I bought this guitar via ebay and did not listen to it before. On it there are passive sound sounds of Nazgul. I do not like them - to be silent, there is no loud or sharp sound. I want to be active. The problem is that for seven-stringed guitars they are all big. What active audio signals to choose? I have seen on the Schecter JL 7 active sound pick-ups the same size as on my guitar. But on sale there are only passive. Where is the set of active sound pickups Jeff Lommis the same size to fit the guitar KM 7?
What active sound pickups to choose for Schecter km 7?

I think you're confusing the use of "passive" with the Jeff Loomis pickups...they are active pickups, but you can get them with traditional "passive" style mounting tabs in the 7-string version
Jeff Loomis "Active" mount:
Jeff Loomis "Passive" mount:
Both pickups above are still "active" pickups, requiring a battery
The different mountings used to be called "Phase 1" (i.e. passive style) and "Phase 2" (i.e. EMG soapbar active style):

For a general idea, listen to youtube comparisons of JB or Duncan Distortion (passive for metal) vs EMG81 (active sound). Just regular comparisons, not necessarily 7 string ones
That'll give you a general idea of which TYPE you prefer, active or passive.
PS duncan actives sound a little more passive-like if you have difficulty choosing

Can you tell us more about what you mean by "no loud or sharp sound"? I know it's probably a translation issue.
Also, what does the rest of your gear look like? What amp, effects, etc?
If you can provide us with more details about what you don't like with the KM7 pickups, we can probably give you better guidance.
