Presentation
The EMG 85 Black Chrome is a microphone with a history. It has stood the test of time without ever losing its colour. Its character is based on Alnico V magnets that give weight and depth to every note.
It expresses itself fully on the neck, with a lovely roundness. But it still packs a punch in the bridge if you want to push the midrange. It responds well in complex settings, without saturating the message. Every attack remains legible, even in chaos.
As for assembly, there's no need for heavy tools or a soldering iron. Everything is provided: cables, pots, stereo jack, even screws. You don't have to buy anything, it's all there. And compatibility with other EMG microphones extends the playing field.
Its standard format and compact size mean there are no nasty surprises. The Black Chrome colour, discreet and striking, adds a vintage touch. For a pickup that roars as much as it whispers, the EMG 85 remains a solid reference.

Solderless installation makes the EMG 85 Black Chrome much easier to fit. It avoids the frequent errors of passive microphones. This system reduces the time and stress involved in installation.
Mixed with a passive bridge mic, the balance is created by fine adjustment. The 85 keeps its midrange warm without overpowering the other.
Its frequency response enhances delay and reverb effects. Every note gains in depth and clarity.
The attack evolves subtly between clear and saturated channels. The pickup retains its punch and precision, whatever the distortion.
