{"product_id":"fishman-v-400-pour-alto-227382","title":"V-400 CONCERT SERIES VIOLA PICKUP","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA \"Concert\" Solution Designed for Viola and Stage Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe V-400 is part of a performance-oriented approach: capturing the viola as accurately as possible while maintaining a natural playing feel. The choice of a sensor integrated into the bridge, combined with a Despiau bridge, aims for direct vibration transmission and consistent sound across all strings to minimize level and timbre differences when switching registers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho Is It For and What Are Its Uses?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis pickup is intended for violists who wish to \u003cstrong\u003eamplify their instrument\u003c\/strong\u003e in concerts, rehearsals, or live recording contexts (monitors, front of house), with precise and stable sound reproduction. It is well suited for \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to advanced\u003c\/strong\u003e musicians seeking reliable sound, as well as professionals needing a consistent solution from one stage to another. In terms of styles, it fits perfectly in \u003cstrong\u003eclassical\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003echamber music\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ejazz\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003econtemporary music\u003c\/strong\u003e, and hybrid projects where the viola must remain intelligible in a mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a \u003cstrong\u003epiezo-ceramic sensor\u003c\/strong\u003e integrated into the bridge, the V-400 emphasizes attack, definition, and dynamics, with excellent sensitivity to bowing nuances. Integration into a \u003cstrong\u003eDespiau bridge\u003c\/strong\u003e promotes a particularly appreciated \"string-to-string\" balance: transitions from low to high registers remain smooth, and the sound retains clear articulation without losing the natural timbre. For the best sound quality (softer highs, fuller lows, less harshness), using an \u003cstrong\u003eadjustable impedance preamp\u003c\/strong\u003e is recommended: it helps optimize the tonal response of a piezo and restores a more organic feel, especially at high volume or in demanding sound reinforcement systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRecommended Compatible Accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor optimal use, plan for a \u003cstrong\u003epreamp for piezo pickups\u003c\/strong\u003e with a \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-impedance input\u003c\/strong\u003e (recommended, although the pickup can operate without one), as well as a good-quality \u003cstrong\u003e6.35 mm jack cable\u003c\/strong\u003e to connect the output to the amplification system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr)
