EMG M-60 Active Humbucker Pickup in Black

The M-60 delivers articulate, punchy tones with an aggressive midrange and tight low end, centered around a 2.2 kHz resonant peak that sits in the vocal midrange without harshness. Output measures 3 V on single notes and 4.5 V on strummed chords, with an exceptionally clean -101 dBV noise floor at 60 Hz, making it ideal for metal, hard rock, and studio sessions where clarity and minimal noise are critical.

The M-60 runs on a standard 9-volt battery with an impressive 3000-hour battery life, eliminating frequent replacements. Current draw is 80 mA at 9V operation, with a maximum supply rating of 27 V DC for custom preamp configurations.

The pickup comes with a complete wiring harness including a 25K volume pot, 25K tone pot, battery bus, stereo output jack, pickup in/out bus, cables, and mounting hardware—everything you need for installation.

Yes—the 10 KOhm output impedance and low-impedance performance handle long cable runs and direct amp connectivity reliably, while the 3000-hour battery life keeps the pickup running through extended tours without frequent replacements. The stainless steel construction with black epoxy casing is built for road durability.

The M-60 excels in metal, hard rock, rock, and contemporary styles where articulate midrange and tight lows are essential. It is not recommended for jazz, folk, or blues, where warmer, more vintage tone profiles are typically preferred.
