Unmute cramique two conductors (not and split, except possibly with a manip be shown on the site EMG) which is well trs bridge, clear sound quite cold compared to the EMG 85 (normal, latter is AlNiCo5) but nice anyway!
These microphones are active, so no noise in sight, unless you rotten with jacks in your string effects, if you have a naturally pramp blowing, etc..

A default of warm personality almost palpable as the 85, 81 is the b'en own prcis, and harmonics come out super easy, it has everything a coronation of the same dynamics and pr presence.

ATTENTION If you want to install you even. The EMG have really Carrs angles, unlike Duncan, DiMarzio, etc., with rounded corners. The installation of an EMG, can then expand the ncessiter dfonces pickups on your guitar, violin not work forcment the door of everyone.

A luthier and worthy of the name makes you complte installation kit (cblage + violin) for cheap! GNER is not as much as plutt do anything with his guitar.

And thank you Rowerfox who convinced me to take the plunge (again the old beliefs and attitudes about active pickups, its cold, lack of versatility, battery discharge to a phobia).

Moreover, cells are given for close to 2,000 hours. A condition of well thought unplug the guitar when not playing!
Addition of 30/03/2004: The EMG respect the basic sound, the acoustic sound of the guitar ... I had forgotten to point out, thinking it was a natural cell.
It Yadji standard diffrence between my scratch teams in EMG: my Jackson DR2, poplar, has a darker sound and more dug in my mdiums Jackson SLSMG mahogany!
And my Les Paul is still very low load, but cel contrlable remains with the 500T in SERIES.
A rglage same on my amp, its a jai diffrent between each of these guitars.
Those damn microphones are not transparent, but they really respect the sound of each guitar!
