Fishman V-100 Violin/Viola Pickup

I use the pickup for more than 8 years (irish folk) and am very satisfied. If you do not have a holder on the violin, I recommend the V-200. I go straight into a preamp (Art Tube MP) and then edit the sound via EQ in the mixer, lower the treble slightly higher and the bass below 200 Hz very strongly. Something Hall to taste. The sound in this chain is almost feedback-free (!) And by gain in the mixer very high to control without it rushes.

With a clip microphone (I had previously used) you can achieve a somewhat more natural sound, but unfortunately only with the disadvantage of the feedback danger with loud stage sound (Irish pub), or low gain and therefore low volume. The violin was never heard properly with a microphone.

Another advantage: The pickup can remain fixed in / on the violin.

Recommendation: Let the slot in the bridge of a violin maker adjust, so the pickup passgenau
Is used. The required size in mm is in the

Other cables / adapter solutions have not worked well for me or not at all.
