Product Information
Specifications
- Model: Humbucker Pickup HUM-4B6
- Wiring: Braided, (5) five-conductor
- Features: Fully wax potted to eliminate microphonic feedback, hum-canceling, designed for neck and bridge positions
- Output: 10.4Kohm (5.2 & 5.2) with ceramic magnet
Product Usage Instructions – Humbucker Pickup HUM-4B6:
- Coil Splitting: Coil-splitting is a wiring option that shuts off one coil, resulting in a single-coil Strat-like tone. Refer to the provided diagram for switching from series to split mode.
- Out of Phase Wiring (only for one coil): Out of Phase wiring involves electrically linking the coil by the sdp switch. This results in a reversal of signal polarity when swapping cables of a coil, typically canceling low frequencies and producinga thin, nasal sounding tone.

COIL SPLITTING
Coil-splitting is a wiring option that “shuts off” one coil, resulting in a
single-coil Strat-like tone.
To switch from series to split, use the diagram below (hum-canceling will be
lost when you switch to split mode).
OUT OF PHASE WIRING ( only for one coil )
- Out of Phase wiring is the electrical linking the coil by the sdp switch.
- The signal polarity will reverse when will swapping cables of a coil.
- Usually the low frequencies are canceled and the result is a thin and nasal sounding tone.
