Passive Installations:
The HZ Pickups will work with either 250K Ohm or 500K Ohm pots (Audio Taper)
and a tone capacitor value of .047 microfarad. 500K Ohm pots provide a slight
up-shift of resonant frequency and approx. 3dB more gain at resonance and are
recommended for Dual-Coil Pickups.
A note about string grounding:
Although the EMG-HZ Pickups are shielded, they still require string grounding,
especially the A(Alnico) models. String grounding uses your body as a shield to
help in reducing hum and buzz from the pickup. It also can create a shock hazard
due to mis-matched polarities. Be sure to make sure your guitar is electrically in
phase with any microphones as well as other players instruments.
Wiring Legend:
The legend for the coils and wire colors are shown on the bottom of the pickup.
