EMG P6X 6-String Active Bass Pickup in Red

EMG P6X 6-String Active Bass Pickup in Red

The EMG P6X is a high-output active pickup engineered for six-string bass players who demand clarity, punch, and responsive dynamics across all frequencies. This ceramic-magnet design delivers articulate note definition and aggressive presence without sacrificing low-end extension, making it the choice for modern bass rigs that need to cut through dense mixes on stage and in the studio.

Tone & Output Characteristics

The P6X produces a punchy 2.00V string output with an exceptional 8.50V thump output, giving you both articulate note attack and muscular low-frequency response that sits solid in a live mix. A resonant frequency of 2.61 kHz emphasizes midrange clarity and presence, while the active circuit maintains extremely low output noise at −101 dBV, ensuring clean signal integrity from your bass to amplifier without hum or degradation.

Electronics & Integration

This active system runs on a single 9V battery with an impressive 3000-hour battery life and draws only 80 microamps at 9V, so you can rely on consistent output through long gigs and rehearsals without constant battery swaps. The included electronics package—25k volume pot, 25k active tone pot with VLPF (variable low-pass filter), battery bus, stereo output jack, and connecting cables—provides everything needed for a complete active bass circuit, while the 2.00 kΩ output impedance and 27V DC maximum supply rating ensure stable operation with any standard bass preamp or amplifier.
