Harp Blaster HB52
The new standard in harp microphones
Based on the inspiration from a select group of professional players and modeled after the sound of legendary vintage harp microphones.
Inside the HB52
Vintage sound paired with modern precision
Modeled after the sound of legendary vintage harp microphones, the Harp Blaster HB52 sets a new standard. The perfect harp mic design to inspire creative output, comfortable to hold, cup, and use for long periods of time so the music can flow unhindered and achieve maximum sonority and expression.
The heart of the Harp Blaster: the capsule
Combining sE’s experience in dynamic capsules and acoustic design with HOHNER’s unrivaled competence in harmonicas for more than 160 years, the Harp Blaster meets the highest expectations of performing musicians and demanding sound engineers. Instead of looking at competing products to sculpt the Harp Blaster’s sound, we took our inspiration from a select group of professional players.
Compact size. Big sound. Easy to use.
Perfectly sized for easy cupping and handling, the highly reactive capsule responds directly to your hand technique and your musical expression. Moreover, the Harp Blaster HB52 was designed with input from professional harp players to ensure we answered the needs of artists worldwide. Together, HOHNER and sE chased down creating a state-of-the-art product that will satisfy the most discerning harmonica player.
Robust all-metal housing
In the throes of performing, you can drop it, kick it, and/or drive nails with it. The HB52 is built to be a roadworthy tool. Just do us a favor and don’t submerge it in boiling water, or anything similarly ridiculous. Barring that, it should last a lifetime!
meet state-of-the-art manufacturing
The HB52 features a volume control utilizing a Bourns® potentiometer and a diamond-pattern knurled chrome knob, making it slip-proof and reliable. If you’d prefer not to have a volume control, it can be disabled internally. The high output level and high impedance will drive your amp properly without the need for any impedance converters, boost pedals or stomp boxes.
Gold-plated XLR connector
We opted to use an XLR jack, as opposed to an attached cable, a 1/4” jack or a screw-on connector, to avoid a common Achilles’ heel among harmonica microphones. An XLR jack provides better connectivity, that won’t become noisy or fussy over time with an internal locking mechanism for total signal security (see the HB52 manual below to easily disable the XLR locking mechanism if preferred).
