Seymour Duncan alt.metal Blackouts 7-String ActMt Pickup Set vs Seymour Duncan alt.metal Blackouts 7-String Passive Mount Pickup Set
The key difference is mounting type: the ActMt (active mount) integrates into guitars already wired for active electronics, while the Passive Mount comes as a complete wiring system with pots, harness, and jack included. Choose ActMt if your 7-string already has active electronics installed; choose Passive Mount if you need a full plug-and-play system or are upgrading a passive guitar.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use the ActMt in a guitar without active electronics?
No. The ActMt requires an existing active electronics cavity and wiring. The Passive Mount comes with everything needed for installation.
Does the Passive Mount include potentiometers and a wiring harness?
Yes. The Passive Mount is a complete system with pickups, pots, harness, capacitor, output jack, battery clip, and quick-connector cables.
Are the tonal characteristics different between the two?
Both deliver aggressive, articulate metal tones with tight low-end response and high-gain clarity. The primary difference is the mounting and electronics configuration, not the core tone.
Which is better for drop tunings and djent?
Both handle drop tunings and djent equally well. Choose based on your existing electronics setup, not tone—the ActMt for guitars already wired active, the Passive Mount for new builds or passive upgrades.
