Description
EMG TX System Active Prewired Pickup Set in Red
The EMG TX System delivers a completely solderless installation experience designed for Telecaster recording rigs that demand professional active electronics without the wiring burden. This Alnico V-equipped set combines classic single-coil character with modern convenience, requiring only cable connections and a 9-volt battery to capture studio-quality tones. The red finish provides visual distinction while the included control plate and components form a turnkey solution for rapid deployment into any tracking setup.
Electronics & Tone
Built on Alnico V magnets with custom-engineered coils and windings paired to an X preamp, this set generates transparent, articulate output across its frequency range with predictable session-to-session consistency. Output specifications include 1.00V string response and 3.00V strum response, with exceptionally low noise at -101 dB (60 Hz) and an output impedance of 10 kΩ, ensuring clean, direct signal transmission to your interface or mixing console.
Installation & Power
Zero soldering required—the system connects via simple cable runs using the included pickup cables, connect cables, output cable, and battery cable, minimizing setup time and integration errors in the studio. A single 9-volt battery powers the preamp, delivering approximately 1,500 hours of continuous operation and supporting input voltage up to 27V DC, which allows for optional higher-voltage supplies if needed for extended tracking sessions.
