Acoustic Soundhole Design by a Pickup Powerhouse

The EMG ACS acoustic soundhole active pickup is a powerful tool for gigging acoustic players wanting to keep up with a full band. The magnetic design of the ACS is a favorite at Sweetwater for the way it greatly aids in feedback reduction. And its onboard preamp is specifically tuned to the phase and frequencies that define the character of acoustic guitars. This pickup system also carries EMG's Quik-Connect system, making installation as easy as possible. EMG's ACS soundhole acoustic pickup may be your right choice when you need to loudly play your acoustic.

  • Active soundhole pickup for acoustic guitar
  • Magnetic design helps reduce feedback at loud volumes
  • Active preamp is tuned to ideal acoustic guitar frequencies

Rated 5/5

Great choice!

Needed a good pickup for my Yamaha 12 string acoustic that wasn't under saddle, after some research and reviews I decided to make this purchase. Installation was easy, adjusting the poles for string balance was a snap. Sounds natural directly into my mixer or with my Marshall acoustic amp.

Sounds better than I expected!

This is a great pickup for acoustic. I had my doubts at first that it would make my Taylor acoustic sound like an electric guitar. I was pleasantly surprised when I installed it and plugged it in to my mixing board. It sounded almost identical to the acoustic sound coming out of the sound hole. I have tried it live a few times, and there seems to be no feedback issues. I would have given it a 5 star rating, but the batteries are a little hard to replace and only last about 12 hours, so have spares in your case.
