Product Overview

The Bridge Between Tradition and Technology

The Saarang Sparshini Dx is designed for the modern musician who demands the soul of a traditional tanpura with the reliability of digital engineering. It utilizes high-fidelity sampler technology to replicate the complex overtones of a wooden tanpura. Unlike standard electronic shruti boxes, the Sparshini Dx features a traditional "stem" design with an additional speaker at ear level, providing the performer with an immersive and balanced sound monitoring experience during long practice sessions or live performances.

Product Description

Dual Playback Modes:

• Manual Plucking Mode: The stem of the instrument features four touch-sensitive "strings." When touched lightly, they trigger perfectly tuned notes, allowing the artist to maintain the meditative act of plucking without the hassle of manual tuning.

• Automatic Mode: The instrument can be set to play automatically, providing a consistent and tireless drone for vocalists and instrumentalists.

Advanced Tuning Capabilities:

The Sparshini Dx supports both 4-string and 5-string configurations. While the first four notes are tuned automatically based on your selected pitch, the 5th note features a manual tuning option, allowing for specialized ragas. It covers a wide tonic range of over one and a half octaves in half-note steps, with a dedicated Fine Tuning mode for micro-interval adjustments.

Professional Stage Features:

• Acoustic Realism: Multiple speakers (two in the base, one in the stem) create a spacious and powerful sound field.

• Power Reliability: Equipped with ASDM (Auto-Save Dual Memory), it remembers your last settings. The SMPS Universal Voltage system allows it to run on any power source from 90V to 260V AC, and it automatically switches to battery power during outages.

• Portability: Despite its grand appearance, the instrument is lightweight (approx. 1.5 kg) and can be dismantled for easy travel in its provided padded bag.
