Omnia JM [passive]

Omnia JM.

Experience the unaltered tone of your favorite guitar.

The Omnia is the ultimate guitar pickup with four coils and rails, made for maximum clarity, transparency, versatility and balance.

With a neodymium bar magnet in the bridge and well-matching AlNiCo8 in the neck, it offers unparalleled dynamic range and versatility for any playing style. Its advanced technology delivers hum cancelling in any wiring without compromising tone and less of a volume drop when split than conventional pickups.

Perfect for all tunings and tone shaping options. 

It's retrofit compatible with most conventional JM style pickups and covers all common 6 string spacings.

Please measure the depth of your pickup cavity.
This pickup's enclosure is 17,5mm tall and needs approx. 3mm extra space for the cable.

New: Voicing options:

The Flux variant delivers the whole dynamic range and a highly detailed frequency response for anything from clean tones, edge-of-breakup goodness and crunch, and with a little push also non-muddy high gain tone.

The Apex variant made for full-on chugs and soaring leads - these are aimed towards the knuckle draggers among us.

Some trivia for the geeks:

The base plate is a PCB with meshed ground plane to get shielding with minimal eddy current losses.

The bobbins and other internal parts are PLA printed with a precision FDM printer while the cover is SLA printed from UV and moisture resistant resin.

The blades are custom laser cut from high permeability metal which is an ideal coil core due to its electromagnetic properties as well as contributing to a balanced sound.

Neodymium as a bridge magnet was my choice due to the highest dynamic range among all magnet types I've tested so far, and AlNiCo8 presented the best match for the neck to add some warmth.

The two coil pairs in the neck pickup are wound asymmetrically - perfectly hum cancelling in any configuration, but adding a tiny bit of that tasty single coil twang to the prominent humbucker tone.
The bridge pickup is wound symmetrically for ideal thick humbucker tones.

Measurement data (yeah, we love those)

*Inductance measured at 270hz. Inductance is a more accurate indicator of output than resistance.
**Resistance measured without any periphery. This isn't directly comparable to regular dual coil humbuckers because of the four coil setup.

Including:

2x M2,5 screws and springs for mounting

a high quality shielded four conductor cable by Sommer featuring pin connectors to the pickup to fascilitate mounting without putting stress on the cable
