Description
EMG P60A Active P90-Size Humbucker Pickup in White
The EMG P60A delivers a focused, articulate voice that cuts through dense mixes without sacrificing warmth. This active P90-style humbucker combines the compact footprint of a P90 with EMG's refined 60A design, making it equally effective in bridge or neck position for tracking, overdubs, and layering across a diverse range of tunings and instruments.
Studio Recording & Tone Character
Powered by Alnico magnets and engineered with close aperture coils, the P60A produces a balanced, controlled output with minimal noise—-100 dB at 60 Hz—essential for recording sessions where clean signal integrity and stacking multiple takes matter. The 1.80 kHz resonant frequency sits in the sweet spot between aggressive definition and musical sustain, translating to recordings that retain clarity in full mixes without losing character.
Active Electronics & Setup
This active pickup ships complete with a solderless wiring system that includes 25K volume and tone potentiometers, battery bus connectors, stereo output jack, and two-pickup switching capability. The integrated electronics run for approximately 3,000 hours on a standard 9V battery, allowing extended session work without mid-project replacement concerns, and installation requires no soldering when using the provided components.
