The MC 5 FE/M2 pickup delivers a punchy bass and linear dynamic response throughout the entire frequency range. It is characterized by in-your-face ultra fast transients that make ghost notes really jump out and a brightly sparkling top end that never sounds artificial.
The Delano MC5 FE/M2 quad-coil humbucker uses ten 9.5mm diameter plated pole pieces.
The MC5 FE/M2 pickup with "Standard String Spacing" is a replacement for Lakland®. The custom "15.5mm String Spacing" is a replacement for OLP®.

The popular MC4 FE/M2 has very different tones whether wired for passive or active. In passive, we hear pickup with a lot body to it, with a full warm low end and a pleasing, smooth high end. The series wiring gives higher output. The low end is tight, and there is a lot of snap in the top end.
The pickup used for the below video is the MC4 FE/M2, a 4 string pickup. The 5 string size/shape will sound similar, but not exact as they will use a longer magnet. Delano is engineering them to sound as close to each other as possible.
Put on a good set of headphones and check out the audio demo below to hear it for yourself.
As always, keep in mind that these are generalizations. Your experience could be different depending on many factors.
