The EMG-ACS is a full bandwidth pickup. For best performance it should be played through a full bandwidth system using a direct box with the
signal sent directly to the mixing board. If you use an amplifier on stage it should be full bandwidth. Results from amplifiers “tuned” for piezo
style pickups will yield poor results. Since the ACS is a magnetic pickup, you might find the best result is a simple guitar amplifier designed for
magnetic pickups. The ACS also features a volume control.

This is a very simple installation. Connectors are used throughout so soldering is not required. Once the installation is complete the EMG-ACS
can be removed and reinstalled easily. Velcro is used to attach the pickup cable out of sight when the pickup is removed.

S t r i n g c h o i c e s / P o l e p i e c e s :
The EMG-ACS features adjustable pole pieces to compensate for different choices of strings. Typically a wound G String will have a smaller core
than the B String, so the unwound B and E strings will be louder. The Pole pieces can be lowered for better string balance or they can be
removed entirely.
