Re: [Harp-L] deluxes and feedback

Thanks for the info.  I wasn't aware of the 545.  I'll look  into it.  Could you take the 545 element and put it in a bullet I  wonder?  I have the MC151 element in the Turner.  The 520DX  works pretty well through my Kzoo Model 2, but since I put all the  effort into building the 5E3 I want to play through it.

  The trouble with the Shure 520DX is it's response level drops off
dramatically after 4kHz, no clarity, no cut  - so the harp player
struggling to hear himself over the band turns himself up even louder than
if he was playing through 520 CM element, or Astatic JT30 crystal -
throwing him into feedback city.  
  If you're trying to drive your amp hard, it pays to start with a powerful
microphone - I recommend the Shure 545SD wired hot as a mic you can buy off
the shelf, it's been a hit with some of the pro-harp players in New Zealand
 - if you're going to use a Bullet mic get a decent element for it, Shure
CM, Astatic MC151, or the like.
Cheers,
