Description
Think of the H4 as the 81’s passive sibling — same bar-magnet-loaded dual-coil design, same aggressive attitude, just without the active electronics. It’s part of EMG’s HZ series, engineered for players who want that unmistakable modern high-gain bite but prefer to keep things simple with a passive circuit.
- Dual bar magnets for a punchy, cutting attack that holds up under heavy gain
- Fully shielded construction to keep hum and noise to a minimum
- EMG’s 5-wire quik-connect output, so you can wire it for full humbucker, coil-split, series/parallel, or whatever combination your rig calls for
Because it’s passive, the H4 slots easily into existing guitar wiring without needing a battery compartment or extra routing — a solid upgrade path if you’re chasing that EMG-style aggression but want to stay off active electronics. For best noise rejection, EMG recommends pairing it with string grounding.
Whether you’re pushing metal-leaning riffs or just want more output and clarity than a stock humbucker delivers, the H4 gives you that “balls to the walls” tone EMG is known for, in a straightforward passive package.
