Schatten Violin Pickups
VR Series --       -- VVM Series

Schatten VVM series available in two models

Non-Permanent Stick-On Pickups for Violin and Viola

The VVM Series of pickups will give you a convenient way to add a pickup to your violin or viola. These pickups were designed for quick and easy installation and removal and will provide you with a means for amplifying your instrument when you need it. When you don't need a pickup, the VVM can simply be stored away. They come complete and ready to go with no wiring, soldering or other fussing around.



Installation simply means attaching the jack assembly to your instrument, applying a bit of the special supplied putty to the back of the pickup, and then sticking the pickup in place. That's about it. Total installation time for those who are all thumbs seems to average about 3 minutes.

The VVM Series of pickups comes with your choice of either our SJA jack assembly (which provides a 1/4" output jack or our SJAplus jack assembly (which provides a 1/4" output jack plus an integrated volume control). These pickups are designed to fit full size and 3/4 size violins and violas.

VVM Std - The VVM pickup with our new low profile SJA jack assembly
VVM Pro - The VVM pickup with our special SJAplus jack assembly with integrated volume control.

Schatten has designed all of their pickups to operate properly and sound terrific without the use of a preamp if you are running into any 'normal' amp (guitar amp, bass amp, etc.)

If you require the added ability to be able to plug directly into a P.A. or mixer then you may wish to add a Schatten Preamp/DI unit to your pickup system.
