Description
EMG T System Active Prewired Pickup Set in Ivory
The EMG T System is a complete, ready-to-install active pickup solution engineered for recording and studio work where consistent output, minimal noise, and instant reliability matter. This ivory finish set combines Alnico V single-coil performance with EMG's proven active circuit, offering plug-and-play installation that eliminates soldering entirely—getting you from unboxing to first track in minutes.
Active Electronics & Studio-Ready Output
The system generates 1.00V per string and 3.00V on full strum, with an exceptionally low noise floor of -101 dB at 60 Hz—critical for clean recording chains and transparent interface capture. At just 160 microamps draw at 9V, battery life reaches 1500 hours—roughly nine months of regular use on a single cell, ensuring stable performance across long sessions. The 10 Kohm output impedance ensures clean, predictable signal transfer to any preamp, audio interface, or mixing console, while the 27 Volts DC maximum supply allows stacking multiple 9V batteries for extended headroom and dynamic range in the mix.
Installation & Complete Hardware Package
Every component needed for installation arrives ready to connect: completely solderless architecture means no soldering iron required, just two-wire plus battery connectivity. The package includes a 25k volume pot, 25k tone pot, stereo output jack, 3-way selector switch, plus dedicated pickup cables, connect cables, output cable, and battery cable—no hunting for parts or compatibility workarounds. Mount the pickups, connect the harness, plug in the battery, and begin recording.

What output level does this deliver to an amp or interface?
The pickups generate 1.00V per string and 3.00V on full strum with a 10 Kohm output impedance, ensuring clean signal transfer to any amplifier or recording interface. The ultra-low noise floor is -101 dB at 60 Hz.
Is this set good for blues or traditional jazz?
This system is optimized for articulate, controlled tone with high output and tight midrange—best suited for home recording, practice, and studio sessions. It is not recommended for traditional jazz or blues playing styles.
What comes in the box?
The complete package includes the pickup set in ivory finish, 25k volume pot, 25k tone pot, stereo output jack, 3-way selector switch, pickup cables, connect cables, output cable, battery cable, and all hardware needed for installation.
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. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $16 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states.
