Strados
Series Pickup System
The Strados pickup system is a proprietary technology
developed by Zeta in cooperation with Stanford University.
This patented bridge pickup system is the heart of the Zeta
Strados violins, violas, cellos, and basses providing a warm,
rich, distinctive electric/acoustic string tone.

Each of the "signature" Strados bridge support
"fingers" of the violin and viola pickups dedicate
dual piezo pickups to each individual string. Responding to
the flex of the pickup "finger" rather than the
vibration sensitivity common to most piezo and transducer
pickup systems, the Strados pickup is able to respond with a
true electric-acoustic string tone that is resistant to the
sound vibrations that cause feedback at high volume levels.
The special black composite construction of the Strados
bridge pickup allows for maximum string sensitivity and
pickup gain, resulting in a beautiful electric-acoustic tone
with warmth and clarity even at high mega-stage
amplification levels.
Zeta's proprietary internal active preamp system increases
the power of the pickup signal from each individual string,
leading to separate internal gain controls to provide for
even string balance. This state-of-the-art system delivers a
wide range of amplification flexibility, supporting a
variety of tonal characteristics adaptable to diverse
playing techniques and styles of music. An internal 9-volt
battery provides over 1,000 hours of service on average.
Individual string digital outputs allow the use of each
string as a separate MIDI channel through the Synthony for
maximum MIDI controller capabilities. Access software
notation programs and MIDI applications, using the Strados
Modern Violin as a MIDI controller.
Whether used as an analog pickup or a digital MIDI pickup in
conjunction with the Zeta Synthony
II MIDI Controller / Synthesizer (sold separately), the
Strados pickup system provides clarity of string tone
without feedback.

Zeta’s patented Strados piezo pickup system provides a
warm, rich electric-acoustic cello tone. The distinctive
Strados "L"-shaped bridge support
"fingers" dedicate dual pickups to each individual
string. Responding to the flex of the "L" rather
than the vibration sensitivity of common piezo and
transducer pickup systems, the Strados cello pickup is able
to respond with a true acoustic-electric string tone that is
resistant to the sound vibrations that cause feedback at
high volume levels.
The special black composite construction of the Strados
cello bridge pickup allows for maximum string sensitivity
and pickup gain, resulting in a beautiful acoustic/electric
tone with warmth and clarity even at high
stage-amplification levels.
