Used Shure 520DX Dynamic Microphone

This Shure 520DX "Green Bullet" microphone is an iconic dynamic microphone that has become the industry standard for amplified harmonica while also finding a home in vintage-style vocal and lo-fi recording applications. Its compact, easy-to-cup design and high-impedance output make it an excellent match for guitar amplifiers, delivering the gritty, overdriven tone that has defined blues harmonica for decades. The built-in volume control allows players to make quick adjustments without reaching for their amplifier.

This microphone is a favorite among blues musicians thanks to its warm midrange response, natural compression, and ability to produce the classic Chicago blues sound when paired with a tube amp. It's equally at home in the studio for adding vintage character to vocals, percussion, or other instruments. Whether you're an experienced harp player or exploring creative recording techniques, the 520DX remains one of the most recognizable and sought-after microphones in its class.
