Setup

■ Installing the Bridge

The SILENT Viola

is shipped from the factory with the bridge unfitted.

First, set up the bridge and then proceed with tuning.

•The lower side of the bridge supports the 1st string (A),

the higher side supports the 4th string (C). Make sure

the bridge is placed properly, then set the bridge in the

bridge seat. (Make sure the logo side of the bridge is

facing the tailpiece.)

• Make sure the entire underside of the bridge’s legs is in

contact with the pickup.

Also, make sure that the bridge does not slide off of the

Bridge Seat or that its legs are touching the sides of the

Bridge Seat. Doing so will result in deteriorated sound

quality.

• Ensure that the tailpiece side of the bridge stands verti-

cally. If it leans to one side, use both hands to adjust.

Make sure that each string passes over the correspond-

ing slits in the bridge.

* Playing the viola with a leaning bridge may result

in damage to the bridge or a deterioration in sound

quality.

■ The Shoulder Rest

Most standard size viola rests can be attached

to the body of the SILENT Viola

Shoulder rest

• Do not over-tighten or over-loosen the adjuster. It may result in damage to the instrument

or be a source of noise during performance.

• When removing the bridge from the instrument, make sure the adjuster does not come

into contact with the instrument so as to prevent scratching the instrument’s body.

Caution

■ Tuning

•The strings are tuned to the following pitches. The

1st string is tuned to A, the 2nd string to D, the 3rd

string to G, and the 4th string to C.

Use a piano, tuning fork, tuner, etc., and adjust the

pitch of each string using the tuning pegs. When ro-

tating the peg, apply firm pressure towards the head

stock.

• After tuning is complete, make sure that the tailpiece

side of the bridge is still properly aligned. If the bridge

is leaning in either direction, slightly loosen the

strings and carefully re-align the bridge using both

hands.

• An adjuster is provided on the 1st string for fine tun-

ing the string’s pitch.

Natural wood is used for some parts in this instrument. Depending upon the manner in, or

the circumstance under which the instrument is used, your fingers, body or clothes may

become blackened or the wood parts may change color. If your fingers or body become

blackened, it is not harmful but please wash with water thoroughly. The maker takes no

responsibility for any discoloration of clothes or wood parts.

■ Changing Strings

As the strings get old, sound quality will gradually decrease, and it will become difficult to tune

the instrument. Change the strings as soon as you think they are getting old.

Always change the strings one at a time, even if all strings must be changed.

The adjuster should be set

to the middle of its adjust-

ment range.

Before you string the instrument, set the adjuster

so that it is in the middle of its adjustment range.

(on the 1st string only)

Attach the string to the tailpiece.

• On the 4th (C), 3rd (G) and 2nd (D) strings,

from above the tailpiece insert the ball end of

the string into the hole on the tailpiece and hook

the ball end into the notch string hole.

• On the 1st (A) string, hook the ball end of the

string into the notch on the adjuster. At this

time, make sure that the ball is properly seated

in the notch on the adjuster.

• In some cases, the string’s ball end may be too

large to insert into the hole on the tailpiece from

above. If this is the case, pass the opposite end

of the string through the hole from the underside

of the tailpiece.

• The end of the strings are sharp and can cut fingers. Use caution when changing strings.

• When changing or adjusting strings, do not put your face close to the instrument. The string may

suddenly break resulting in eye or other unexpected injuries.

• Make sure that the tailpiece wire is

properly positioned around the

Insert the string into the hole on the peg and wind

the string onto the peg.

• On the 1st (A) and 2nd

(D) strings, make

two winds toward the 3rd and 4th string side

of the peg, then wind back over those winds

and to the opposite side of the string hole.

• On the 3rd (G) and 4th (C) strings, make two

winds toward the 1st and 2nd string side of the

peg, then wind back over those winds and to

the opposite side of the string hole.

Next, make sure that the bridge does not fall over

as you wind the strings. Ensure that the strings

pass over the corresponding slits on the top of

the bridge. (Make sure that the bridge is standing

vertically.)

Use a piano, tuning fork, tuner, etc., and adjust

the pitch of each string using the tuning pegs.

Use the adjuster on the 1st string for fine tuning

of string’s pitch.

• When the instrument is not going to be used for an extended period of time, loosen the strings until

the pitch drops a whole tone.

• Do not over-tighten or over-loosen the adjuster. It may result in damage to the

Power Supply

The SILENT Viola

is powered by a single 6F22 (S-006P) 9V battery. Before installing the

battery, make sure that the POWER switch (ON/OFF) located on the backside of the instru-

ment is in its OFF position.

