NS DesignNXTa Active Series 5-String Fretted Electric Violin in Sunburst 4/4
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
NS Design’s NXTa is a full-size, sunburst five-string fretted electric violin with a maple body and piezo-based Polar Pickup System. Its rock maple bridge allows action-height adjustment, while the contoured ebony chin rest and adjustable Custom Shoulder Rest address the player’s physical setup. The body-mounted tuning system is made for quick, precise adjustment and easier string changes. In Active Mode, a 60-second charge powers the capacitor circuit for up to 16 hours; Passive Mode works through a direct box or high-impedance amplifier input.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players using both bowed and plucked techniques through the Polar Pickup System.
- Performers needing active connection to either low- or high-impedance devices.
- Adjusting bridge action height and shoulder-rest position for their playing setup.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Passive-mode setups without a direct box or an amplifier with a high-impedance input.
