Compact size makes it perfect for cupping Hohner have long been a revered name in the harmonica world with over 160 years of experience in designing and making the instrument. That’s why they were the perfect choice for sE Electronics to collaborate with sharing their expertise in developing this powerful harp microphone. The unique design is highly compact providing the perfect shape and size to cup and handle whilst playing the harmonica. The flat and sleek grille also aids in gripping your harmonica as close to the enclosure as possible providing a firm handle for your instrument. The rugged vintage-style design is perfect for stage and studio thanks to the highly reactive capsule paired with the hand-crafted die-cast zinc alloy enclosure. The result is a road-ready dent-proof and corrosion-free microphone. It also features a gold-plated XLR connector for maximum signal integrity resulting in the best possible audio performance. Unique acoustic design for maximum expression At the heart of the Harp Blaster is a unique dynamic capsule. The HB52 design was developed alongside professional harmonica players allowing sE Electronics to fine-tune the capsule to deliver the best possible sound and performance. The premium-grade capsule boasts a high output level and high impedance allowing the microphone to be driven properly without the need for impedance converters boost pedals or stomp boxes. This means the microphone captures every nuance of your playing style. From hand articulation to changes in placement the Harp Plaster translates this expression with maximum accuracy. The microphone also features an integrated Bourns® potentiometer and a diamond-pattern knurled chrome knob for added stability. This allows you to toggle the volume settings to suit your playing style. Should you want to remove this feature you can disable the volume control internally for added flexibility. Vintage-style design meets high-end sound Each Harp Blaster microphone is hand-crafted in the sE Electronics factory consisting of an all-metal chassis with a thick die-cast body for maximum durability. The boutique design features an exclusive hammer painted finish for a great look and maximum durability. From the stage to the studio the Harp Blaster is the perfect choice for any professional harmonica player. Unlike conventional ceramic transducers the dynamic capsule is more rugged and acclimatised to being dropped and withstanding the rigours of continuous use. This ensures you retain the consistent sound for years to come.
