Installation notes:

 

EMG-X Series Pickups are compatible with all EMG Active Pickups. They use the  connector system for easy installation, avoiding the need to solder. 

Older EMG Pickups may need to be soldered, while the newer systems can be easily connected and modified. The X-Series Active Tone Control (VLPF) 

is compatible with older EMG Pickups and can be used in place of the passive tone control used with other EMG Active Pickups. 

EMG accessories like the EXG, SPC or RPC Controls can be added to any EMG Pickup System without the need for an extra battery.  When using a

selection switch, refer to the included B157 Pickup Buss Instructions for a detailed explanation of the Buss.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES:

 

1) Only one 9-Volt battery is required to power the pickups and any

     accessories such as the SPC, RPC, EXG, AB, PA-2, and Pi-2. 

     Use an Alkaline or Lithium battery for longest life.  

2) The Volume Control included with the EMG-X System is 25K Ohm.

     This value is required for the system to work correctly.           

  

3) A stereo output jack (12B) is included with the EMG-X Pickups; 

     it grounds the black battery wire to turn on the pickups when

     the plug is inserted into the jack. If you are replacing passive

     pickups, make sure to use the jack included. If your guitar has a

     long panel jack (see Page 2, bottom),  make sure it is a stereo

     type, a Switchcraft 152B is recommended.

 4) When installing any EMG-X Active Pickup, DO NOT connect the

      bridge ground wire. This wire is usually soldered to a volume or

     tone control casing and goes to the bridge. This wire grounds the

     strings and uses them and your body as a shield against hum and

     buzz. It also creates a shock hazard.

     

   

  EMG Pickups are shielded internally and DO NOT require string        

     grounding. This greatly reduces the possibility of reverse 

     polarity shock from microphones and other equipment.  

5) EMG-X Active Pickups have very little magnetism compared to 

     passive pickups. We recommend you adjust the pickups as 

     close to the strings as possible. Sustain and string movement 

     will not be inhibited by close adjustment. 

 

6) If your installation is different from the diagrams in these 

     instructions or you need additional diagrams visit our website: 

     emgpickups.com for a complete listing of available diagrams.
