EMG EMG-707 User Manual

All EMG Pickups and accessories are warranted for a period of two years. This warranty
does not cover failure due to improper installation, abuse or damage. If upon examination the
pickup is determined to be defective, a replacement will be made at no charge. Warranty
replacement products are covered by this same warranty. This warranty covers only those
pickups and accessories sold by authorized EMG Dealers. This warranty is not transferable.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES:
1) Only one battery is required per instrument. EMG Accessories such as
the SPC, RPC EXG, Pi2, PA2, etc. do not require an additional battery.
2) Use an alkaline battery, Duracell MN1604 or similar, for longest life.
3) The controls included with EMG Systems are 25K Ohm, audio taper.
25K Ohm controls are required for the system to work correctly.
4) When installing EMG Pickups, DO NOT reconnect the bridge ground
wire. This wire is soldered to a volume or tone control casing and goes
to the bridge or vibrato cavity. It grounds the strings and uses them and
your body as a shield against hum and buzz. It also creates a shock
hazard. EMG Pickups are shielded internally and do not require string
grounding. This greatly reduces the possibility of reverse polarity shock
from microphones and the like.
5) EMG Pickups have very little magnetism compared to high-impedance
passive pickups. We recommend you adjust the pickups as close to
the strings as possible. Sustain and string movement will not be
inhibited by close adjustment.
6) If your installation is different from the diagrams in these instructions
and you need additional diagrams, contact us by phone, fax, or e-mail.
It is highly possible another EMG Installation Sheet will have the
diagram you require. Additional diagrams are available at
http://www.emgpickups.com.
7) The magnetic length of the 707 is 2.9 inches. The maximum string
width should be under 2.75 inches. Most 7 -string guitars have an
overall string width of less than 2.5 inches at the bridge pickup with
Floyd Rose string spacing.

Summary

EMG 707 Specifications

Logo Color

Specifies the available color options for the EMG logo on the pickup.

Resonant Frequency

Indicates the resonant frequency of the pickup in kilohertz.

Output Voltage

Details the output voltage levels produced by the pickup when strings are plucked or strummed.

Output Noise

Specifies the output noise level at 60Hz for the pickup.

Output Impedance

Defines the output impedance of the pickup in kilo-ohms.

Current Draw and Battery Life

Provides information on current draw at 9V and estimated battery life in hours.

Maximum Supply Voltage

Specifies the maximum supply voltage in DC volts the pickup can handle.

Magnet Type

Describes the type of magnet used, such as Alnico or Ceramic.

Important Installation Notes

Battery Requirement

Only one battery is required per instrument; accessories do not need additional batteries.

Recommended Battery

Use an alkaline battery, such as Duracell MN1604, for the longest operational life.

Control Specifications

EMG systems use 25K Ohm audio taper controls, which are required for correct operation.

Bridge Ground Wire

Do not reconnect the bridge ground wire as EMG pickups are internally shielded.

Pickup Adjustment

Adjust pickups as close to strings as possible; magnetism is low, and sustain is unaffected.

Additional Diagrams

Contact EMG for installation diagrams if your setup differs from provided illustrations.

String Width Compatibility

Maximum string width should be under 2.75 inches for optimal performance.

Installation Steps

Disconnect Existing Pickup

Remove the existing pickup and its associated volume and tone controls from the instrument.

Mount New Pickup and Controls

Install the EMG pickup in the mounting ring, connect the quick connect cable, and route it.

Solder Pickup Connections

Solder the pickup's braid to the volume pot casing and the hot wire to the pot terminal.

Replace Output Jack

Install the supplied EMG jack and solder the output wire from the volume pot to it.

Connect Battery

Solder the pickup's red wire to the red wire of the battery clip and secure the battery.

Test Instrument

Test the instrument before closing the cavity by tapping the pickup while amplified.

Warranty Information

Two-Year Limited Warranty

EMG pickups and accessories are warranted for two years against defects.

Warranty Exclusions

Warranty does not cover damage from improper installation, abuse, or accidents.

Warranty Transferability

This warranty is valid only for products sold by authorized EMG Dealers and is not transferable.
