Is the Shure 520DX Green Bullet worth buying for harmonica?
Published · Last updated
Answered by Roadie
The Shure 520DX Green Bullet is worth considering if harmonica is your main reason for buying a microphone. At the supplied best new price of £135, it’s a specialist option rather than the obvious choice for someone primarily recording vocals or other instruments.
Buy for the job you actually need doing. The 520DX Green Bullet is specifically a harmonica microphone, so it belongs on your shortlist if that’s your main instrument. Before committing, try it with your own setup and check that its feel and sound suit your playing.
