Amplification Electronics For Your Harp

If you are a harp professional, amplifying your harp is one of the many skill sets you must master. In fact, it is even more important for harpers to understand amplification than it is for most other musicians because harps have unique amplification issues and, trust us, the guy the venue hired to run the sound for your concert has no clue. You have to be the one who knows. We have some general information for you on our Amplification Basics page and we have worked hard to do the footwork (ear-work?) for you on amplification equipment. It is important that you know that an amp which sounds amazing with a guitar may not be as good for a harp. Harps have a range and harmonics which set them apart. The amps we carry have been selected from the vast array of amps out there as being reliable and quality performers for our harps.

One last thing, and we can't emphasize this enough, throw away your cheap cables, the ones connecting your harp to your amplifier or your wireless system. They are eating the voice of your harp alive. Seriously, if you do nothing else to improve the amplification of your harp, buy Asterope cables or one that is labeled as HD quality. It will be the best money you ever spend as a pro. No joke.

Asterope High Definition Cables

No one ever thinks about this but the cable that runs between your harp and your amplifier loses details from the voice of your harp so your harp ends up sounding less clear. Asterope Hi-Def cables are the aural equivalent of high definition computer displays in that what you hear out of your amplifier sounds just like your harp...only louder. It really is an astonishing difference. Trust us, when we were first exposed to these cables we thought, "Really, how much difference can there be?" When we heard a comparison we were floored.

Asterope Hi-Def Cables produce a high quality sound like no other cable. They utilize revolutionary technology that delivers a reduction in noise and a substantial increase in clarity, harmonic and frequency response and spectral balance. These Asterope cables were named the “Product of the Year” by the musical instrument manufacturers organization for a reason - they are every bit as amazing as their price would indicate. We guarantee you will love them.

The cables come in four lengths: 3’ (91.44 cm), 6’ (182.88 cm), 10’ (304.8 cm), and 15’ (457.2 cm). If you are wondering why anyone would want a 3’ cable, remember that with a wireless system the cables connecting the transmitter to the harp and the receiver to the amp are just as prone to losses as regular cables so replacing them with these high definition cables can make an important difference.
