Frequently asked questions
What's the main installation difference?
The Passive Mount installs directly into standard humbucker cavities without routing. The Active Mount is designed for guitars with EMG Phase II wiring and offers plug-and-play compatibility with existing EMG 707 humbucker systems.
Which has more output and aggression?
Both deliver aggressive tone and high output. The Passive Mount uses Alnico V magnets for warm harmonic content, while the Active Mount's specialized preamp emphasizes maximum attack clarity and sustain across all frequencies.
Are these suitable for metal and djent?
Yes, both sets are engineered specifically for metal, djent, and progressive genres. Both provide tight low-end definition, controlled dynamics, and the articulation needed to cut through dense high-gain mixes.
Do I need to choose based on my skill level?
Both are designed for intermediate to professional players. Installation difficulty depends on your guitar's cavity type, not the pickups themselves—standard routing favors Passive Mount; EMG Phase II wiring favors Active Mount.
