Shure 520DX Green Bullet — Harmonica Microphone
520DX Overview
The Shure 520DX, widely known as the “Green Bullet,” is the benchmark harmonica microphone for blues harp players and has been the instrument-specific mic of choice for generations of performers. Its signature green and chrome die-cast casing is immediately recognizable on any stage, and its design is purpose-built for the cupped-hand technique central to blues harmonica performance. An integrated volume control knob allows players to make real-time level adjustments without leaving the mic position. The 520DX is the go-to choice for blues musicians, live sound engineers supporting harmonica-forward acts, and venues that demand an authentic blues tone.
The adjustable base allows players to modify the microphone’s positioning to suit their playing style and stage setup, providing flexibility during live performance without requiring additional hardware.
