Description
EMG SA/SA/SA with SPC/EXG Active Single Coil Pickup Set in Ivory
The EMG SA pickup set captures articulate, noise-free single-coil character with the reliability of active electronics for clean recording sessions. This three-pickup configuration with SPC and EXG control modules enables extensive tonal shaping across bridge, middle, and neck positions—eliminating hum and noise floor issues that complicate tracking and mixing, while maintaining the transparent single-coil response that sits naturally in a mix.
Electrical Performance & Recording Clarity
Each SA pickup produces a 3.00V output on strum and 1.00V per string, yielding a balanced, articulate signal with exceptional -101 dB noise floor that translates to clean, usable recordings without unwanted noise that requires gating or heavy processing. The active circuit runs efficiently at 80 microamps @ 9V, delivering 3000 hours of battery life per 9V cell and supporting up to 27V DC maximum supply for extended dynamic headroom during demanding sessions.
Design & Technical Specifications
Alnico magnets and a 3.70 kHz resonant frequency define the SA's classic single-coil response with modern noise rejection, ensuring your recordings capture the character and definition you're seeking without phase issues or high-frequency artifacts. The 10 kOhm output impedance ensures transparent integration with standard recording interfaces, preamps, and effects chains in your workflow.

Reviews
At a Glance
This active single-coil pickup set captures articulate, noise-free recordings with the classic single-coil character producers expect, but without the 60-cycle hum that complicates mixing. The 3.00V output and 10 kOhm impedance integrate transparently into any recording chain, while the SPC and EXG modules let you shape tone across bridge, middle, and neck positions to fit your session mix perfectly. Ideal for pop and rock tracking where clarity and consistency matter.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in this pickup set?
You get three active single-coil pickups (bridge, middle, neck positions), plus the SPC and EXG control modules for tonal shaping. The set ships in ivory finish and runs on a single 9V battery.
Will this eliminate hum and noise in my recordings or live signal?
Yes—the active circuit delivers a -101 dB noise floor, which is significantly quieter than passive single-coil designs. This makes the SA set ideal for clean studio recording and live performance where a quiet signal chain is essential.
How long will the battery last?
You get approximately 3000 hours of battery life per 9V cell at the standard 80 microamp draw. That's roughly 4 months of continuous use, or a full touring season of regular gigging on a single battery.
Is this pickup set suitable for metal or heavy rock?
No—these pickups are optimized for pop and rock styles where articulate, noise-free clarity is the priority. Metal and thrash players typically need higher-output pickups designed for saturation and aggression.
How does the output compare to passive single coils?
The SA produces 3.00V output on strum and 1.00V per string with a balanced, articulate signal. This active output is consistently hotter and cleaner than passive designs, with far better noise rejection.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
We collect sales tax only on orders shipped to California. Orders shipped to any other US state are charged $0 sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. On this item that is roughly $24 less out the door than the same listed price at a national retailer or on a marketplace.
