Shure 520Dx harmonica microphone for blues harp and lo-fi vocals
The Shure 520Dx, better known as the Green Bullet, is widely known as a classic harmonica microphone. This model is mainly used for harmonica and also works for pronounced lo-fi vocals, making it a strong match for live use where character and direct control matter.
On the road or on stage, you can adjust the level easily with the built-in volume control. That makes the Shure 520Dx practical in changing musical situations.
Connection, cartridge and technical operation
This dynamic microphone uses a robust cartridge with improved response. The 520Dx has high impedance and an omnidirectional pickup pattern, and connects through its fixed cable with standard 1/4 inch plug to a high-impedance device.
The frequency response runs from 100 Hz to 5 kHz, with a sensitivity of -38 dBV/Pa at 1 kHz, or 12.5 mV/Pa. At 737 g, the Shure 520Dx has a solid feel in the hand. At Magna Music, you can also get personal advice from musicians in the shop if you want to know whether this microphone suits your setup.
