- Modeled after the sound of legendary vintage harp microphones and with the help of professional players, HOHNER and sE Electronics have created the HB52 Harp Blaster, a dynamic harmonica microphone. Boutique features such as the Bourns® potentiometer and the gold plated XLR connector and state of the art manufacturing make it the new standard in harmonica microphones.

I could have just read a PDF. I was hoping to HEAR it.
I look forward to hearing it!
Some things look better on paper than in actual practice. It eliminates one hand from the instrument. No more wah wah.
Already on the Christmas list
Is this a new model of the Harp Blaster or just a random ad for the existing one?
Don't know about this "industry standard" stuff. The specs show that it is powerful (45,000 ohms) but the frequency range is 22 - 16,000 Hz and the frequency response graph shows it has no midrange "bump" (more of a wide range "mound"), that means very bright with only so so distortion and "balls". Like most currently made harmonica microphones, it tries to be all things to all people but for blues harmonica it's kinda lame. Also don't like the XLR. But hey, if you want to spend $150 on up for a microphone that couldn't come close to a $40 powerhouse 50,000 ohm early 1960s Japanese dynamic blues harp mike then go for it. PS: no demo? Does it sound that bad?
I mean, its cool... but calling something "industry standard" does not make something the industry standard. Marketing doesnt have to be dishonest.
