If your instrument has a 9 or 18 Volt battery holder you can still
use the EMG Connectors to supply power to the pickups.
Simply cut and strip the wires from the battery clip provided.
Twist the wires together (Red to Red and Black to Black) and
use the shrink tubing included to cover the connections.
Soldering the wires is recommended.

+18 Volt Wiring Option:
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.
Solder the Black and Red
wires together and cover
the connection with shrink
tubing, or other insulation.
