Description

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.

    I can't even beguin to tell you all how happy I am with this product. I plugged it in and it worked fantastically from the first day. I used it while sitting in with the Linsey Alexander Blues Band here in Chicago and Linsey asked if he could try it and play harmonica. He fell in love with it too and said it was just as good as his Shure wirelesses he uses on his guitart and headset microphone. I've now played 3 gigs with it and have't even worn out the first set of transmitter batteries yet. Every harp player should have one of these.

    I'm not a Hohner guy. I play Lee Oskar's pretty much exclusively. So, I'm not here to blow Hohner's horn ... or in this case, harp. Up until I tried the HooDoo, I thought "Hohner" was German for "Cheap garbage". Anyway ... this thing really lived up to it's billing. With an amp that has sufficient gain, or good distortion, a ggod harp player can sound like a great harp player. Also ... it's range is reasonable. I was using it from almost 100 feet away and outside of the building where the reciever was. That would cover most situations for most live performances. The only complaint I have is that they made it black. If they made it flesh colored, it would be almost entirely invisible, and would seem like magic. Overall, I would give it a 9.5 on a 1 to 10.

    I recently purchased the Hoodoo Hand Mic system. It can attach to any PA or Amp. Easy to use. Mic has three sensitivity settings. Best for me is not the "Mic" setting but I can see how it gives the player some flexibility without having to go to the PA or Amp to change controls. Like the freedom of being able to walk around and play right in front of people.

    I have a Shure Bullet harmonica that I've used for years. A fine quality harmonica mic. However due to a accident I have limited use of my hand for cupping the mic & harmonica. I've dropped the mic a few times and I have difficulity using the volume knob. The design of the Hohner Hoodoo hand mic works great and gives me more movement for getting the bends & tones I want without the fear of dropping the mic. Hohner once again has hit the mark with design & features. I highly recommend this mic.
