MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED STRING WIDTH 3.08" PO BOX 4394 SANTA ROSA, CA95402 USA P (707) 525-9941F (707) 575-7046 INSTALLATION INFORMATION EMG MODEL: MM5CS .125 DIA. MOUNTING HOLES SPECIFICATIONS: MODEL:
Resonant Frequency (KHz) Output Voltage (Finger, Thumb) Output Voltage (Thump) Output Noise (60 Hz) Output Impedance (Kohm) Current @9V (Microamps) Battery Life (Hours) Maximum Supply (Volts DC) *Note: C/S (Ceramic and Steel) The MM5CS Pickup is a direct replacement for the Music Man 5-String Pickup. It has an aperture of .950 Inches that yields a very high output. The Ceramic and Steel Design was chosen for milder string attack and overall mellower tone. The MM5CS will operate on 9-Volts, but It is recommended to run the MMCS with a +18 Volt Supply (2 - 9-Volt Batteries) in order to handle the signal strength, especially if you play the instrument hard (See Page 4 for 18-Volt wiring). EMG accessories like the EXB, BTC or VMC Controls can be added to further enhance your experience.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES:
1) Only one 9-Volt battery is required to power the pickups (unless otherwise recommended) and any accessories such as the EXB, EMG Pickups are shielded internally and DO NOT require string BTC, B125 Blend, and BQ Controls. grounding.
