SV250/255 Features
The SV250/SV255 SILENT Violin™ is a high quality electric violin designed
for stage and studio use.
Based on the same slim body design found in previous SILENT Violins™,
the SV250/255 incorporates a unique hollow structure in its body to deliver
enhanced acoustic tone and excellent playability.
The SV250/255 features a dual pickup design using one piezo-electric
pickup located underneath the bridge to reproduce the rich acoustic tone
produced by the overall instrument, and another newly developed piezo-
electric pickup built into the bridge to accurately reproduce subtle bowing
nuances. Output from the two pickups can be blended freely to create a wide
range of tone. The instrument’s electronics are housed in a sturdy aluminum
control box that can be placed on the floor or attached to the player’s
apparel with its integral belt clip. The unit supplies the violin’s preamp with
its needed electric power and incorporates an equalizer for shaping the tone
of the instrument’s audio signal. It also includes a headphone monitor amp
with independently adjustable volume and the unit can be powered from any
one of three power sources; two AA batteries, a power adaptor, or phantom
power.
In addition to a regular monaural line out, an XLR balanced output provides
a noise resistant balanced output signal for sending the instrument’s output
directly to a mixing console. The two outputs let you easily connect to an
effector/amp system and mixing console at the same time, or connect to a
DAW via an audio interface for recording.
Crafted with high quality woods, quality construction and finish, plus
electronics designed specically for the violin and diverse output options,
the SV250/255 goes beyond being a great instrument for practice to being
an instrument perfect for stage and recording use with its exceptional tone
quality and playability.

Control Box Instrument Jack
This jack is used to receive power from the Control Box
and transmit the audio signal from the instrument to the
Control Box. Use the supplied cable to connect the in-
strument to the “Instrument Jack” on the Control Box.
* A commercially available audio cable with stereo mini plugs
on both ends can also be used. (Cables with resistors are
not compatible.)
* The system will not operate properly if a monaural cable is
used.
* The system will not operate properly if the cable is attached
to anything other than the Control Box.
* Pass the cable end through the holes on the supplied cable band then attach to the shoulder rest
as shown in the diagram on the right to prevent accidental disconnecting of the cable.
• Disconnecting the cable while the power is ON may result in damage to the equipment. The
sudden shock to your ears may be severe, so please use caution.
• When connecting or disconnecting the cable, always make sure that the control box is not
connected to any external device, or that the power is switched OFF on the external device
before proceeding. The resulting loud sound may cause hearing loss and damage external
equipment.
• When connecting or disconnecting the cable, always make sure there are no inner ear-
phones or headphones, etc., connected. The loud sound may cause hearing loss and dam-
age the inner earphones or headphones.
<On the Control Box>
w
Instrument Jack (
)
This jack supplies power to the SV250/SV255 instru-
ment and receives the audio signal from the SV250/
SV255. Use the supplied cable to connect the instru-
ment to the “Instrument Jack” on the Control Box.
* The control box’s main power is switched ON when a cable
is connected to this jack.
* Hooking the cable onto the cable hook positioned furthest
away from the instrument jack prevents accidental discon-
nection of the cable.
• Always disconnect the cable when the instrument is not in use. The instrument continu-
ously consumes electric power when the cable is connected.
• When connecting or disconnecting the cable, always make sure that the control box is not
connected to any external device, or that the power is switched OFF on the external device
before proceeding. The resulting loud sound may cause hearing loss and damage external
equipment.
• When connecting or disconnecting the cable, always make sure there are no inner ear-
phones or headphones, etc., connected. The loud sound may cause hearing loss and dam-
age the inner earphones or headphones.
• Never connect any devices (including other SILENT Violins™ with different model num-
bers) other than the SV250/SV255 SILENT Violin™ that is included in the bundled set.
Doing so may result in damage to the other device.