Bij dit produkt zijn batterijen geleverd.

Wanneer deze leeg zijn, moet u ze niet

weggooien maar inleveren als KCA.

When battery power is depleted, the POWER lamp will go out and sound will not be produced.

When this occurs, please take careful note of the following precautions and replace the battery.

• When replacing the battery, purchase a replacement battery that properly fits the battery holder

(battery designs differ among makers). Too big a battery may damage the instrument. Too small a

battery may result in poor conductivity.

• Always follow the +/– signs when inserting the battery. Improper insertion may result in fire.

• To prevent possible damage to the unit due to battery leakage and unnecessary power drain, remove

the battery from the unit when it is not going to be used for an extended period of time.

Open the battery case located on the backside of the instrument by pulling the tab labeled “OPEN”

toward you, then open the battery compartment cover.

Insert the battery (S-006P:6F22) into the battery compartment. Take careful note of the polarity

markings (+/-) as shown in the illustration when inserting the battery.

Close the battery compartment cover and push the battery case all the way back into the instrument

body.

w VOLUME

Used to control the volume. Rotate the knob to

the right to increase the volume.

e EQ CTRL (Equalizer Control)

The SVV-200 SILENT Viola

is equipped with

an Equalizer Control that has the ability to isolate

and control the upper partials of the harmonics

that are created when the viola is played.

This function offers effective adjustment of the

SILENT Viola

’s tone, response, etc.

We recommend a setting of about “6” but please

adjust the tone to your own personal preference.

r EQ MODE Switch

Used to set the equalizer to one of its two EQ MODE types.

• EQ MODE 1

This mode is designed to deliver optimum tone from the instrument. We recommend that you adjust

the EQ CTRL to any level you like.

• EQ MODE 2

Select this mode when you want to use the tone produced directly from the pickup. This mode delivers

the uncolored tone directly from the pickup.

PICKUP

SENSOR

t Pickup Balancer

The SILENT Viola

's pickup system consists of separate sensors for low strings and high strings.

Depending upon the type of strings and your playing style, you might want to adjust the balance of the

high and low sensors. If so, please use the following procedure.

Remove the rubber cover located next to the POWER lamp on the rear control section of the instrument.

* Do not lose this cover.

Use a non-conductive screwdriver (made of plastic or resin so it does not conduct electricity) to turn the

balance control located inside the hole to adjust the pickup balance.

Use a pair of stereo earphones as a monitor and adjust the their position so that the most natural balance

between the two pickups is attained.

Turn to the right (clockwise) to increase the volume of the high strings sensor (R), turn to the left (counter-

clockwise) to increase the volume of the low strings sensor (L).

* Do not turn the Pickup Balancer control too far. Doing so may result in damage to the controller.

After adjustment is complete, replace the rubber cover.

HINT We recommend that the sound from the LINE OUT jack be checked as well when per-

forming this adjustment.

Adjustable Range

low sensor

y LINE OUT jack

This jack (standard phone, monaural) delivers signal output of the SILENT Viola

’s tone.

Use an audio cable to connect the instrument to the audio input jack of powered speakers, mixing console,

cassette player, etc. to listen from external audio equipment or recording. You can also connect this jack to

the INPUT jack on an electronic tuner and tune the SILENT Viola

like an electronic instrument using the

instrument’s output signal.

u PHONES jack

Connect a pair of stereo earphones, etc. to this jack (stereo mini).

When heard through the earphones, the viola's strings will appear to be spread out between the left and

right earphones with the low strings positioned toward the left (L) channel and the high strings toward the

right (R). This provides the player with a more natural sound experience when monitoring through the

headphones.

Make sure the L (left ear) and R (right ear) earphones are placed in the correct ears.

• Do not operate at high volume levels when using earphones. Doing so can lead to irreparable

damage to your hearing.

• Before connecting the SILENT Viola

to any external devices, make sure that the power of all

external devices is turned OFF. Set the volume level of the SILENT Viola

and any external

audio sources to the minimum level before connecting anything. High volume settings could

cause damage to the equipment and your hearing.

• If a connection cord is unplugged while the power is ON, it may result in damage to the equip-

ment. The sudden shock to your ears may be great, so please use with care.

• Be careful not to step on the cord. The cord may break, equipment may be damaged, and this

may cause a substantial shock to your ears.

Example Connections
