EMG Pickups Catalog 2010 PDF
EMG Pickups Catalog 2010 PDF
The original concept and intent in designing the first EMG’s was to create a pickup that
translated an instrument’s tone more realistically with improved characteristics; making
the instrument play and sound more musical. We’ve created a line of pickups that speaks to
what musicians in the real world are asking for: versatility, reliability, responsiveness, and
great all around tone. There truly is no comparison between EMG’s and other conventional
pickups on the market today. EMG’s have a much broader frequency response that’s better
for capturing harmonics, chord definition, individual notes, and overall dynamics. We never
forget that a pickup is a product of a good design recipe which directly affects the type of
music you play and how you play it. Included here are some of the elements of our design
considerations which ultimately influence the final result.
The first choice in pickup design is the string interface. The selection 81TW
of a bar magnet or individual pole pieces is an important one. All initial
EMG designs used a bar magnet for two reasons. First, pole pieces
place too much magnetism under the strings and cause lower ones
to go “out of pitch”, with a Doppler effect, and second, pole pieces
can also make intonation and tuning difficult. Designs featuring a
bar magnet have a much more linear (balanced) output from string
to string. Their attack is less pronounced than the pole piece design
resulting in smoother distortion, less fade on string bending, and
much better sustain.
By relying on the internal preamp for gain, the bar magnet can be
smaller, further limiting the magnetic “pull” on the strings. The
inherent qualities of a bar magnet allow a continuous magnetic field
that allows for any string spacing which is perfect for use with any
multi-stringed instrument. On the other hand, if you prefer pole
pieces, there is an EMG model to meet your needs. Pole pieces impart
a much more percussive attack giving the pickup more of an “organic”
sound. Depending on the model, steel pole pieces (either bar or
screw/stud), can be coupled with alnico or ceramic magnets, each
combination having individual characteristics that affect the attack,
output, frequency response and ultimately the tone of the pickup.

of sound performance, incredible noise reduction, and simplicity in
The most important aspect governing the tone of any pickup is BTC
its resonant frequency. EMG’s exclusive “impedance modeling“
technique allows us to create a complex mix of primary and secondary
resonances from the coils. Combining “dual resonant” frequencies
is an innovation which enables us to model the sound of every EMG PJX Set
pickup by shaping the response curve of each coil. By blending the
dual resonances with the low, mid, and high frequency gain from
the coils, a unique tone has been created for each EMG pickup.
This means that the sound is vibrantly alive with more harmonics
than is otherwise possible with conventional single resonance high
impedance pickups.

Noise Reduction & Low Impedance
Most EMG pickup models have noise figures better than –85dB, still
other EMG pickups achieve a noise figure that exceeds –100dB. The
low impedance output of the EMG internal preamp provides other
great features. You can run a cable for up to 100 feet (30 meters)
without losing high frequency response. You’ll get the same tone
with a wireless unit as you do with a cable, and the tone of your
instrument will remain consistent through volume changes. Low
impedance also means that not only can you plug directly into your
favorite amp, you can go direct to a tape preamp (especially useful
for acoustic guitar recording) or mixing console input without a
direct box. EMG pickups are so quiet you don’t even need to ground
the strings of the instrument!
There is no other pickup built as well as an EMG. The coils are All models are designed for direct replacement into most standard

vacuum-sealed. All internal preamplifiers use Surface Mount possible,
ible, a minimum of work may be required.
Technology (SMT) for quality and reliability, each pickup is tested
before encapsulation and shipping. An instrument equipped with
EMG active pickups require power from a single 9 Volt battery, and in
fact a single battery will power as many EMG pickups and accessory
circuits as you can fit into your guitar. Power to the pickups is
turned off by simply unplugging the cable from your instrument. EMG
pickups are easy to install. Included with each pickup are prewired
volume and tone controls, battery clip, output jack and diagrams.
