NS Design NXTa 4 String Cello. THE NXTa ACTIVE SERIES CELLO, available with 4 or 5 strings, fretless or fretted, opens up new vistas for the serious cellist. FEATURES The tone quality and dynamic range of the NXTa cello owe much to the self-powered NS Polar™ Pickup System.
A convenient switch on the side of the NXTa allows the player to select sensitivity for either mode.
• Dual Mode Output – For improved convenience, versatility and performance capability
• Active Mode – for plugging the instrument straight into any low or high-impedance device; no direct box is necessary.
• Passive Mode – for plugging the instrument using a direct box or an amplifier with high-impedance input. (This mode provides performance capabilities identical to the original NXT.)
THE NXTa ACTIVE SERIES CELLO, available with 4 or 5 strings, fretless or fretted, opens up new vistas for the serious cellist. Crafted in the Czech Republic by the makers of the renowned CR Series, NXT series cellos exemplify flawless workmanship at an exceptional value.
The NS cello has certain built-in advantages over an acoustic as a pure electric instrument. One is the virtual absence of wolf tones, an unfortunate fact of life for the acoustic cellist. Another is freedom from feedback in amplified performance settings, which means that the cellist can move about the stage at will and, better yet, take solos at any volume.
Since 100% of the sound comes via the pickup, looping and other electronic effects in live performance are much easier and far more effective than with an amplified acoustic, where much of the unprocessed sound ''leaks'' out to the audience.
FEATURES The tone quality and dynamic range of the NXTa cello owe much to the self-powered NS Polar™ Pickup System. Employing special piezo crystals mounted beneath the bridge, the pickup captures the full sound spectrum created by the strings and body of the instrument. Arco versus Pizzicato playing creates more vibration energy in one direction than the other.
A convenient switch on the side of the NXTa allows the player to select sensitivity for either mode. The result is either a more percussive or smoother and more sustained response, adding a new dimension to what the player can create musically.
Eco-Friendly Operation: NXTa instruments are battery-free, eliminating the hassle and cost of batteries while helping protect our environment.
In combination with the easy adjustment of basic set-up parameters, the NXT Series Cello is adaptable to a nearly limitless range of music styles. The solid maple body, neck, and graduated fingerboard deliver a rich, full tone that rings true for every note. Asymmetrical fingerboard relief provides extraordinary ease of playability from the lowest to the highest positions.
To suit individual player preferences, the fingerboard relief can be adjusted via the truss rod in the neck, and the string height is readily adjustable at the bridge. NS Electric Strings and most traditional acoustic strings fit all NS cellos, allowing the player to select from a wide range, each with a unique sound feel. A fully adjustable tripod stand can be used seated or standing. The optional Cello End Pin Stand provides the seated cellist with familiar points of thigh contact and position.
The Boomerang™ Strap System or the Frame Strap System allows the cellist to stand up with full mobility for a new experience of freedom and expression.
An escutcheon pin on the neck, corresponding to the location of the heel on an acoustic cello, is standard; a more conventional wooden neck heel is also available for installation.
Please Note: NXT Series Cello 4 String Cello comes with a tripod stand. The Endpin stands, conversation kits and straps are extra.
**Please note: The NXT4a cello is available with a fretted fingerboard, but it will be a special order, so please contact us for the ETA.
