| Audix Fireball
Dynamic Instrument Microphone for Harmonica
Designed, machined, assembled and tested by Audix in the USA, the FireBall™ is a professional dynamic instrument microphone intended for harmonica (both diatonic and chromatic) and beatbox. Clear, accurate and capable of handling sound pressure levels in excess of 140 dB without distortion, the FireBall™ is ideally suited for both live stage and studio recording applications. The FireBall™ is characterized with a cardioid pickup pattern for isolation and feedback control and is equipped with a VLM™ (Very Low Mass) diaphragm for natural sound reproduction with exceptional transient response. With a smooth, uniform frequency response of 50 Hz - 16 kHz, the FireBall™ is lightweight, compact, and comfortable to hold. Roadworthy construction includes a precision machined aluminum body, steel mesh grill, unique three stage marbled anodized finish, laser etched model and serial number, Switchcraft® XLR connector, and heavy duty nylon clip. The FireBall™ is a low impedance microphone; when using the FireBall™ with a guitar amplifier, a high quality low-high impedance transformer (such as T50K) is required.
