Shure BETA 52A Kick Drum Microphone

The Shure BETA 52A is a high-output dynamic microphone engineered for kick drums and other bass instruments, making it an essential tool for both live performances and studio recordings. Renowned for its ability to deliver superb attack and punch, the BETA 52A ensures studio-quality sound even under extremely high sound pressure levels. Whether you're on stage or in the studio, this microphone's performance remains uncompromised, offering superior sound capture capabilities that are second to none.

Designed with a modified supercardioid pattern, the BETA 52A offers high gain-before-feedback and exceptional rejection of unwanted noise, ensuring the clarity and purity of your recordings. One of its standout features is the built-in dynamic locking stand adapter with an integral XLR connector, which simplifies installation inside a kick drum. The ergonomic adapter keeps the microphone stable, even under heavy vibrations or sharp blows, making it a reliable choice for touring musicians. The hardened steel mesh grille further enhances the microphone's durability, protecting it from the wear and tear associated with frequent use on the road.

Featuring an advanced pneumatic shock mount system, the BETA 52A minimizes transmission of mechanical noise and vibrations, delivering clean and uninterrupted sound. The inclusion of a neodymium magnet contributes to its high signal-to-noise ratio output, while its low sensitivity to varying load impedances ensures consistent performance. All these elements combine to embody the legendary Shure quality and reliability that professional musicians and sound engineers have trusted for decades.
