It has been a while since I've posted a topic of my own in this forum. I don't want to guess - I'd much rather know what you're wondering. If it comes to amplifying your harmonica, I have thoughts! I have ideas! I have opinions!

So go ahead! Ask!

There are NO stupid questions here. They didn't teach you this stuff in high school.

Hi, Juha I may know a lot

Hi, Juha

I may know a lot about mics, but I definitely do NOT know a lot about speakers. I do know those particular ones and I think they should be fine for harp - but if you want to get more info I suggest re-posting your questions in Skip Simmon's amp forum on this site: http://www.bluesharmonica.com/forums/ask_amp_expert_skip_simmons

OK. So guestion about Shure SM57 and DB210

Hi Greg and thank for answer.

So..
I have Shure SM57 with yours fine barrel an pot system. But with Delta Blues its so quiet compared to my Superlux d112. (D112 is allmost two times louder)
Shure sounds better.
Is there some impedance problem?

Hi, Juha - yes, you ordered

Hi, Juha - yes, you ordered your Ultimate 57 set up for low impedance. If you use an XLR to 1/4" cable I would expect the output to be very low. You should use a regular XLR<-->XLR cable and an impedance matching transformer.
