General Notes:
Every attempt has been made to make this a solderless installation.
There are some instances where this is not possible;
1) If your instrument uses the long panel output jack and you had passive pickups
you will need a new stereo output jack, the Switchcraft 152B is recommended.
Soldering to the new jack will be required, see page 4.
2) Power Supply tips are on page 4. If your instrument has a battery holder,
you are installing this pickup with an older EMG, or you want to supply your
instrument with +18 Volts, see page 4 for tips to avoid soldering.
If you are installing only one pickup use the instructions on this page.
If you are installing two pickups go to page 3 and begin there.
Installation (One Pickup Guitars):
1) Plug the pickup cable onto the EMG Pickup header as shown
in Diagram #1 and route the cable to the control cavity.
If the cable is too long, wind up the excess and keep it
under the pickup if possible.
Master Volume control only
2) Refer to Diagram #2. Plug both the Pickup cable and the
output cable onto the Volume control as shown,
then go to step 4.
Master Volume and Active Tone control
3) Refer to Diagram #3.
Install the VLPF Active Tone included with the X Series Pickup.
Plug a coax cable from the Volume control to the Active
Tone Control. (Note the reversed connnector on pins 1 and 2).
Insert the output cable onto the Tone control as shown
(Pins 3 and 4).
4) Connect the output wires to the output jack by pushing
the connectors onto the jack as shown.
WHITE wire to the TIP (T) contact,
BLACK wire to the SLEEVE (S) contact
BLACK Battery Negative wire to the RING (R) contact.
5) Using the battery buss, insert the RED wire of the pickup,
the battery RED wire, and the RED wire from the VLPF onto
any of the pins. Extra pins can be used for EMG Accessories.
6) Put the battery in the insulating foam piece provided
and place it securely in the control cavity.
We suggest that you plug in the instrument and
test it before closing the control cavity.
