The end results are the D Activator™ Neck and Bridge. They use coils tuned to specific frequencies. The purpose is to shift the resonant points of the pickups to the fundamentals and harmonics that you want to accentuate from the guitar, and they respond instantly to hard or light pick attack. The sound is powerful, clean, and open, with excellent harmonic overtones and very tight lows. The best way to describe the D Activator™ Neck pickup is that it is big, bright, and open sounding with surprising string - to - string balance. The D Activator™ Bridge has an enriched harmonic quality and the notes want to sing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere's a big difference between a pickup that sounds bright and one that sounds thin. A thin-sounding pickup will be brittle on the highest frets and empty-sounding in the mids and lows. The D Activator™ neck model doesn't do this - both the wound and plain strings remain tight and bright up the neck, and very well balanced. This allows the D Activator™ neck model to function well in both longer scale bolt-ons and shorter scale, set-neck guitars. It also makes for a good bridge pickup if you want a sound with a lot of snap and power. Like all passive pickups, D Activators™ require controls with a minimum value of 250Kohms. 500K is the standard all around value, and our 1Megohm tone control is best for long cable runs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRecommended For: Neck position.

This pickup is passive with a lot of headroom, and it responds quickly and accurately to changes in pick attack. A hard pick attack doesn't cause the signal to flatten out, and picking more softly or rolling the volume control down lets the sound clean up naturally. Like all passive pickups, D Activators™ require controls with a minimum value of 250Kohms. 500K is the standard all around value, and DiMarzio's 1Megohm tone control is best for long cable runs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRecommended For: Bridge position\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQuick Connect: No\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWiring: 4 Conductor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMagnet: Ceramic\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eResistance: 11.40 Kohm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYear of Introduction: 2007\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DiMarzio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42343085408335,"sku":"DP720 GN+BK","price":169.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0054\/9466\/9382\/files\/lg_1_1_813940.webp?v=1734369190"},{"product_id":"dimarzio-dp720-d-activator-7-string-bridge-pickup-white","title":"DiMarzio DP720 D Activator 7-String Bridge Pickup (White)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eActive humbuckers have a distinctive sound: powerful, clean, open-sounding, with excellent harmonic overtones and very tight lows.

The D Activator 7 models do just that. The D Activator 7 Bridge has the same loud yet clean sound as the best active humbuckers, and killer harmonics. The low B string is all about attack, not mud.
