Audix FireBall Overview

The Audix FireBall is a dynamic microphone primarily designed for close capturing of harmonica and other instruments that produce high Sound Pressure Levels (SPL) up to 140 dB without distortion. In addition to harmonica, the FireBall is also ideal for capturing brass and woodwinds as well as vocals in live stage and studio.

The tight cardioid polar pattern rejects noise and off-axis audio at the sides of the capsule, minimizing noise and feedback. The 50 Hz to 16 kHz frequency response provides excellent detail and accuracy while minimizing low-frequency noise. The round, handheld design allows the user to hold the microphone close while applying a cupping technique with the other hand.

The Fireball is manufactured with a precision machined aluminum body, dent-resistant steel mesh grille, unique three-stage marbled anodized finish, and gold plated XLR connector.

Tailored for Chromatic and Diatonic Harmonicas
Primarily designed for harmonica, the FireBall excels in capturing both, chromatic and diatonic instruments.
High SPL Handling
The FireBall is capable for reproducing signals up to 140 dB SPL without distortion.
Cardioid Polar Pattern
The tight cardioid polar pattern provides exceptional rejection of ambiance and off-axis signals.
Transformerless Design
The transformerless design and balanced output provide interference-free capturing even at long cable runs.

what type of amp is best for this mic and harmonica?
Asked by: michael
Many harmonica players like to use a microphone through a small combo amplifier designed for guitar to achieve a tone with a little more grit and dirtier tone than a standard PA speaker. Perhaps something like the Blackstar Debut 15E Stereo 15W Practice Guitar Amplifier (B&H # BLDEBUT15EBG) or the Roland CUBE-10GX Guitar Amplifier (B&H # ROCUBE10GX), or the VOX Valvetronix VT20X Hybrid Modeling 1x8 Combo Guitar Amplifier (B&H # VOVT20X).
