Wednesday, March 26, 2008 Hohner Hoodoo Hand Wireless Microphone System The new Hohner Hoodoo line has hit the retail outlets. I just ordered one from Coast2CoastMusic.com. I am a traditionalist, so I prefer the JT-30, but I like gadgets, too, so I want to try this out. I have a couple of wireless rigs, but I have never seen the advantage. This has a "ring" mic, so it might work out well. Hohner Hoodoo Hand Wireless Microphone System Consisting of a bodypack transmitter with belt clip, a dual diversity UHF receiver, and the innovative Hoodoo Ring microphone, this system frees you from being tethered to your microphone. The Hoodoo Hand system allows you to use your natural hand cupping and playing techniques while eliminating the need to deal with bulky bullet-style wired microphones. The patented Hoodoo Ring Microphone is a tiny lavalier mic that's been tweaked to produce the low-fi, overdriven sound most blues players crave, while still being capable of producing relatively clean output when the music or your style requires it. The mic nestles in a clip with two finger holes that slip over your middle and ring fingers. Hohner includes two clips with different finger hole diameters to fit a wide range of finger sizes. The beauty of the design becomes obvious the moment you begin playing. Without a bulky mic occupying most of the cavity formed by your cupped hands, an acoustic space is created for producing a wide range of effects like flutters and tremolos. And because it's easy to create a tight seal between your hands and mouth, your sound has all the punch and dynamics you could hope for. The dual-diversity UHF-band receiver has both 1/4 inch and balanced XLR outputs so you can send your signal to either an amp or the PA. The front panel has a convenient rotary volume knob for fast onstage adjustments and indicators for power, normal and peak signal levels, and lights that indicate which antenna is in use. The system comes in a durable plastic travel case and includes a magic Hoodoo drawstring bag for accessories. Hohner Hoodoo Hand Harmonica Wireless Microphone System Features: Transmitter * Wireless mic system optimized for harmonica * Special lavaliere mic tuned for harmonica * Unique Hoodoo Ring mic clips (2 sizes supplied) * Supports and enhances cupping techniques * Offers complete freedom of movement * Powered by 2 AA batteries * Rechargeable battery jack * 3-position sensitivity switch * Bodypack dimensions: 2-5/8W x 3-5/16H x 7/8D Receiver * UHF band dual-diversity receiver * Operates at 630.200MHz * 1/4 inch unbalanced output * XLR balanced output * 12V DC input (adapter included) * Dual antennas * Rotary front-panel volume knob * Indicator lights for power, antenna, normal and peak signal * Receiver dimensions: 9-1/4 inches W x 2 inches H x 4-1/2 inches D Includes molded case, accessory pouch, 48 inch 1/4 inch cable, 40 inch mic cable. posted by Keith at 3/26/2008 05:44:00 PM 1 Comments:  mstahl said... I got one. Tone: fair, wireless quality: good, feedback resistance: unsatisfactory in my admittedly high-volume gigging situation. Needs a variable volume control on the wireless transmitter as well as a way to hook up other microphones other than the ring setup. Connectors at transmitter are non-standard so to hook up another mic you are going to have to have to cobble it up yourself. 4:31 PM   Post a Comment << Home

Free Name-A-Star Give a special gift. Name a star for free www.freenameastar.com History of this page. In the dawn of the World Wide Web (1994), Keith Graham created the JT30 page. It started out as a home page for modifying JT30 microphones. Eventually the page became a catchall for microphones and amplified harmonica playing. You can see these pages at: The Original JT30 Page Now I have three pages for harp mics, harp tab and harp amps. I'm going to start another one just for learning harp.
