Description

EMG H1-N Passive Humbucker Pickup in Gold

The EMG H1-N is a ceramic-magnet passive humbucker engineered to capture articulate, focused midrange response without active circuitry. This pickup delivers a compact, direct voice ideal for studio tracking across rock, metal, and alternative productions, with the simplicity and reliability of passive operation for straightforward signal chain integration.

Electrical Character

A DC resistance of 13.65 kOhm and inductance of 7.15 Henries yield a resonant frequency of 1.65 KHz (loaded) with impedance at resonance of 74.00 kOhm. This electrical profile produces a tight, controlled frequency response that cuts through dense mixes without excessive bloom, delivering defined articulation and note separation critical for multitrack recording and layering.

Construction & Installation

Ceramic magnets with overwound coils provide durable output and consistent performance across recording sessions. The pole piece spread of 0.388" (9.85mm) is optimized for Tune-o-matic bridge spacing, and the solderless quick-connect connector system streamlines installation without requiring desoldering or rewiring, minimizing downtime between setups.

Key Features

  • Ceramic magnets with overwound coils
  • DC Resistance: 13.65 kOhm
  • Inductance: 7.15 Henries
  • Resonant Frequency: 1.65 KHz (loaded)
  • Impedance at Resonance: 74.00 kOhm
  • Pole piece spread: 0.388" (9.85mm) for Tune-o-matic bridges
  • Quick-connect solderless connector system

At a Glance

The EMG H1-N is a passive ceramic humbucker that captures articulate, focused midrange response with controlled low end and clarity ideal for rock, metal, and alternative recording sessions. Its electrical profile—13.65 kOhm DC resistance and 1.65 kHz resonant frequency—yields a tight, defined voice that cuts through dense mixes without bloom, making it excellent for precision work and layered arrangements. The quick-connect solderless design simplifies installation, and passive operation means no power supply or active circuitry to manage in the studio.

Who This Is For

Best suited for Rock, Metal, Alternative, Precision Recording
Tonal character Tight low end, articulate midrange, controlled response, focused voice, note separation
Less specialized for Jazz, Blues (it will do it; instruments voiced for that style do it more easily)
Skill level Intermediate / Advanced / Professional

Frequently Asked Questions

What bridge type does the H1-N fit?

The H1-N is optimized for Tune-o-matic bridge spacing, with a pole piece spread of 0.388" (9.85mm) to match that standard.

Do I need to solder this pickup?

No. The H1-N uses a solderless quick-connect connector system, so installation requires no desoldering or rewiring.

Is this pickup active or passive?

The H1-N is fully passive—it uses ceramic magnets and overwound coils without any active circuitry, batteries, or power supply.

What genres and playing styles is this pickup best suited for?

The H1-N excels in rock, metal, and alternative styles where articulation, note separation, and midrange clarity matter. It is not designed for jazz or blues.

How does the H1-N compare to other humbuckers?

The H1-N sits in a similar range to the Seymour Duncan SH-1 and DiMarzio Super Distortion, offering focused, controlled response rather than the high output and compression of active designs like the EMG 81.

Do I pay sales tax on this order?

Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. Marketplaces collect sales tax as the facilitator in most states, so the same listed price can cost more there. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
