...choosing a pickup for your viola?
The VR-2 is a full range pickup and forms the backbone for our viola pickup systems.
The response is sweet from the bottom end right up to the top. We use a high quality maple bridge of medium density that is ready for fitting and curvature. Since our single piezo sensing unit is built right into the bridge, it can not fall out or get out of position or adjustment.
There is no acoustic degradation or loss of normal acoustic tone or volume.
The pickup has excellent volume, great bottom and mids....and overall, a sweet, even response.
Combines our VR-2 viola bridge pickup with our SJAplus non-invasive low profile 1/4" output jack assembly with volume control.
Features:
Clean, clear sound reproduction This pickup has been designed to operate properly and sound terrific without the use of a preamp when plugged into any 'normal' amp (guitar amp, bass amp, etc.). As with any pickup, the sound can be further enhanced with an outboard preamp. If you require the added ability to be able to plug directly into a P.A. or mixer then you may wish to add either one of our new Mini Pre belt clipable preamps or one of our Preamp/DI units to your pickup system.
