“Never have I heard a better sound from an amplification system than when I use this microphone—tiny enough to clip onto the back of the harp with a tiny gooseneck receptor, powerful enough to fill a room from 50-500 people with no distortion. Audiences don’t even know I am using it. It is the utmost compliment to say I look forward to bringing an amplification system on a job. It is a musician’s dream come true!”
—Beth Robinson, New York City harpist

The Harp Mic™

The ultimate harp microphone, a versatile, effective tool for amplifying your harp, delivering true studio-qulaity sound for live performance. With electronics tailored to the harp’s unique sound, the Harp Mic is a high-end professional-quality tool. You’ve spent up to several thousand dollars on your harp, and you want to reproduce that sound when you need to amplify your instrument. The quality of the microphone will determine the quality of the sound your audience hears, and this is the best microphone there is for the harp.

The Harp Mic attaches to the back of the soundbox by gently gripping the edges of one of the soundholes. This unique clamping design allows for mounting on nearly all lever and pedal harps being made today. Unlike a microphone on a stand, The Harp Mic moves with your harp as you reposition it or tilt it back to play, keeping your sound consistent. It’s also discreet, out of your way and out of the audience’s view. It mounts quickly, with a few turns of a single knob, and uses no sticky tape or putty that can mar your harp’s finish. The microphone element extends out from the clamp on an extra-supple gooseneck, making it easy to position in that “perfect” spot. Since The Harp Mic is not permanently attached to your harp, you can easily switch it to other instruments. It can also come in handy for making voice announcements through your sound system.

A 10-foot cord connects the Harp Mic to the included preamplifier, which can be powered by either a nine-volt battery or phantom power. You’ll need a microphone cable to connect the preamp to your amp. Each microphone includes a wind screen.
