Nady And Bushman Music Works Collaborate For The VHM-7 Bushman Torpedo Harmonica Mic

Jun 15, 2006

Nady Systems recently announced the introduction of their new harmonica mic—the VHM-7 Bushman Torpedo—which is being produced in collaboration with Bushman Music Works. This new specialty microphone was developed by Bushman and is being manufactured and distributed by Nady.

Designed specifically for harmonica use, the Torpedo features a cardioid pattern dynamic cartridge expressly tailored for producing thick, fat tone while holding cupped—and enough "filthy" tone to satisfy even the most discriminating blues harp players. Open air, uncapped use produces extremely smooth, clean vocal audio; the distinctive, proprietary fluted design allows for some inventive special effects and tone altering, including shaping hand wahs and flutters. Also, since the VHM-7 is a high-performance vocal mic as well, harp players have the option of using the same mic for both singing and playing. The mic can be used with its own amp or plugged into the PA.

Unlike with most modern harmonica mics, volume levels on the Torpedo can be turned up with virtually no feedback. With the increased volume flexibility, you can dial in almost any sound you're after by balancing the treble, middle, and bass settings on your amp just as you would with a vocal mic.

The VHM-7 has a unique, vintage, chromed aerospace casing and hip retro look. Its bullet-proof tough construction and comfortable feel make it ideal for overall performance/presentation needs.

"Our collaboration with Bushman on the Torpedo has been very rewarding", commented John Nady, President of Nady Systems. "Bushman clearly knows harmonicas, and Nady really knows mics; the combination of our complementary expertise has produced a killer result and I'm sure harp players everywhere will take notice."

The VHM-7 Bushman Torpedo is now shipping.
