Audix Fireball, Dynamic Harmonica Microphone
The FireBall is a dynamic microphone specifically designed for the
professional harmonica player and it is well-suited for both chromatic
and diatonic harmonicas. With its sleek styling and unique design, the
FireBall is CNC machined at the Audix factor in Wilsonville, Oregon out
of a solid bar of aircraf grade aluminum. The final look is achieved
with a elaborate three stage anodizing process, givin every microphone
its own distinctive look Featuring a dent resistant grill ball with a
deep re internal pop filter, each FireBall is attractively laser etched
with its name and serial number.
While the contour the FireBall is designed to fit comfortably within
the palm of the hand, there is a full-sized dynamic capsule within to
provide big, full-bodied sound. Featuring VLM (Very Low Mass) capsule
technology developed by Audix during the early 1990's, the FireBall is
very clean and accurate, resistant to feedback, and capable of handling
sound pressure levels in excess of 140 dB without distortion.
Even more astonishing is the ability of the FireBall to maintain its
high quality sound reproduction even while the artist is cupping the
grill ball. While this type of cupping action is necessary for style
and effect, it can often cause the microphone to "boom out" or become
muddy and distorted. Not so with th FireBall - it will operate as if
it's in an open air environment, even under the most demanding
conditions
The FireBall is characterized with a smooth and uniform frequency
response of 50 Hz - 16 kHz and and a cardioid polar pattern, allowing
it to focus on the particular instrument that is being miked without
picking up other instruments or ambient noise on stage.
