Description
Seymour Duncan RTM DeMartini Humbucker Black Pickup
The RTM DeMartini is a high-output bridge humbucker engineered to capture aggressive tones and sustain-heavy performances in the studio. This pickup delivers articulate, punchy midrange with controlled bass response, making it ideal for modern rock, metal, and high-gain recording sessions. Handcrafted in Santa Barbara, it brings professional-grade signal integrity to demanding tracking and overdub work.
Recording Tone & Output Character
With a DC resistance of 17.6 K Ohms and inductance of 8.83 Henry, this pickup produces a focused, high-output signal with a resonant peak at 4.40 KHz that emphasizes clarity and definition in the upper-midrange—essential for cutting through dense mixes during tracking and mixing. The Alnico 2 magnet provides harmonic warmth and complexity while maintaining tight articulation at high gain levels, translating to responsive recordings that sit well in heavy productions.
Studio Installation & Compatibility
Built for modern Floyd Rose equipped instruments, this pickup features 50mm standard spacing and comes with a 14" braised single conductor lead wire for straightforward wiring integration into your tracking setup. The bridge-position design integrates seamlessly into tremolo-equipped guitars without modification, allowing quick instrument swaps during sessions.
