Shure 520DX Green Bullet Dynamic Microphone

As a harmonica player I have used a Green Bullet microphone for over 35 years. This is my second Green Bullet as I feel it is the best microphone for harmonica amplification.

It worked perfectly! We purchased this as a gift for a friend and he was highly satisfied with his gift!

Works as it should! Can be used to sing also.

It`s just what the jam doctor ordered! Flippin awesome! Been playing harp a long time and always wanted one of these, but i live way out here in the waste lands. So i never have seen one in the small town shops. Thanks to Amazon I finally have access to groovy stuff. The tone is great. fit and finish is great. the volume knob is mighty handy. A friend played one of the old ones back in the late 70s through a Fender Champ. This new Bullet does not have quite as much rasp as that old one but i think it sounds better on a clean Bassman.

Great mic for harmonica or mid-range effect vocals, like "Dead and Bloated" from Stone Temple Pilots.

Amazing device, sounds vintaged

While the sound and build are as good as everyone says, there are two blatant flaws, both stemming from the same place: the volume knob. Dialing the volume knob results in a loud static-y noise broadcast from the amp, which completely undermines the purpose of having live local volume control. I returned the first one I got, assuming it was defective, but alas the replacement has the same issue. Either this is a major design flaw, or the defect is so commonplace as to de facto make it a part of the design. The other defect stems from the fact that the knob, which is a recent addition, replaced what used to be a threaded hole where conceivably one could rig a connection to a mic stand. Now one has to order a third-party plastic piece and hope for the best. This seems like a big oversight, for although this is billed as a harmonica mic, many if not most harp players are also vocalists who need to put the mic down sometimes. Those two defects aside, it is still a great relief to have high-quality electronics inside a satisfyingly solid and heavy metal housing, the likes of which are rarely still seen. Even the fact that this is a non-cardioid microphone that picks up all kinds of background noise adds to its old-school charm. UPDATE: After a few sessions of good use, the static noise on the volume knob went away, so I revise my rating up to 41/2 stars. Presumably it just need to loosen up and self-lubricate.

Es lo q.esperaba

Price, looks, cachet, build quality, has it all Easy to use, and just adds that slight swagger to a journeyman trainee at best.

il microfono risponde come piace a me, a patto di suonare l'armonica a mani chiuse sul microfono stesso, se si usa fisso sul treppiede risulta più o0 meno come gli altri microfoni: meglio stare distanti dai diffusori altrimenti gli acuti stridono e fischiano e bisogna regolare il volume, quindi trovare il punto idoneo tra le casse è basilare! sono complessivamente contento!

全く問題ありません。他のハーモニカマイクに比べハウリングがほとんど起こらなくなりました。サイズと重さは課題ですが、音優先です。大きな場所で使いたいマイクでした。

I love the vintage sound of the green bullet

Τέλειο!!!
