Dual Pickups Deliver Greater Dynamic Range

The Yamaha SV200 double resolution of the pickup system comes from the two pickup configuration for the greater dynamic range. Pickups are mounted under the bridge with one under the leg on the high string side, the other under the leg on the low string side. The greater resolution, in the pickup system, allows the instrument to respond in greater detail, providing the performer with the ability to play from pianissimo to fortissimo with greater clarity and ease.

Output from the Line Out jack is monaural, but when heard through a pair of headphones connected to the Yamaha SV200’s headphones jack, you’ll hear the violin’s sound spread out naturally within the stereo field of the headphones.

Special EQ Control

The SV200 can isolates and controls the instrument’s upper harmonics, which have a great influence on the overall tone and sound produced by the instrument by utilizes a specially designed circuit. This capability to modify the tonal color of the instrument, to a harder or softer tone, provides the SV200 with greater flexibility in adjusting to individual playing styles, the PA system, room conditions, etc., plus a tone that is much closer to that of an acoustic violin’s. When playing vibrato, the use of the EQ control also allows the SV200 to excel. By providing greater response the instrument delivers a vibrato sound that is closer to acoustic than previous electric violins.

New Frame Design

Drawing upon knowledge gained from the design and development of our acoustic violins, our craftsmen have provided the SV200 with a more natural, closer to acoustic feel and enhanced playability. The oval shaped neck provides an identical feel of an acoustic violin, provided through a thin layer of a specially formulated finish. The frame has been extended further around past the chin rest so as to accommodate nearly any standard chin and/or shoulder rest. So if you have a particular rest design that you are accustomed to chances are it will fit the SV200 perfectly. A floating tailpiece enhances tone from the strings and the Line Out jack is positioned so the cord can be draped over the performer’s shoulder keeping it out of the way during performance.

Quality Electronics produces Quality Sound

Quality electronic circuitry used in the instrument has made the SV200 virtually noise free. The impedance of the Line Out jack is optimized for use with professional audio equipment making the SV200 perfect for stage or studio use where quality sound is a must. When performing live, feedback is no worry since the instrument uses no microphone and its solid body isn’t as susceptible to vibration as an acoustic instrument’s is. For high-end users, the SV200 is equipped with an EQ mode switch that allows the user to skip the built-in EQ’s default setting so you can take advantage of high-end equalization and tone controls available with professional audio equipment.

Color Variations

Available in four different colors, you can choose an SV200 that best represents you. Choose from an orthodox brown finish, a chic black, vivid Cardinal Red, or a cool Ocean Blue.
