EMG - ACB 4/6 Banjo

The EMG ACB 4/6 listens to your banjo like a sound engineer's ear. It's designed to do just that. It combines two technologies: Alnico coils that capture the movement of the strings, and an adhesive strip that picks up the slightest tremor in the skin. This combination reproduces the complexity of your playing, from deep bass to high-pitched slaps, without ever betraying the acoustic soul of the instrument.

The integrated preamp is so discreet that you forget it's there. No hiss, no hum - just the raw sound of your banjo, amplified with honesty. Plugged in, it instantly delivers a strong, clean signal, ready for the mixing console or audio interface. Installation is intuitive, with no soldering, colour-coded cables and well thought-out screws and bolts.

You adjust the acoustic personality with the acoustic plugs supplied. Tighten for more bite, loosen to soften the attack. The three internal chambers work like a small on-board equalisation studio. You can sculpt the timbre to suit the venue, the style or the mood!

On stage, it keeps its promise. Stable and feedback-resistant, it runs for over 600 hours on just two lithium batteries. In the studio, it captures details that external microphones can't: the friction of fingers, the resonance of wood, the energy of each note.

Included: Allen key, battery holder, sensing strip and all mounting accessories. All in a minimalist case weighing less than 100 grams. For the banjoist who refuses to compromise, this pickup is the obvious choice.
