Professional harmonica players now have access to a groundbreaking microphone that captures the legendary vintage harp sound they've been seeking. The Harp Blaster HB52 represents an innovative collaboration between HOHNER and sE Electronics, developed with direct input from select professional musicians. This dynamic harmonica microphone has been modelled after the sound characteristics of classic vintage harp mics, setting new benchmarks for both sonic quality and practical performance.
Engineered specifically for the unique demands of harmonica performance, the HB52 features a highly reactive capsule that responds directly to hand technique and musical expression. The microphone's dimensions have been carefully optimised for comfortable cupping and extended playing sessions, while its flat, sleek grille design ensures a tight cup and facilitates powerful hand effects. With high output levels and high impedance, it drives amplifiers properly without requiring additional impedance converters, boost pedals, or stomp boxes.
Built to withstand the demanding conditions of professional touring, the Harp Blaster HB52 is handcrafted entirely from metal components. Its construction features a robust die-cast body with zinc alloy parts and chrome detailing, ensuring maximum durability while maintaining superior tonal quality compared to other harmonica microphones. This collaboration combines sE Electronics' expertise in dynamic capsules and acoustic design with HOHNER's 160+ years of harmonica manufacturing excellence, meeting the exacting standards of both performing musicians and sound engineers.
