Noiseless Single Coils

As already mentioned, the main problem of single coil pickups is they tend to produce unwanted noises. The hum produced in single coils tend to be caused by the magnetic fields of electrical equipment. They also suffer buzz which sounds a little like static and is actually radio frequency noise. Kinman pickups were one of the early pioneers in noiseless single coil technology patenting their first designs in the mid 1990’s. Other companies that have developed these type of pickups include Fender, DiMarzio and Seymour Duncan.
