This pickup allows the high frequencies to "open up" while still maintaining very strong lows.

For nearly 30 years, the DiMarzio X2N has been the top choice for all-out power. In the last couple of years, we've developed totally new ways to combine power with clarity, which first resulted in the D Activator. Now we bring you the D Activator-X Bridge model. It features the same striking look as the X2N, but we've adjusted the output and tuned the coils to different frequencies to create a powerful sound wide open with a surprisingly clean sound when the volume control is rolled down, even with extreme metal and high-gain amps. The Neck model is designed to produce a highly focussed attack centered on the upper mid range, with less magnet pull and output in order to balance perfectly with the Bridge model. The D Activator-X Bridge model feature universal spacing for both standard and F-spaced applications. The D Activator-X bridge model uses the same bar pole pieces and magnet structure as the X2N, but it's a very different pickup in other ways. Output voltage is slightly lower than the X2N, and the tuning of the two coils allows the high frequencies to "open up" while still maintaining very strong lows and mids. The D Activator-X is also very good for clean, bright sounds in split and parallel modes.

I upgraded my Jackson Strat with the humbucker. Based on some reviews, I had read that this particular humbucker was "active" rather than "passive." I can confirm this. The sound, output, and clarity are excellent. The installation and setup were straightforward. When adjusting, it's important to pay attention to the distance between the pickup and the strings, otherwise it can easily rattle. I would recommend this product.
