The M1 Active takes the M1 pickup to a new level of performance and
convenience. The built-in all class A electronics eliminate the need for
any external preamps and makes the M1 Active compatible with any
outboard equipment. And the new volume control gives you fingertip
access in any performing situation.

THE M1 EXPOSED
The M1 is a humbucking pickup -- with a
twist. In a common stacked humbucker, the second, lower coil cancels
hum, but doesn't contribute anything positive to the sound. In fact, it
can muddy the sound of the main coil. We unlock the second coil. This
allows it to make a positive sonic contribution while maintaining the
pure open sound of a single coil -- but without the hum.
TRIAXIAL DYNAMIC TECHNOLOGY EXPLAINED
In the M1, the hum-canceling coil is
suspended under the main coil by a tuned support that allows it to move
in three dimensions. The primary coil moves with the guitar top and
creates a body signal in the suspended secondary coil. This brings the
M1 to life, with string and body sound all in one. It's like having a
dual pickup system in your soundhole.
We've carefully tuned the support to control
motion in all three dimensions. This allows us to selectively add the
presence and realism from the body signal while suppressing runaway
feedback.
