Loudbark Custom Timber Microphones See Loudbark's new web site at www.loudbark.net (currently offline). Manufactured in Victoria by Loudbark for use with vocals, harmonicas, brass and other instruments. These wonderful timber microphones are low impedance (500 Ohms @ 1KHz) and thus work fine into an XLR vocal mic input or a low impedance instrument input. Since the mic is at the high end of lo-Z mic impedance range (< 600 ohms, see Impedance Matching for Microphones: Is it Necessary at Shure, and Bruce Bartlett's Impedence FAQ) and most modern amps use bridging inputs, plugging into Hi-Z inputs seems to work very well for us. See the Loudbark element specification sheet here. Note: At MandoHarp we're currently working with a US harp mic manufacturer to design and produce a small inline device that provides switchable hi/lo impedance (see Audio Transformers at Shure) and volume control. Stay tuned for more on this soon! Dane Clarke at MandoHarp (harp player with Headland and The Gypsy Tarts) has been 'Loudbarking' with a Loudbark Leaf mic at every gig for the last couple of years and highly recommends them. Sound samples from artists using Loudbark microphones Here are some links to YouTube clips and mp3 files of various Loudbarkers.
