Authentic, Rich Violin/Viola Amplification

The VV-Wi violin/viola pickup from KNA enables natural-sounding wireless or wired amplification of your instrument on concert stages large and small. Designed for portability with flexible features for professionals, the VV-Wi features piezo amplification that ably captures the rich overtones and tenor of acoustic instruments with authentic accuracy and depth. Here at Sweetwater, violin and viola players love the VV-Wi’s portable, easy-to-attach build and a classy look that’s stage ready.

Powerful wireless transmission with vast range

The VV-Wi’s onboard wireless system enables powerful cordless connections to amplification systems of your choice. Violin and viola players are expressive performers, and wireless sound is the best way to stay unencumbered so you can stay in touch with the music. The VV-Wi's pickup transmitters leverage impressive Ultra-high Frequency (UHF) technology that’s strong enough to pass through interior walls and can only be blocked by hills and large buildings. The included wireless transmitter and receiver sport a long transmission distance, strong anti-interference technology, low latency, and rich sound quality. Meanwhile, the built-in lithium-ion battery provides long-lasting power so you’re free to roam the stage with peace of mind. For your convenience, the VV-Wi also supports wired capability for plugging directly into amplifiers, audio interfaces, and PA systems — or even effect pedals for experimental play.

Classy lightweight design

Ebony wood housing gives the VV-Wi a rich, classic look that blends right in with a violin or viola, and the lightweight build maintains the same weight and playability you know and love. The transmitter attaches to the eye of your bridge and is padded with soft suede and cork-lined contact points on its adjustable legs, so you can rest assured your instrument’s finish will stay clean and pristine.

The piezo difference

Passive piezo electronics render your tone in clean amplified clarity that’s faithful to your instrument’s acoustics. Piezo electronics amplify wooden instruments' physical vibrational resonance with impeccable authenticity that professionals love. For decades, acoustic guitar players and orchestra pros have trusted piezo electronics for all their amplification needs. Plus, the VV-Wi features an onboard volume control for managing your levels.

KNA VV-Wi Features:

  • Violin/viola pickup with lightweight detachable design
  • Amplifies your violin or viola
  • Rich passive piezo electronics
  • Onboard volume control
  • Cork-padded adjustable clamp legs and soft suede cushioning
  • Ebony casing for a natural stage-ready look
  • Powerful UHF transmitter with low-latency and anti-interference build for wireless play
  • Wired capability: plug directly into an amplifier, audio interface, PA system, or impedance-matching preamp
What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Reviews

THE POWERRRR
Y'all. I feel a little ridiculous playing this and I LOVE it. It's so loud and clear and fun. I've never had the opportunity to play an electric violin, so this is my first experience getting to ROCK through an amp. Now I need to learn some violin parts to some rock songs so I can play along with my kid's band, ha.

Great sound and pickup, easy installation, instant connection. Worth the splurge versus the $20 kits I've seen.

Best pickup for acoustic Violin/Viola
With "KNA VV-Wi Portable Piezo Violin pickup"
you don't need a pre-amp. This is a pickup & wireless system (2 in 1).
Also this is UHF (Ultra High Frecuency) that means,
uses a frecuency so high that doesn't interfere with other pickup's frecuency,
because is so high as the ones used by pilots in the airplane.
I love the natural sound, because is a pickup, not a microphone so
if you are playing with other instruments like a drum,
this pickup only pick up your instrument.
I had some questions and called Jon from KNA, and he was very helpful
and took time to explain me and I really appreciate this from him.
Thank you Jon.
works great
I got it about a month ago, finally got a chance to hook it up for our band practice, I play in a bluegrass band and my fiddle is drowned out by the banjo and the other instruments that are miked, with this, you can hear me without having to be right in front of a mike, I would highly recommend, I did have to sand my bridge down a little to get the pickup to fit, but was not hard at all
Excellent pickup!
This pickup works well and is easy to use. My only complaint is that the bridge needed to be sanded quite a bit to fit the receptor, though I suppose a spare bridge could be used for that as well.

Nice!!!
We have a violinist at church and we blessed her with this pick up. Let me tell you. It sounds super nice and amazing. The sound that comes from this is jaw dropping clear and beautiful. No interference, no glitches. We were able to perform without a hitch. I have bought cheaper Bluetooth accessories for the band and have failed, but this one came through with flying colors. It's definitely worth the price. I recommend.
