/THE ORIGINAL ACTIVE PICKUP.
MADE IN THE USA SINCE 1976
5
The original concept and intent in designing the fi rst EMG’s was to create a pickup that
translated an instrument’s tone more realistically with improved characteristics; making
the instrument play and sound more musical. We’ve created a line of pickups that speaks to
what musicians in the real world are asking for: versatility, reliability, responsiveness, and
great all around tone. There truly is no comparison between EMG’s and other conventional
pickups on the market today. EMG’s have a much broader frequency response that’s better
for capturing harmonics, chord defi nition, individual notes, and overall dynamics. We never
forget that a pickup is a product of a good design recipe which directly affects the type of
music you play and how you play it. Included here are some of the elements of our design
considerations which ultimately infl uence the fi nal result.
EMG PICKUPS
The fi rst choice in pickup design is the string interface. The selection of a bar magnet or individual pole pieces is an important one. All initial EMG designs used a bar magnet for two reasons. First, pole piecesplace too much magnetism under the strings and cause lower ones to go “out of pitch”, with a Doppler effect, and second, pole piecescan also make intonation and tuning diffi cult. Designs featuring a bar magnet have a much more linear (balanced) output from string to string. Their attack is less pronounced than the pole piece design resulting in smoother distortion, less fade on string bending, and much better sustain.
By relying on the internal preamp for gain, the bar magnet can be smaller, further limiting the magnetic “pull” on the strings. The inherent qualities of a bar magnet allow a continuous magnetic fi eld that allows for any string spacing which is perfect for use with any multi-stringed instrument. On the other hand, if you prefer pole pieces, there is an EMG model to meet your needs. Pole pieces imparta much more percussive attack giving the pickup more of an “organic” sound. Depending on the model, steel pole pieces (either bar or screw/stud), can be coupled with alnico or ceramic magnets, each combination having individual characteristics that affect the attack, output, frequency response and ultimately the tone of the pickup.

BTCThe most important aspect governing the tone of any pickup is its resonant frequency. EMG’s exclusive “impedance modeling“ technique allows us to create a complex mix of primary and secondary resonances from the coils. Combining “dual resonant” frequencies is an innovation which enables us to model the sound of every EMG pickup by shaping the response curve of each coil. By blending the dual resonances with the low, mid, and high frequency gain from the coils, a unique tone has been created for each EMG pickup. This means that the sound is vibrantly alive with more harmonics than is otherwise possible with conventional single resonance high impedance pickups.
Various magnetic materials are used in EMG pickups to customize the interface between the strings and coils. Common to all EMG pickups are our single or dual-pole magnetic designs, which concentrate the magnetic fi eld evenly under all the strings. The result is an improved linear output from the strings and a more consistent attack from note to note. With abundant gain available from the preamp, EMG pickups do not require increased magnetic strength for greater output. Rather, the magnetic materials are chosen to highlight the tone of the pickups. All EMG pickups use a “lo-fl ux” magnetic fi eld to promote the natural sustain and harmonics of the instrument. These design advantages allow us to utilize specialty materials and alloys in a way that gives each EMG pickup a unique character.
Dual Resonance & Lo-Flux
Each active EMG pickup has two coils and they are the basis of the pickup’s design. There are different types and sizes of magnet wire that can be used, and combining their attributes with the size and shape of the coil has a tremendous effect on the tone. The dual-coil setup is necessary for noise reduction and is a key to providing the distinctive EMG tone. The preamplifi er used inside each active EMG pickup is no ordinary preamp. Built directly into each pickup, the preamp is an integral part of the pickup design ensuring quality of sound performance, incredible noise reduction, and simplicity in
Tone Modeling / Coils / Preamp
installation. A natural byproduct of the preamp is gain. It allows us to design a pickup for its particular tone without concern for the pickup’s output. EMG pickups use “tone modeling” to manipulate the two coils. This innovation allows us to shape a mix of the reactive slope and resonance from each of the two coils. The idea is to achieve a complex mixture of each coil’s phase and frequency response resulting in a richer overall tone. After the coils are modeled, any amount of output needed is provided by the preamp.

Another benefi t from the internal preamp is noise reduction. By integrating the preamp into the housing, all the elements of the pickup can be shielded. By matching the coils to a high degree through “impedance modeling”, the low frequency hum and buzz are virtually eliminated while making the sound more vibrantly alive. In addition, each EMG is housed in a composite cover cap that eliminates all other forms of interference.
Most EMG pickup models have noise fi gures better than –85dB, still other EMG pickups achieve a noise fi gure that exceeds –100dB. The low impedance output of the EMG internal preamp provides other great features. You can run a cable for up to 100 feet (30 meters) without losing high frequency response. You’ll get the same tone with a wireless unit as you do with a cable, and the tone of your instrument will remain consistent through volume changes. Low impedance also means that not only can you plug directly into your favorite amp, you can go direct to a tape preamp (especially useful for acoustic guitar recording) or mixing console input without a direct box. EMG pickups are so quiet you don’t even need to ground the strings of the instrument!

Construction & Ease Of Installation
All models are designed for direct replacement into most standard instruments. In those instances where “direct” replacement isn’t possible, a minimum of work may be required. ible, a minimum of work may be required.

