ZETA Owners Manual
Acoustic Pro Violin
The Acoustic Pro Violin features ZETA's patented E-Series pickup system. The E-Series pickup system utilizes a traditional maple bridge, which is fitted with our patented piezo crystals, then sealed with a protective coating. Dual patented piezo crystals are utilized, for a full-frequency response. It is the dual piezo crystals, which allow the violin to be amplified.
ZETA's piezo crystals have been designed in co-ordination with Stanford University's Music Technology Department, specifically for use with stringed instruments. These piezo crystals differ greatly from the ribbon transducers commonly found in other types of electric violins, and are exclusive to ZETA instruments.
The E-Series pickup system is best known for it's authentic acoustic tone, as well as resistance to feedback.
INTERNAL PREAMP
The Acoustic Pro Violin features a powerful internal preamp system. This 9-volt active preamp has been optimized to reproduce an authentic acoustic tone, and is exclusive to ZETA Performer Series violins featuring the E-Series pickup system.
SHOULDER REST
Your ZETA Strados Acoustic Pro Violin can be used with any shoulder rest - feel free to experiment with different models to find the best fit and most comfortable shoulder rest for your playing style.
TUNING PEGS
The ebony tuning pegs are designed to hold the strings at pitch for long periods of time without needing adjustment. The fine tuners behind the bridge provide control for normal daily tuning. The pegs are tightened by the same procedure as on a traditional acoustic violin. For best results, push the peg inward toward the peg box while tuning.
