GENERAL
Contoured to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand, the Model 520DX "Green Bullet"
microphone produces the unique sound that has made it a legend among harmonica
players.
The 520DX features a volume control knob at the base of the microphone that allows
musicians to make adjustments to suit their needs during a live performance. An
attached cable with a standard 1/4-inch phone plug allows the microphone to be
connected to a high-impedance device.
APPLICATIONS
Connect the 520DX directly into a guitar amplifier to produce the classic blues harp
sound. Use the following guidelines:
The volume control on the microphone should be turned down before plugging it into
an amplifier. As you move away from the amplifier, the volume can be turned up.
Adjust the microphone's volume control knob during performances as needed. For
example, when switching from playing rhythm to lead or to place the microphone on
standby between sets.
To avoid feedback, maintain as much distance as possible from monitors or
loudspeakers. Adjust the volume of monitors or loudspeakers at the mixing console
so that no feedback is present when the volume control knob on the harmonica
microphone is at its maximum setting.
NOTE: The volume setting of the guitar amplifier may have a significant effect on the
overall tone produced. Experiment with different microphone and amplifier volume
settings to achieve the desired effect.
