grounding. This greatly reduces the possibility of
reverse polarity shock from microphones and other
equipment

EMG Active Pickups have very little magnetism
compared to passive pickups. We recommend
you adjust the pickups as close to the strings as
possible. Sustain and string movement will not be
inhibited by close adjustment.
