The VR is
a full range pickup and forms the backbone of 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
All viola pickups are available with
our quick mount SJA or SJAplus (volume control) jack
assemblies.
We have designed all of
our pickups to operate properly and sound terrific without the use of a preamp
if you are running into any 'normal' amp (guitar amp, bass amp,
etc.)
If you require the added ability to be able to
plug directly into a P.A. or mixer then you may wish to add one of
our Preamp/DI units to your pickup
system.

A note
about preamps, DI's, mixers, boards: This pickup is
designed to work properly running from our pickup into any
normal amp (guitar amp, bass amp, etc.).
Due to design factors inherent in P.A. mixers and boards (and these
vary considerably), if you are running straight into a P.A., then a
Preamp/ DI will most likely
be necessary to boost line signal strength
and lower the impedance so that the mixer
receives a proper signal.
