EMG H1-N Passive Humbucker Pickup in Black
The EMG H1-N is a ceramic-magnet neck humbucker engineered for recording and mix work that demands articulate, controlled output without active electronics. Its overwound coils and medium-high output deliver presence and definition, making it an excellent choice for tracking classic rock, blues, and vintage-leaning sessions where passive tone shaping and natural harmonic content matter.
Tone & Recording Character
With a DC resistance of 13.65 kOhm and inductance of 7.15 Henries, this pickup produces a medium-high output that sits comfortably in recording chains and console inputs without overwhelming preamps or saturation stages. The noiseless design eliminates hum during tracking and overdubs, while the ceramic magnet imparts warmth and natural sustain that translates clearly to tape and digital recording—typical of traditional humbucker voicing.
Integration & Studio Setup
The black cover provides both aesthetic consistency and shielding for clean recording. Installation integrates seamlessly into your session instrument with included mounting screws and springs, and the quick-connect cable system streamlines rewiring between takes or instruments—the package includes a pickup cable, two connect cables, output cable, and ground cable for complete connectivity without downtime.
