The Seymour Duncan Distortion Active Mount Humbucker brings high–output passive pickup design to seven–string guitars configured for active electronics. Originally developed as the SH–6, this neck position humbucker combines ceramic magnets with a 15.1k DCR resistance to produce tight low–end response and aggressive treble clarity. The active mounting configuration allows direct installation into guitars routed for battery–powered systems while maintaining fully passive circuitry.
Ceramic magnets drive the magnetic field, delivering higher output than traditional alnico designs without requiring external power. The 15.1k DCR resistance in the neck position provides substantial gain headroom across all seven strings, maintaining string–to–string balance even under heavy distortion. Four–conductor shielded cabling enables coil splitting and phase reversal options when wired to compatible switching systems. Manufactured entirely in the USA, the pickup uses proprietary winding patterns to emphasise midrange punch while controlling feedback in high–gain applications.