Phones Jack (
)
For connecting the supplied inner earphones.
* The headphone amp’s power is switched ON when a pair of stereo inner earphones is connected
to this jack.
* The volume level for the stereo inner earphones can be adjusted with the
!0
PHONES VOLUME
control adjacent to the PHONES jack. Since the
!0
PHONES VOLUME is not linked to the MAIN
VOLUME control, its level can be adjusted independently of the LINE OUT.
* Any commercially available headphones or inner earphones can be used.
• Always disconnect the headphones or inner earphones from the jack when the instrument
is not being used. The device continuously consumes power when a cable is connected to
the jack. Also, switching the power on when nothing is connected to this jack deactivates
the headphone amp decreasing power consumption to increase battery life.
• Never disconnect the headphones or inner earphones while the headphones or inner ear-
phones are still in your ears. The resulting loud sound may cause hearing loss.
• Do not listen for extended periods of time at loud volume levels using the inner earphones
or headphones. Doing so can result in damage to your hearing.
r
Line Out Jack (Unbalanced) (LINE OUT)
The line out jack is compatible with a standard ¼” phone
plug. The signal is delivered from this output after being
adjusted with the volume, treble, and bass controls.
t
Line Out Jack (Balanced) (BALANCED OUT)
The balanced output jack is compatible with an XLR
connector. This jack delivers a balanced signal that is
the same as the LINE OUT jack (adjusted with volume,
treble, and bass controls).
The signal can be attenuated by 26dB using the BAL-
ANCED OUT PAD switch on the side of the control box.
• Make sure that the power is switched OFF or all volume levels are set to “0” on all external
equipment before connecting external equipment to the Line Out Jack (Unbalanced, Bal-
anced). Loud volume levels can damage your hearing, and damage equipment.
• When making connections to external devices, make sure that the proper plugs are used
and securely connected.
• If the sound is distorted, use the volume control on the instrument or on the Control Box
and lower the volume until the sound is no longer distorted.

Pickup Blend Control (PICKUP BLEND)
Controls the volume balance between the two built-in pickups.
The line out jack is compatible with a standard ¼” phone plug.
Rotate the knob fully to the right [BODY] to produce the signal
from the pickup underneath the bridge, which reproduces the rich
tone produced by the instrument’s body. Rotate the knob fully to the left [BRIDGE] to produce
the signal from the pickup in the bridge, which reproduces bow articulation and quicker re-
sponse. Set the dial to its center position to produce a balanced output of the two pickups.
* The volume control is not located on the instrument itself, use the volume control on the control
box to adjust the volume.
<On the Control Box>
u
Line Out Volume Control (VOLUME)
Adjusts the volume level of the signal delivered from
the LINE OUT and BALANCED OUT jacks. (It does
not effect the volume of the Phones jack.)
i
Treble Control (TREBLE)
Adjusts the treble or high range frequencies. (Effects
all output)
o
Bass Control (BASS)
Adjusts the bass or low range frequencies. (Effects
all output)
!0
Phones Volume (see diagram on page 7)
Adjusts the volume level of the Phones jack signal. (This volume can be set regardless of
the main volume control setting.)
* If the electric output sound is distorted, lower the VOLUME and other such controls to a suitable level.
!1
Ground Lift Switch (GROUND LIFT GND/LIFT)
Separates the ground between the instrument and external device when connecting the in-
strument to an external device via the BALANCED OUT XLR connector. The [GND] setting
is used under normal circumstances. If you experience noise due to a ground loop, move
the switch to the [LIFT] position to separate the ground between the instrument and exter-
nal device. This is one method that can be used to suppress noise.
* When the switch is set to the [LIFT] position, the instrument will not operate with phantom power
(Refer to page 11). Use batteries or a power adaptor.
!2
Balanced Out Pad Switch (BALANCED OUT PAD -26dB/OFF)
Attenuates the signal from the BALANCED OUT jack by 26dB.
Setting this switch to the [-26dB] position when connecting the instrument to a small mix-
ing console or other device that only has balanced XLR mic level inputs makes its output
compatible with a mic level input.
To connect the instrument to a line level balanced input on an external device, set the switch
to the [OFF] position to send the same level signal as that of the unbalanced LINE OUT.

