Traditional Looks Meet Modern Innovation
The Realist RV4PeFA acoustic-electric violin combines traditional violin quality and aesthetics with an unobtrusive electronics system that perfectly captures your instrument’s acoustic voice. Boasting a Carpathian spruce top and molded maple ribs and back, the RV4PeFA delivers an uncompromising unplugged tone that’s unimpeded by the top-mounted Realist pickup and back-mounted integrated jack. What’s more, this model sports Realist’s Instant Active system that effortlessly converts your passive pickup harness into an active design, allowing for powerful tone shaping and increased gain with no external preamp or DI box necessary. Finally, although the RV4PeFA is loaded with cutting-edge refinements, it features an elegant and traditional style, courtesy of the Wittner Fine Tune pegs and discretely placed electronics.
Instant Active system to shape your tone
The RV4PeFA acoustic-electric violin’s electronics feature an incredibly innovative system that transforms your passive pickup into an active design! This system is completely battery-free, requiring only a 2-minute charge for up to 24 hours of active operation. Simply pull on the side-mounted tone knob to effortlessly switch to active mode, allowing you to plug directly into guitar amps, interfaces, and sound boards — no preamp or DI box needed.
Passive Realist pickup yields stellar plugged-in tone
When it's time to hit the stage, the RV4PeFA’s Realist pickup really brings it. Sweetwater violinists have found this passive pickup to be well balanced across all strings, boasting the perfect combination of natural body resonance and string vibration. What's more, it sounds rich, full, and natural. The RV4PeFA is also extremely resistant to feedback — a must-have for extra-loud applications. To top it off, the RV4PeFA's near-invisible side-mounted wooden volume and tone knobs, as well as its discreet output jack, give this acoustic-electric violin an attention-grabbing traditional look.
