Low Profile, Big Sound
The E-09 introduces a new professional-grade industrial design to the E family. Its black metallic finish, coupled with a slim, streamlined chassis design, makes the E-09 eye catching and easy to transport. Despite its slim physique, the E-09 outputs an impressively big sound from its built-in stereo speaker system. You can enjoy playback three ways with the E-09: through headphones, through the built-in speakers, or through external amps and sounds systems via its line outputs.

16-Track Recorder
Music teachers and students will find the onboard 16-Track Recorder useful when learning how to play a song. You can record your performance with or without the arranger accompaniment, and students then can refer to the recording as a guide. Is the song or the teacher's performance too fast? Just slow down the tempo. Need to listen or practice the same section a couple of times? Use the marker/repeat function to specify a region to play repeatedly. Study and have fun with the E-09.
