L.R. Baggs VIO NT violin pickup with external jack mount
From one of the best-known names in the business, the L.R. Baggs violin pickup is a miniature vibration sensor cast directly into a Superieur Despiau “Two Tree” maple bridge for maximum sensitivity and signal transfer.
As an integral part of the bridge, it effortlessly captures the instrument’s inherent dynamics. Furthermore, its selective admittance pattern is aligned so that the signal is generated as the bridge moves in a left-right motion (in response to the string vibrations). The pickup also rejects any impulse directed to the plane of the bridge- minimizing annoying finger squeaks, body noise and feedback. It is the pickup of choice for top pros like Mark O’Connor, Darol Anger, Jean-Luc Ponty, and Sara Watkins. An external preamp is recommended.
Features
- Superieur Despiau “Two Tree” maple bridge
- Even string-to-string balance
- Highly feedback-resistant
Output Jack
This version of the VIO NT comes with an included Carpenter output jack (a stable jack design for mounting safely to the side of a violin), however, the jack is not wired to the pickup, by default. Here are your choices for output...
-
Default (unwired): This gives you the two components you need--pickup and jack--but leaves them separate so that a luthier can more easily do the work of fitting the bridge to your instrument, which a wired jack can impede.
- Wired: This option has us solder the Carpenter jack to the pickup before shipping. If you or your luthier are not adept at (or equipped to do) soldering, or if you're retrofitting this pickup to a flat-topped electric violin design that doesn't require intricate fitting, choose this option.
Please note that this bridge requires fitting to the instrument by a qualified luthier.
