Description
EMG 60-7H 7-String Active Humbucker Pickup in Chrome
The EMG 60-7H captures articulate, controlled aggression built specifically for extended-range instruments. This active humbucker pairs tight low-end definition with responsive midrange clarity, translating to focused tracking and mix-ready punch across metal, progressive, and djent sessions. The chrome finish adds visual contrast and durability to any instrument aesthetic.
Tone & Output Characteristics
With a resonant frequency of 2.95 kHz and 1.0V RMS output, this pickup delivers focused, articulate response without the mud common to passive designs. The 3.0V peak output voltage and -89 dBV noise floor ensure clean signal transmission to your interface and DAW, even at extreme gain settings—critical for precision tracking on seven-string applications where clarity under compression matters.
Electronics & Installation
Active circuitry draws just 80 microamps at 9V, yielding approximately 3000 hours of battery life per cell, meaning reliable performance across multi-day sessions without battery swaps. The package includes EMG's Solderless Install System with integrated 25k volume and tone potentiometers, battery bus, stereo output jack, and all necessary hardware—streamlining setup and enabling quick instrument changes during recording or demo sessions.
