Guitar Microphone

Designed for Steve Lukather, this SLV Ivory active single pickup from EMG pushes hard. More coiled than the SAV, it delivers a livelier, more muscular response. The flat Alnico 5 magnet reinforces the attack without generating any hiss. EMG delivers a powerful, precise and always silent version.

EMG's SLV Ivory pickup doesn't follow any rules. EMG designed it for Steve Lukather, and you can feel it from the very first note. This active single pickup rises in tension faster than expected, with a nervous character and no extraneous noise. It shares its DNA with the SAV, but the tighter winding totally alters the response: denser, more electric and more intense.

The Alnico 5 flat magnets, carefully wedged under a rigid cap, ensure a precise magnetic field. The result: clean attacks and sharp dynamics, without the slightest hiss. With a resonance frequency set at 3.33 kHz, it covers brilliant harmonics without ever saturating the space.

Pole pieces close to the strings boost the output, up to 3 V in sustained play. And thanks to EMG's solderless cabling, every component finds its place without fuss. 25k volume and tone, stereo jack, appropriate cables, 9V battery: everything fits together effortlessly.

It's aimed at those who expect a clean, fast, tension-laden sound. EMG isn't trying to please everyone here. This pickup imposes its presence and modifies the attack. It's an accessory that energises your playing.

The EMG SLV Ivory integrates well with passive microphones. Impedance differences remain controlled and without major loss.

The solderless installation encourages frequent testing of new combinations. The solid Alnico 5 magnet extends sustain significantly. Even with aggressive palm muting, the mic retains its punch and clarity.

This sonic robustness gives it great dynamics. You lose nothing in definition. Every note remains clear, even in intense passages.
