Guitar Microphone

A Dual Mode active microphone, the EMG 89X combines the warmth of an EMG 85-style humbucker with the brilliance of a single coil similar to the EMG SA. Its X Series preamp produces more dynamics and better headroom. Placed on the neck or bridge, it adapts to all styles. A precise, quiet, nuanced sound with a vintage edge!

ARTICLE N° 109081
The EMG 89X is an active microphone that lets you switch between two different sounds thanks to its Dual Mode system.

In humbucker mode, it delivers a warm, balanced sound with deep bass and precise treble, making it ideal for rock, metal and blues rhythms. When you activate the single coil mode via push/pull, the sound becomes clearer and more ethereal, ideal for arpeggios, funk or jazz.

This pickup is equipped with an X Series preamp that improves dynamics and increases the frequency range, while maintaining good separation between the strings. With its Alnico V magnets, it produces a natural sound, without the compression typical of conventional active pickups.

The EMG 89X is easy to install on a 6-string guitar, in neck or bridge position, and thanks to its solderless system, fitting is quick and secure.

This pickup is for guitarists who want to switch easily between a powerful sound and a more subtle one, without changing instruments!

It's a great choice for musicians who play a wide range of styles, from hard rock to jazz and funk.
