Guitar Microphone

EMG's SLV Black microphone takes intensity a step further. Developed with Steve Lukather, it reacts quickly, with flat Alnico 5 magnets placed under the bonnet. Less noise, more presence. A stable, clean, fluctuation-free electromagnetic pulse. With this model, EMG stays true to its legendary precision.

ARTICLE N° 108189
EMG's SLV Black is a pickup for players who want to speed up signal transmission. EMG has developed this active pickup to meet the constant strain of modern gaming. The design is based on reliable electromagnetic data: flat Alnico 5 under cap, dense winding, tightened pole.

With an output impedance of 10 kΩ, this model is resistant to signal loss. Its magnetic field remains concentrated, ensuring a peak output at 3 V under rhythmic drive. The resonant frequency, at 3.33 kHz, creates a clear architecture for reactive mid-range frequencies.

Installation is simple, thanks to the EMG solderless system. You get everything: battery cable, power bus, 25k potentiometers, mounting screws, input and output cables. Even the 80 µA current consumption extends battery life to 3000 hours.

This model doesn't colour. It transmits. Every string, every attack and every nuance! Steve Lukather has adopted it for its consistency. It maintains its tension. It follows the rules of the circuit, not those of comfort. It's an extension of movement: direct, fast and without unnecessary filters. It's physics applied to sound.

The EMG SLV Black is a pickup that preserves every nuance in dense double-tracking. Pick attacks remain clean, even when superimposed. The stronger attack balances chords in solo melodies.

With a Timmy or a King of Tone, the sound breathes. Nothing saturates prematurely or crushes under the gain. A well-adjusted delay is enough to remind you of the Lukather grain. Clarity, punch and control remain constant, even when playing hard.
