Consisting of a bodypack transmitter with belt clip, a dual diversity UHF receiver, and the innovative Hoodoo Ring microphone, the Hoodoo Hand Harmonica Wireless Microphone System frees you from being tethered to your microphone. You can roam the stage while enjoying perfect mic placement at all times.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 that have traditionally been the primary choice for live performance among blues harp players. 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" 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 also comes in a durable plastic travel case.Transmitter:Wireless mic system optimized for harmonicaSpecial Lavalier mic tuned for harmonicaUnique Hoodoo Ring mic clips (2 sizes supplied)Supports and enhances cupping techniquesOffers complete freedom of movementPowered by 2 AA batteriesRechargeable battery jack3-position sensitivity switchReceiver:UHF band dual-diversity receiverOperates at 630.200MHz1/4" unbalanced outputXLR balanced output12V DC input (adapter included)Dual antennasRotary front-panel volume knobIndicator lights for power, antenna, normal and peak signalIncludes molded case, 48" 1/4" cable, 40" mic cable Minimize
