Description
EMG T Active Single Coil Pickup Set in Black
The EMG T Set is a complete, ready-to-install solution for gigging musicians who need single-coil articulation with rock-solid reliability on stage. Active electronics eliminate hum and noise while keeping your signal clean through any venue's electrical environment. The solderless design and included potentiometers, switches, and cables get you playing faster—no tech work required.
Live Tone & Signal Integrity
Alnico magnets tuned to a 4.85 kHz resonant frequency deliver tight, responsive tones with excellent note separation—exactly what cuts through a live mix. Active circuitry outputs 3V on strum and 1V on single notes, with a –101 dB noise floor at 60 Hz that keeps hum out of your signal whether you're in a clean studio or a basement venue with questionable wiring.
Road-Ready Power & Compatibility
Runs on a standard 9V battery with 1500-hour battery life and minimal 160 µA current draw—you'll get through gigs without worrying about power. 10 kohm output impedance and 27V DC maximum supply rating mean this system plays nice with every amp, processor, and pedalboard setup you'll encounter, with plenty of headroom for high-gain rigs.
