[rdndnr]

Hi ;
i upgraded to 27volt my emg setup , then the preamp is burning.

i've incdble deep voice and its not work to active .

how can i fix the problem ?

[David King]

Emg should be fine at 27Vdc. How can you tell the preamp is burning up?
Did you get the polarity right and not send supply into the output lead?

[David Schwab]

It's not necessary. 18V is all you will ever need. EMG advise against running them on 27 volts. That's the maximum power rating.

Can I use multiple batteries?

Yes. If you've got room for multiple batteries in your guitar, you can use two batteries wired in series to power your onboard circuitry at 18 volts. The output level will not appreciably increase, but you'll have increased headroom and crisper transients. This is especially useful for percussive/slap bass styles where you can generate enormous instantaneous power levels across the entire frequency spectrum. You can also wire two batteries in parallel to provide a regular 9 volt supply but with much longer lifespan between battery changes.
Although most of our products are rated for 27 volts, we recommend a maximum of 18 volts. The additional benefits of 27 vs. 18 volts are negligible."
