benchmarksutra Music Gear Score: How We Rate Digital Pianos and Studio Monitors
Summary

How benchmarksutra rates digital pianos and studio monitors: maker-stated specs and Indian prices only, nothing guessed.

Quick Verdict

The benchmarksutra Music Gear Score rates 7 digital pianos and studio monitors sold in India. Every spec comes from the maker's own product page, and every price from an Indian retailer's listing. We never use test results from other sites, and we never fill a gap with a guess.

Researched, not hands-on tested. Scores use only the specifications on each maker's own product page (checked 15 November 2026) and prices at Indian retailers (checked 15 November 2026). We did not test these digital pianos and studio monitors ourselves. How the benchmarksutra Music Gear Score works.

What we rate

  • Hammer-action keys. Pianos only. Weighted hammer-action keys named by the maker rate 100; plain weighted or semi-weighted keys 40.

  • Polyphony. Pianos only. Maximum polyphony: 32 notes rates 0, 192 or more 100.

  • Voices. Pianos only. Number of built-in voices: 5 rates 0, 24 or more 100. Many voices matter less than piano feel, so this row has a small weight.

  • Speaker output. Pianos only. Total speaker output in watts: 6 W rates 0, 30 W or more 100.

  • Woofer size. Studio monitors only. Woofer size: 3 inches rates 0, 5 inches or more 100.

  • Low-frequency limit. Studio monitors only. The lowest frequency the maker states: 90 Hz rates 0, 40 Hz or lower 100. Makers measure this in different ways (some at −10 dB); we show each as stated.

  • Amplifier power per speaker. Studio monitors only. Amplifier power per speaker: 15 W rates 0, 80 W or more 100.

  • Price. Lowest price we found, against the cheapest product of the same type. Studio monitors are priced as a pair.

Buyer profiles

ins comparison chart by benchmarksutra

What we checked

We read each maker's own product or specification page. Digital pianos are scored on key action, polyphony, voices and speaker output; studio monitors on woofer size, the lowest frequency the maker states and amplifier power per speaker. Retail listings are used only for the price, and monitors are priced as a pair. Missing rows are left out and the weights re-spread; a product is ranked only if its maker states at least 4 of the rated items.

What we do not rate

Piano sound and key feel, and how accurate a monitor sounds in a room, need listening and playing tests. We do not run them and we do not use other sites' results. Guitars are not covered: their specs cannot separate one from another.
