The NXTa Series represents NS Design's straight-ahead pro-level instruments with eco-friendly, battery-free technology. Available in 5-string configurations across Violin, Cello, OMNI Bass, Upright Bass, and RADIUS Bass. Expertly crafted in the Czech Republic, these instruments deliver exceptional performance versatility.
At the heart of every NXTa is the Polar Pickup System paired with the MiSi™ supercapacitor-powered circuitry—enabling both passive and active modes. Switch between arco mode for dynamic bowing or pizzicato mode for sustained tones. A 60-second charge powers 16 hours of performance, no batteries required.
"I am a cellist, but I am a rocker too. I always wanted to stand/move/dance with my cello. My NXTa gave me that great possibility. In addition, my NS brought me to a whole new world of sounds, effects and pedals. It is so fun to play and very accurate in comparison with an acoustic cello. I Love it!" — Daniel Acebes "El Chelista"
"The battery-free MiSi Activator circuit, powered by a supercapacitor that can be fully charged in one minute, is a great example of how technological advances can be incorporated to achieve these basic goals." — Ned Steinberger
The solid maple construction and asymmetrical fingerboard relief deliver warm, acoustic-like tone while eliminating wolf tones and feedback. NS Strings from D'Addario™ are included as standard for all NXTa instruments, however are compatible with most other string types to achieve maximum tonal flexibility.
