Is the JUNO-D8 worth it over the JUNO-D6 or D7?

The D8 is the only one in the line with 88 weighted PHA-4 keys. If you play piano parts and want hammer action, it is the one to get; the shorter models suit synth and organ players who prefer lighter keys.

How heavy is it to carry to gigs?

It weighs 14.5 kg and measures about 139 x 35.5 x 13.8 cm. That is manageable for one person with a padded bag, but a wheeled case makes load-in easier.

Does it have speakers or run on batteries?

No. It has no built-in speakers and runs from the included PSB-5U AC adaptor and power cord, so you need an amp, PA or headphones.

Can I record audio and MIDI to a computer over USB?

Yes. The USB-C port works as an audio/MIDI interface, so one cable carries sound and MIDI to a DAW. Balanced TRS main outputs and a 1/4" jack output are also on board.

The keyboard, the PSB-5U AC adaptor, a power cord, a startup guide and a safety leaflet. A sustain pedal and case are not included.

When is the price lowest?
