LED-Lit Electric Violin
The Prism is an electric violin whose body lights up thanks to an LED lighting system. This LED system has several preconfigured modes.
The Prism retains the simple and clean design of our electric violins and is equipped with a high-quality pickup.
Illumination
The Prism electric violin integrates dozens of LEDs, allowing it to shine on stage. It offers several lighting modes:
- Mode 1 – Breath: A color that changes or pulses, simulating breathing.
- Mode 2 – Pure: A fixed color chosen by the violinist.
- Mode 3 – Gradient: A progressive and adaptable color gradient controlled by the violinist.
- Mode 4 – Prism: Multiple blended colors. Lighting inspired by the colors of a prism.
- Mode 5 – Sound Reactive: An intensity-reactive mode. The lighting responds to what you play. The Prism lights up with greater or lesser brightness depending on your playing intensity.
- Mode 6 – Color Reactive: A color-reactive mode. The violin reacts and changes colors according to how you play the instrument.
- Mode 7 – Fire: A mode that simulates the effect of flames.
More modes are under development! Download and update your instrument with our free updates. Connect your instrument via USB to your computer and update it easily.
Sound
Like the Line, the Prism electric violin is equipped with our “S pickup”. It is a very sensitive piezoelectric pickup with excellent sound quality. The power of our pickups eliminates the need for internal preamps. All “S pickups” are manufactured by 3Dvarius.
The sound and LED systems are completely independent to avoid any sound interference.
Customization
The Prism can be painted and customized with our customization service. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
LED Configuration
The LEDs are powered by a 9-volt battery. This battery is used exclusively for the LEDs. We recommend using rechargeable batteries, as they generally last longer and offer better performance.
The LEDs are adjustable using two rotary push-buttons. The first one allows switching between modes and selecting colors. The second one controls brightness. The brightness is so strong that in dark environments you may need to reduce it—to avoid being blinded! 😉
The battery life is typically around one and a half hours, depending on the mode and brightness settings.
The electronic system integrated into the violin body can be updated by the user via USB and a computer. New modes will be made available as they are developed and validated by our technical team. All updates are free and downloadable from our website.
In all pictures, the Prism ii no longer includes LEDs on the shoulder rest mount. These were removed to reduce the instrument’s overall weight and extend battery life.
Shape & Design
The Prism’s design is based on the original shape of the 3Dvarius, like the rest of our electric violins. It was created to be as simple as possible.
After leaving the factory, the electric violin body is manually polished, giving it a smooth feel to the touch. It then undergoes a series of treatments to ensure strength and durability for many years.
The electronic system is enclosed in a custom-made box, in which some transparent parts overlap to project the LED light evenly through the body of the violin, offering a stunning visual effect for the audience.
Made in France
Like all our electric violins, the Prism is entirely designed and manufactured in France—more precisely in the Occitania region, where the 3Dvarius company is based.
