The Loudbark Company was started with a single idea: If timber has been used for centuries to enhance the sound of musical instruments such as guitar, violin, cello, double bass, flute, recorder, pan pipes, didjeridoo and various kinds of drums, why can't it be used to make a microphone that enhances the sound of the harmonica?

So we went to work with the materials that we love, Australian Timbers.

While the search for suitable Timbers is never ending, we have some that add beautiful warm tones to the sound of a harp.

These include Australian Redgum from the Murray River Region, Blackheart Sassafrass from Tasmania, the very rare Jarrah from South Western Australia, Black Wattle from Southern Australia and our favourite timber for Mics, Australian Cypress from Northern Victoria.

Loudbark is an Australian Company based in Victoria that manufactures microphones from Australian timbers.

Timbers are chosen for both their physical beauty and their acoustic properties.

Tne design of our mic bodies and element cavities combines synergystically to provide maximum impact on the tonal quality while drastically reducing feedback.

Loudbark originally designed and built microphones specifically for harmonicas and brass instruments. Loudbark Mics also work well with Saxophones and Trumpets and many other instruments..

At Loudbark we are constantly improving our microphone design and construction and lately Loudbark Mics have also been used for vocals and vocal effects with great succcess.
