Product details

The 520DX is a legendary microphone for harmonica, also known as the "Green Bullet" or "Bicycle Lamp." With its compact size and contoured shape, the 520DX fits perfectly between the harmonica and the hand.

It is the classic choice for harmonica players and is held together with the instrument. The dynamic capsule with a cardioid pattern is optimized for the classic blues harp sound.

A 6.3 mm jack cable is permanently attached, designed for connection to high-impedance inputs. For connecting to low-impedance inputs, an impedance transformer or DI box is recommended.

Although it is not specifically designed for vocals, it is often used by singers as an effect microphone. The most famous user is Scooter frontman H.P. Baxxter.

Summary: Legendary microphone for harmonica, also known as the "Green Bullet" or "Bicycle Lamp." Handy, contoured shape fits perfectly between harmonica and hand. Classic blues harp sound, cardioid pattern, volume control on the microphone. Cable permanently attached to the microphone, 6.3 mm connection. Robust cast housing.
