A Pickup Designed to Respect the Violin and Its Dynamics
The V-200 is aimed at violinists seeking a discreet, reliable amplification solution focused on "performance." Its mounting principle on the wing allows for finely capturing playing variations (attack, vibrato, intensity) while avoiding heavy interventions on the instrument.
Intended Use and Musician Profile
Ideal for beginner to advanced musicians who play amplified (rehearsal, stage, worship, amplified orchestra, folk, contemporary music). The V-200 is particularly suitable when you want a stable sound capture, less sensitive to stage conditions than an external microphone, and a consistent sound from one concert to another.
Sound Character
Thanks to its ceramic piezo technology, the V-200 directly captures vibrations transmitted through the bridge. The sound emphasizes precision and responsiveness to the bow, with a clear attack useful in amplified contexts. For a more open sound and better frequency management (especially under strong amplification), using a preamp adapted to piezo pickups (high-impedance input) helps fully exploit dynamics and tonal balance.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To optimize the sound, a high-impedance preamp dedicated to piezo pickups is recommended to improve output level, dynamics, and tonal balance according to your sound chain.
