The Ranjani Plus+5 is designed for musicians who require the extra depth of a 5th string without the bulk of a full-sized instrument. It is housed in a lightweight, unbreakable ABS plastic cabinet, making it extremely portable for concerts and travel. Its most standout feature is the dedicated 5th string control, which allows for manual tuning and flexible positioning (placing the 5th note either before or after the Pancham), offering unparalleled versatility for various Ragas.
Product Description
Superior Tonal Control:
The Ranjani Plus+5 features a distinct bass-treble control, allowing you to customize the "warmth" or "brightness" of the drone to suit your voice or instrument. The high-fidelity sound is projected through a high-quality built-in speaker, providing a lush and immersive acoustic environment for practice or performance.
Advanced 5th String Capability:
Unlike standard digital tanpuras, the Ranjani Plus+5 provides an independent ON/OFF button for the 5th string. This string is fully tunable by the user, and its position in the plucking sequence can be adjusted. This is particularly useful for Ragas that require specific drone variations like Nishad or Dhaivat as the secondary drone note.
Smart Engineering & Global Compatibility:
ASDM (Auto-Save Dual Memory): The instrument automatically saves your current pitch and settings. Additionally, it features a secondary memory slot to store an alternate pitch for quick recall.
Global Power (SMPS): The built-in Universal Power Supply (90V – 260V AC) means you can use this instrument anywhere in the world without a voltage converter.
Seamless Battery Backup: On the event of a power failure, the unit automatically switches to battery mode (6 x AA batteries) without any interruption to the sound.
