Soldering to the battery buss:
If your instrument has an older EMG Pickup you can solder the
pickup RED wire to the buss. Simply use some needle nose pliers,
pull out the V+ header and solder the RED Wire from the pickup(s)
to any of the pins and then re-insert the header into the housing.

If you want to operate your instrument at +18 Volts for more
headroom then use 2 batteries wired as below.
Also, if you are using any type of EQ in your instrument
(EMG-BT, BQ) or anything that boosts the pickup signal then
+18 Volts is recommended.

EMG Standard Battery Connectors:
EMG employs two types of battery connectors.
1) EMG Standard Battery Connector
The Standard EMG battery connector has two different terminals.
The Battery Negative (Black) is a Push-on style connector designed to
push directly onto the output jack. The Battery Positive (Red) is made
to push directly onto the Battery Buss, or onto the B157 Pickup Buss.

EMG Systems with a Battery Holder:
If your instrument has a 9 or 18-Volt battery holder and you have
an EMG Pro-Series System you can adapt the existing battery clip to
use the EMG Connector to supply power to the PC Board.
Cut and strip the wires from the battery clip provided.
Put Red to Red, Black to Black and use the shrink tubing included
to cover the connections. Soldering the wires is recommended.

2) EMG Pro-Series and S/S/S (H) Systems Battery Connector
Shown below is the Pro-Series style battery connector.
This is used because of the difficulty making a connection on the
Stratocaster style guitars. The Pro-Series 2 pin connector inserts
directly on the PC Board.
