Microphone Shure SH 520DX for Harmonica with Volume Control
The Shure SH 520DX microphone is the first microphone choice for musicians who play blues harmonica. Known as Green Bullet, it features a volume control knob and its base allows the user to make adjustments to suit their needs during live performances.
The Shure 520DX microphone is the classic harmonica microphone with the unique sound of Chicago blues.
All musicians and blues harmonica fans know the sound of this microphone. The legendary Green Bullet has been used by blues players for decades for its signature midrange that complements the harmonica's sound and adds another dimension to an electric blues ensemble.
In addition to the unique sound, it is also preferred by musicians for its ergonomics and sound control. In addition to the classic American car headlight shape that fits perfectly in the hand, the Shure 520DX also has a volume control on the base for easy adjustment during performance.
With a frequency response between 100 Hz and 5 kHz, the Shure 520DX Green Bullet is a high-impedance omnidirectional microphone that benefits from the proximity effect when used. Hook it up to an electric guitar amp and you'll get the sound that made it a classic blues element.
The Shure 520DX Green Bullet is part of the Shure Classic Collection and was close to being discontinued. Initially thought to be used as a voice microphone, the Green Bullet lost ground to other microphones with a wider frequency range. But as soon as the brand announced it was discontinuing it, blues musicians everywhere claimed the mic as essential to their sound, and urged it to stay on the market.
It wasn't Shure's original idea, but they appealed to musicians, perpetuating a unique and iconic sound. It is also used as a stage microphone to give the voice another timbre, or even in the studio.
