Description

Here's what Audix say about the Fireball Dynamic Cardioid Ultra Small Microphone

The FireBall™ dynamic instrument microphone is designed for harmonicas (both diatonic and chromatic) and beatbox. Clear, accurate, and capable of handling SPLs in excess of 140 dB without distortion, the FireBall™ is ideally suited for both live stage and studio recording applications.

The FireBall™ microphone has a smooth, uniform frequency response of 50 Hz – 16 kHz, and a cardioid pickup pattern for isolation and feedback control. It is lightweight, compact, and comfortable to hold. The FireBall™ is manufactured with a precision machined aluminium body, steel mesh grille, and a unique three-stage marbled anodized finish.

Because the FireBall™ cardioid instrument microphone is a low impedance microphone, when using with a guitar amplifier, a quality, low-high impedance transformer (see T50k)  is required.

Designed, machined, assembled, and tested by Audix in the USA.

Dynamic Microphones

Dynamic microphones use a moving-coil or related robust capsule design and are often chosen for live sound, broadcast, drums, guitar cabinets, vocals and loud sources. They generally tolerate handling and high sound-pressure levels well, while many need more preamp gain than a sensitive condenser. Compare polar pattern, proximity effect, off-axis behaviour, grille and mounting, plus the available gain and noise performance of the interface or mixer. A dynamic microphone can be a focused close-range tool, but the model’s response and placement determine whether it suits speech, stage or instrument work.

Cardioid

Cardioid describes a front-focused pickup pattern with useful rejection toward the rear. Placement, room reflections and the model’s off-axis response still affect the result.
