Silver Bullet Dynamic | Standard Harp Mic 50K Dirty/Lo-Fi

The Silver Bullet Dynamic | Standard Harp Mic is modelled after the vintage harp mics and features a rugged heavy-all-metal casing, dark hardwood fascia and chunky terminal volume control with angled base-mounted jack-socket. This handmade, artisan harmonica microphone with a low form-factor provides a great standard for the serious harmonica blues player – providing a powerful, high impedance mic that is rich in tone, robust and comfortable to hold for long periods of practice or gigging.

The microphone has a really “hot” signal that is packed with full harmonic content and great tone with perfect base and mid-sound without treble. The sound is warm, responds to cupping and pressure changes and breaks up nicely. The 50KΩ offers a very powerful high-z mic with low headroom so if you like crunch distortion and a lovely dirty blues sound this is the microphone to chose. Apply a touch of reverb from your amp, turn up the gain to drive the mic’ and achieve various degrees of distorted, crunchy classic “blues” harmonica sound, especially when cupped – providing a powerful and dirty low-fi sound that is rich and fat in tone. Dynamic microphones have proven reliability and are ideal for practice or gigging – blues and country harmonica performance. This mic’ needs to be matched to a high (500KΩ/0.5MΩ) impedance sockets on your amplifier.

The microphone’s size and shape provides a durable design which is smaller than a Marine Band and fits neatly in your hand. It is a perfect size for getting a really good seal for amplified harmonica playing which is much easier than with a larger bullet mic. A really nice feature of this mic is the inset rubber o-ring seal and gnarled ring at the head of the mic’ which serves two purposes: firstly it means that the harmonica isn’t going slip out of your hands when they get sweaty (a real issue!); secondly it helps achieve a consistent airtight seal around the harmonica and microphone to get the biggest “tone” you possibly can.

The mic’ is exceptionally light in your hand and is easy to hold with a harmonica while performing so you don’t get hand cramp after a long practice or performance. The chunky terminal volume knob is very firm which means you are not going to accidentally twist it in the middle of a particularly enthusiastic harmonica solo. The sensitive volume control provides you with excellent control to boost your output or control feedback or to increase gain for added distortion effect or control unwanted feed-back issues. The mic’ connects to a valve or solid-state amplifier with a standard 1/4″ (6.3mm) guitar jack-plug socket.

The microphone is supplied with a hand-crafted leather finish that wraps tightly around the microphone that looks great but also adds some additional grip, seal and protection.

This high impedance dynamic mic’ is top-of-the range in sound, feel and playability.
