SH 945 NFX Nanoflex Pickup with Preamp for Violin

SH 945 NFX Nanoflex Pickup with Preamp for Violin

No modification on instrument needed!

Violin is a trade mark instrument for the planet earth. Its beautiful design and incredible frequency response make this instrument to be loved and used in symphony, jazz and contemporary music.

Shadow’s Nanoflex technology makes no compromise in preserving these features. It is built to reproduce the instrument vibrations authentically with every move of the bow in all positions. No need of instrument modification was a must in developing this absolutely noise and hum free violin pickup system.

Nanoflex pickups do not only take the vibrations of the strings like common undersaddle pickups. Nanoflex senses the vibrations of the strings AND the body of the instrument simultaneously. No other pickup technology gives you this high level of sound reproduction.

Due to active amplification directly at the pickup and 100% shielding of the entire system, no sound will be lost and no hum created.

This is why the best violin players in the world are using the Shadow SH 945 NFX violin Nanoflex pickup system.

The pickup mounts easily under the bridge and senses the vibrations of the bridge and the body. Control unit with volume and tone potentiometer mounts on violin side with chin rest type assembly. The control unit has input for pickup and standard 1/4" jack output, 3V cell battery (2032). Mounts easily and provides 1 year lifetime.

Nanoflex Technology

Nanoflex pickups do not only take the vibrations of the strings like common undersaddle pickups. Nanoflex senses the vibrations of the strings AND the body of the instrument simultaneously. This gives the equivalent of having a condenser-microphone mixed with an undersaddle pickup. No other technology gives you this high level of sound reproduction.

The pickup's flexible sensor made of 7 different, specially chosen material layers is capable of registering the pressure of the bridge saddle which transmits the string vibrations and at the same time the vibrations and movements of the instrument's soundboard precisely and absolutely accurately.

To protect this pure natural acoustic sound Shadow developed an unique technology that amplifies and protects the sound signal directly on the pickup. Unlike other pickups, the Nanoflex pickup signal is not passing through even a single millimetre of the wire and therefore eliminates environmental disturbances before the connection cable.

Due to active amplification directly at the pickup and 100% shielding of the entire system, no sound will be lost and no hum created. This is the difference from any other pickup technology.
