EMG T System Active Prewired Pickup Set in White

EMG T System Active Prewired Pickup Set in White

The EMG T System captures articulate, controlled single-coil character with transparent clarity and extended frequency response—ideal for recording sessions where noise-free operation and consistent output are essential. This active pickup set eliminates the typical hum floor of passive single-coils, delivering clean tracks ready for mixing without requiring extensive noise gate automation or post-processing.

Active Electronics & Recording Clarity

Active Alnico V magnets and a solderless 2-wire connection simplify studio setup and eliminate potential grounding issues from complex wiring. The 9V battery runs for approximately 1500 hours between changes, ensuring uninterrupted session work. Output measures 1.00V per string and 3.00V under full strum, with an exceptionally low noise floor of -101 dB at 60 Hz—critical for capturing pristine recordings and maintaining headroom through your signal chain.

Frequency Response & Mix-Ready Tone

Dual resonant frequencies at 4.50 kHz and 3.50 kHz establish a focused midrange presence while maintaining clarity across the spectrum, helping the instrument cut through dense mixes without aggressive EQ. The covered design contributes to a controlled, less-bright character that sits naturally in the mix, with 10 kΩ output impedance ensuring transparent coupling with audio interfaces, preamps, and effects processors.