About the Battery Warning Indicator (LED)
The Battery Warning Indicator located to the right of the instru-
ment jack on the control box, is usually off during normal op-
eration however, it will change from blinking to continuously lit
as battery power depletes. When the indicator starts blinking,
follow the cautions below and change the batteries as soon as
possible.
• Always follow the +/– signs when inserting the batteries. Improper insertion may result in fire.
• Always replace worn batteries with a complete set of new batteries. Never mix new and old batteries.
Do not mix different types of batteries (alkaline and manganese, or batteries from different manufac-
turers, or different types by the same manufacturer). Doing so may result in fire.
• To prevent possible damage to the unit due to battery leakage and unnecessary power drain, remove
the batteries from the unit when it is not going to be used for an extended period of time.
The warning indicator blinks once when connecting a cable to the jack if the batteries have an ad-
equate charge or the power adaptor is operating properly. (When operating on phantom power alone,
the light will not flash when connecting a cable due to the control box design.)

Using Batteries
Battery Indicator
Power Supply
The SV250/255 can operate on power supplied from three different power
sources; battery power, AC power, or phantom power supplied by an external
source via the XLR cable. Always make sure that the power is switched OFF
on the external audio device, or its volume is set to “0” before switching the in-
strument’s power ON.

Supplying AC Power
AC adaptor is optional, please purchase the optional
power adaptor (Refer to page 15).
1
Securely connect the power adaptor’s DC connector to the DC
IN jack on the side of the Control Box.
2
Plug the AC adaptor into a convenient wall AC power socket.

When Using Phantom Power
1
Use an XLR cable to connect the balanced out jack on the
instrument to a mixer or other external audio device that can
supply phantom power (48V).
2
Switch on the phantom power on the external device.
* Due to the supply limitations of phantom power, there is
not enough power to drive the headphone amp, so only the
amp for the line out jack and balanced out jack is opera-
tional regardless of whether a pair of inner earphones is
connected to the PHONES jack or not. (There is no output
from the PHONES jack.)
* When the instrument is powered using both phantom power
and the power adaptor, the headphone amplifier will oper-
ate since power supply priority is given to the power adap-
tor.

Tuning and Changing the Strings
Because the bridge includes a built in sensor,
which is connected to the body with a thin cable,
the instrument ships from the factory with the
bridge laying down. First, set up the bridge and
then proceed with tuning. 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.
• 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.
• The lower side of the bridge supports the 1st string (E),
the higher side supports the 4th string (G)/5th string
(C). Make sure the bridge is placed properly, then set
the bridge in the bridge seat.
• Ensure that the bridge stands vertically. If it leans to
one side, use both hands to adjust. Make sure that
each string passes over the corresponding slits in the
bridge.

• String tunings are, 1st string E, 2nd string A, 3rd
string D, 4th string G, 5th string C (SV255 only).
Push in on the tuning peg and rotate to tune. Use a
piano, tuning fork, or tuner to tune the instrument.
• Finally, use the adjuster to fine tune the strings.
• 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.
• Before using the instrument, make sure that the bridge is positioned vertically. Damage to the bridge
and poor sound quality may result if the bridge is not properly positioned.
Don’t loosen
too much.

Caution
Make sure that the strings are rest-
ing in their appropriate grooves in the
bridge when playing the instrument.
Strings may come out of their grooves when adjusting the
bridge or changing strings. Since the 1st (E) and 4th (G)/5th
(C) strings tend to come out of their grooves easily, use
your fingers to hold the strings gently in place when tuning
the instrument.
Also, the 1st (E) string is fitted with a protective tube. Make
sure that the tube rests on the bridge.
Always make sure that the bridge is standing ver-
tically, whether the instrument is being played or
stored. (see diagram on page 12)
Even if the bridge is standing vertically before tuning, it
may tilt during the tuning process. If so, readjust the bridge
so it stands vertically.
It is very important that the bridge stands vertically. If it
leans in either direction it will impair the sound and risk
damaging the instrument.
If the adjuster is too loose, it could pro-
duce noise while playing.
