Audix

collapse expand iconDescription

The FireBall-V mic from Audix is well-suited for both chromatic and diatonic harmonicas. The FireBall-V is a dynamic microphone with sleek styling and a unique design. It features a dent-resistant ball grill with a deep red internal pop filter and is contoured to fit comfortably within the palm of the hand. A full-sized dynamic capsule featuring VLM (Very Lo Mass) technology provides big, full-bodied sound that is very clean and accurate. The FireBall is resistant to feedback and is capable of handling sound pressure levels in excess of 140dB without distortion. Made to be cupped, it will operate as if in an open-air environment even under the most demanding conditions. A smooth and uniform frequency response of 50Hz-16kHz and a cardioid polar pattern allow it to focus on the particular instrument being miked without picking up other instruments or ambient noise.

CNC machined out of a solid bar of aircraft-grade aluminum, it then goes through an elaborate 3-stage anodizing process for a distinctive look. Each FireBall is attractively laser etched with its name and serial number. Includes a heavy-duty mic clip and carrying pouch.

    Love my new Fireball V mic. I had been using the Bullet mic for a few years and felt a mic could do better. The Fireball provides a much clearer and warm tones. Easy to quickly adjust volume and I also found does very good with vocals as well. In my experience, the Fireball is a true winner.

    Use the XLR cable directly into a PA or adapt it to 1/4" guitar amp input.

    I am predominantly a blues player, but in my worship community the need is for a much cleaner sound. I purchased the Audix Fireball V in hopes of simulating a sound similar to Lee Oskar by using a Whammy pedal between this mic and my amp. The difference between this mic and my green bullet is noticeably cleaner and fitting for the type of worship music we play. I am very pleased with the product especially given it is several hundred dollars cheaper than the mic Lee uses. More trivially speaking I really like the red undertone color too. Highly recommended.

    Can this mic be converted to a wireless Microphone?

    Yes, the Audix Fireball-V harmonica microphone can be converted to wireless, but it requires the right wireless system and potentially some adapters or mods. Here’s what you need to consider: 1. Connectivity The Fireball-V has a standard XLR output, which makes it relatively easy to integrate with a wireless transmitter designed for dynamic microphones. Wireless System Options Option A: Beltpack Transmitter + Adapter Cable Use a wireless beltpack transmitter (like from Shure, Sennheiser, Line 6, or Xvive). You’ll need a low-impedance adapter cable from XLR female to 1/8" TRS (or whatever the input is on your transmitter). Example: Mic → XLRF to 1/8" TRS cable → Transmitter Receiver → PA/Mixer Note: Make sure the transmitter is designed to handle dynamic mic level, not instrument level. Option B: XLR Plug-On Transmitter Some systems offer plug-on transmitters (like the Shure FP1, Sennheiser SKP 100, or Xvive U3). These plug directly into the XLR jack and make any mic wireless. Be sure to choose a system that supports dynamic mics and does not require phantom power, as the Fireball-V is a dynamic mic and can be damaged by phantom power in some cases. Good Match Example Xvive U3 Dynamic Mic System Compact and rechargeable Works well with dynamic mics like the Fireball-V. Yes, you can make the Audix Fireball-V wireless. The simplest and most gig-friendly option is using a plug-on transmitter like the Xvive U3. If you're already invested in a beltpack system, just make sure you use the correct cable and input type.

    Yes. The only difference is that the V is 3.9" long where the standard is 3".
