    The Shure 520DX for harmonica

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    The Shure 520DX has fishing, a sound a little dirty as we like to play rock blues.
    You just pay attention to larsens because it is more difficult to master especially when one begins and one does not know to manage the sound. A bit like a horse that has never had mounted, must coax!
    Accompanied by a distortion effect pedal or another, it's my scene partner and studio for ten years!
    Level value, I find excellent for micro typed like this.

    Micro "for" harmonious
    dynamic microphone

    Vintage appearance. Pretty enough.
    Wiring particular (original, it is wired with a standard jack)

    Practice: a volume of pota t rgler addition to the base of the gain

    OVERALL OPINION

    - I've had less than a month
    - I love the look (although I prfere the look of the Astatic JT-30 taken up by the name of hohner blues blaster).
    Good grip. A little heavy anyway, I find it quite comfortable.
    On a Peavey Classic 30 is a true massacre. I had the blues blaster is crappy cot.
    I trs little feedback, it RULES easily and allows me to have the grain on my amp
    - I changed it against a blues blaster: Honestly, I feel I have done a grea…

    - I changed it against a blues blaster: Honestly, I feel I have done a great deal ... I bought a deprecated blues blaster nine.
    The DX 520 is expensive ... but worth it! To be taken especially for the look!
    - New: Report quality / price is not terrible, I will opt instead for a sm58 with pota volume hohner (which fits all microphones songs)
    - To change this, I start again without hsiter!
    It's the sound I was looking on the peavey

    Namely: the hohner blues blaster from home does not sound really bad on a classic 30 ...

    I have the older version of the 520D and there is no input gain knob.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it mainly for vocals.
    Our sound engineer on the sound system removes the acute and grave and put a little more than a medium which gives effect "softphone" that I complete with a lightweight octaver (BOSS OC-2)
    and that makes it serious!

    The Shure 520DX is a dynamic microphone that is suitable for both in the studio or on the stage. While I have only used this microphone for recording, you can definitely use it for live shows as well, whether it be for harmonica or something else. It has a standard XLR connection and while it is designed for use with harmonica, it has a number of other possible applications in addition to the harmonica.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've been using the Shure 520DX for about three years and have found it to be a great microphone for recording harmonica and a few other instruments. It is great for harmonica because it is possible to hold the microphone while one is playing so they can get an up close signal coming from the harmonica. While the Shure 520DX is really designed for this harmonica use, I have also had interesting success using this to record snare drum. While it wasn't a standard snare sound that I got, it had an interesting twang to it that works only in certain situations. In addition to these uses, I would encourage those who have this for harmonica to play around with it to see if it is useful in your situation for other things, as you can get some pretty cool sounds. This being said, I would really only recommend picking one of these up if you plan on using it for harmonica, as this is what it is best at and this is what it is designed for. The price of the Shure 520DX isn't too expensive at all, and is really a great value. Shure is known for making top quality microphones, and when it comes to recording a harmonica, the Shure 520DX is a great choice. Overall, another great microphone from the Shure company.
