Frequently Asked Questions

The violin draws power directly from the plugged-in cable, eliminating the need for batteries. A standard instrument cable provides the necessary current.
The Polar pickup offers a different character – it’s known for its more natural, less aggressive tone compared to some of the brighter options on the market. It's a great choice for those wanting a more acoustic-like amplified sound.
Yes, the switch subtly adjusts the EQ to better suit pizzicato (plucked) or arco (bowed) playing, enhancing clarity for each technique, but it's a subtle change and won’t drastically alter the overall sound.
