K4003 as harmonica amp

Kits
1

Hello,

I’ve built a k4003 amp and it sounds great. Signal is loud and clear. I’ve decided I’d like to use the amp for my harmonica mic, a Shure Green Bullet ( Load Impedance Range minimum 100 kΩ. Output Clipping Level at 1kHz, open circuit voltage -38.0 dBV/Pa (13 mV) [1])

The input sensitivity of the K4003 reads input sensitivity: 300mV / 150Kohm

Can I connect the mic directly to the amp via 1/4 jack or should I be using any kind of pad or preamp?

Thanks,

Caleb

Dear,

You’ll need a preamplifier fir the harmonica mic.

Like this: UNIVERSAL MONO PRE-AMPLIFIER - Whadda

Cool. Thanks! I pulled the k4003 out tonight to test some speakers and got me thinking about this again.