There is no other pickup built as well as an EMG. The coils are precision wound, matched both resistively and inductively and vacuum-sealed. All internal preamplifi ers use Surface Mount Technology (SMT) for quality and reliability, each pickup is tested before encapsulation and shipping. An instrument equipped with EMG active pickups require power from a single 9 Volt battery, and in fact a single battery will power as many EMG pickups and accessory circuits as you can fi t into your guitar. Power to the pickups is turned off by simply unplugging the cable from your instrument. EMG pickups are easy to install. Included with each pickup are prewired volume and tone controls, battery clip, output jack and diagrams.

The EMG X Series pickups have an exceptional open nature to theiroverall sound. This is due to a newly designed internal preamp whichallows for more gain to come from your amp and instrument, ratherthan from the preamp. The effect of this new design is to providemore headroom and overall body while still maintaining the clarityand response that EMG’s are renowned for. The lows will be rocksolid, the high-mids will shine through and the treble will be sweetand full.
If you are going for chunky low-string riffi ng or want screaming string bends in the high register, the X Series covers all techniques while retaining superior dynamics. Models available for guitar and bass feature EMG’s revolutionary (patent pending) Solderless Install System. This system puts the player in complete control by simplifying the process of installation and the upgrading of existing pickups.

There truly is no comparison between active EMG’s and conventional pickups. EMG’s frequency response is shaped much differently. Conventional pickups typically exhibit a dry “peaky” frequency response, while EMG’s have a much broader bandwidth that’s better for harmonic pull-offs and chord defi nition. Individual notes have better presence and are dynamic. Playing styles are more pronounced and different techniques can be easily accommodated.Until you’ve experienced playing an EMG equipped instrument, you’ll never know how great your playing can be. By using an integrated
preamp it’s possible to achieve better results than when designing pickups with magnets and wire alone. The internal preamp in each EMG pickup assures quality of performance, full noise reduction, simplicity of installation, and much greater output. Professionals all over the world rely on EMG for their performance in the studio and on stage. EMG’s are being used for every kind of music, from Rock & Roll to Jazz. Even the best Country artists choose EMG because they need a great performance each and every time.

ZAKK WYLDE / ZW SET
13
ZW SETUnparalleled master of his instrument; he can rip it up from low “E” to high “E” and make it back in one piece without breaking a sweat. An inspiration to every aspiring guitar player and recognized the world over, Zakk does it with soul and with his signature ZW set (81+85).
KFK SETWhen Slayer’s Kerry King cranks his rig up and his hands fl y across the fretboard, his tone is unmistakable. It is the sound of Armageddon and annihilation. He gets his aggressive crunch, overdrive and sick lead tones from the 81, 85 and the PA2 Gain Boost Switch.
ALX SETHe’s not called the Wild Child for nothing and this new signature set lives up to that title. The ALX Set is a newly created HZ passive with a custom designed ABQ EQ/Boost. With the combination of the hard driving ALX and the added versatility of the ABQ any player can dial in tone as wild as Alexi.

EMG’s family of bass pickups feature low-impedance internal preamps that deliver a crisp, clean, and even tone from your low B string to the top of the neck. EMG’s specially tailored preamp EQ circuits deliver accurate tone with incredibly wide dynamic range (over 90dB). EMG produces a wide range of models that give you exactly the sound that you want in exactly the package that you need. EMG’s P and J models are exact-size replacements
for popular Precision bass and Jazz bass pickups, so you can gain EMG’s advantages without modifying your instrument. There are even special models that support 5-string setups in the normal P and J cavities. If you play a wide-neck 5 or 6-string bass, classic pickup sizes won’t span your strings. For these instruments, EMG’s Extended Series pickups are the perfect solution.

Active Acoustic Pickups
The perfect mix of EMG technology and design come together in the ACS Acoustic Sound Hole pickup. Only an active design can deliver the kind of frequency response, output, and quiet performance needed in a sound hole pickup. The ACS employs a unique internal preamp that’s been tailored for the phase and frequency response of an acoustic guitar, enhancing the natural sweet tone of the
instrument. EMG saddle pickups use piezo fi lm in a layered format (bimorph) that has many advantages over other fi lm designs as well as piezo crystals. The layering allows a lower output impedance as well as double the output of other designs. Unlike the crystals, the fi lm has no resonance in the audible region, so it doesn’t have that annoying harshness inherent in a crystal piezo pickup.

EMG has a history of making passive pickups that dates back to 1984 when we made passive pickups for the Steinberger G Series instruments. Just by looking at the HZ pickups you can see that they’re made differently than any other passive pickup. Under EMG’s distinctive cover cap, each HZ pickup is fully shielded, vacuum sealed and encapsulated to prevent microphonics. In fact, EMG HZ
pickups are probably the quietest passive pickups available. Models featuring either pole pieces or bar magnet designs are available and each with a variety of coil designs. The HZ Series features a full line of humbucking, single coil and bass models for 4, 5 and 6-string basses. All HZ pickups feature EMG’s exclusive 5-pin Quik-Connect™ cable for easy installation.
HZ PICKUPS ARE AVAILABLE IN BLACK ONLY.
Not all products are listed. For more information and a complete list of HZ products please visit emgpickups.com. | EMG is not associated with Floyd Rose Marketing Inc.

As the fi nishing touch to our line of pickups we offer a complete range of add-on accessories. These help you dial in your EMG pickups to any number of custom sounds. Many EMG accessories will work with both passive and active guitars and basses. Some of our most popular accessories for guitar are the SPC (Presence Control)
and the EXG (Expander) as well as the AB (After Burner booster). For bass, simple control setups like the BTC (bass/treble control) require only one control spot, or you can go all the way with a BQ system that features two concentric pots with bass/treble/variable mid frequency controls and a master volume/blend control.
