3Dvarius Prism LED-lit 5-string electric violin, black

Similar in shape and design to 3Dvarius’ other 3D-printed violins, the Prism adds powerful LEDs that operate in 7 different modes, putting the full color spectrum at the player’s fingertips in a brightness that’s visible not only in darkened clubs but under bright stage lights! Smooth, balanced tone is provided by the 3Dvarius ‘S’ pickup, also found on their Line model violins. A case is included.

Lighting Modes

• Mode 1 – Breathe: A selectable color that flickers intermittently like breathing.
• Mode 2 ‒ Pure: A single color chosen by the violinist.
• Mode 3 ‒ Gradient: A changing color gradient, adaptable by the violinist.
• Mode 4 ‒ Prism: An automated changing color gradient, based on a prism’s colors.
• Mode 5 ‒ Sound Reactive: A responsive mode depending on what is played by the violinist. The Prism lights up with different intensities depending on the notes played.
• Mode 6 ‒ Color Reactive: A responsive mode depending on what is played by the violinist. The Prism changes colors according to the notes played.
• Mode 7 ‒ Fire: A mode that imitates flames.

The electronic system embedded in the violin body can be updated by the user. Suggested updates will be made available to instrumentalists, as free downloads from our website.

LED management

The LEDs are powered by a 9-volt battery. We suggest using a 9-volt rechargeable battery, as its purpose is solely to power the LEDs.

The LEDs are controllable using two rotary and push buttons. The first button allows the violinist to control the different modes and select the colors. The second manages the LED light intensity. The light intensity is such that, in dark setting, it is necessary to decrease it in order to avoid being blinded!

The battery life is approximately 2 hours, depending on the mode and intensity of the selected LEDs.
