your iPad will be transmitted to the listener’s iPad — or any connected device, such as an external monitor. When you play, the listening Spirios perform along in real time.
