X Pickup

Our X pickups by 3Dvarius are passive. They use our new dual-piezo system to ensure perfect accuracy of the audio spectrum and a balanced response across all strings. They are available in 4, 5, 6 and 7-string versions.

X pickups are reactive and powerful enough to avoid the use of an internal preamp. They do not use a battery. They deliver a strong, clean sound, free of parasites and preventing feedback. Each pickup is individually tested to guarantee an even tonal balance.

X pickups sold on our website follow the measurements of classical bridges. Each violinist can adapt it to their instrument by sanding the base of the pickup.

If you are already using one of our electric violins, please contact us to receive a pickup that precisely matches our recommended string height.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the X pickup produce a good-quality sound?

The X pickup features our new dual-piezo system, which makes it extremely responsive and powerful. No preamp is needed to obtain a strong, clear sound. It also provides high sensitivity and excellent balance on each string.

With which violins can the X pickup be used?

This pickup is compatible with any 4/4 violin, especially electric violins with a solid body. The curvature of the 4-string version is identical to the curvature traditionally used on acoustic violin bridges.

How do I install the pickup on my violin?

Installing the pickup requires two solder points using a small soldering iron to connect the pickup to your instrument. If you do not have the necessary knowledge for this installation, a violin or guitar luthier can install the pickup on your violin.

Should the pickup be adapted to its reception?

The basic size of the pickup is modeled on the size used for acoustic violin bridges. When you install this new bridge, it is necessary to adapt it to your instrument and to your playing comfort.

Can I get it in another color?

Yes, it is possible. Contact us to be sure that we have in stock the color that you would.
