These 9-volt active humbuckers deliver a less
compressed tone, with a more extended frequency
response. In Duncan's efforts to solve the
issues involved in achieving that goal, they
discovered that some of the most popular active
pickups have what they consider a design flaw
in their circuit architecture.
They use unbalanced inputs in a differential
preamp. The problem is, an unbalanced
differential preamp is not very effective at
canceling hum. Seymour Duncan engineers figured
out how to capture the tone that players want
in an active design, but using balanced
inputs.
The result is that not only do these Seymour
Duncan Blackouts active humbuckers have less
hum than the competition, but they also have
more lows, more highs, and more output. Simply
put, the Blackouts have more tone than other
active pickups. Players will notice the
benefits of the reduced hum when they record,
especially if they're around computer monitors
or fluorescent lighting. As for the benefits of
having more tone, well those will be apparent
everywhere.
Blackouts are available in individual neck and
bridge models, or as a 2-pickup set. All
versions come with all necessary mounting
hardware, including pots, jack, and a battery
clip.
