We know that quitarists who love active pickups want a tone that's less compressed, with a more extended frequency response, and super quiet. By using balanced inputs, Blackouts have around 14 dB less hum than the competition. You'll immediately notice the benefits of the reduced hum when you record, especially if you're around computer monitors, power transformers, or flourescent lighting.
