Shure PG56-XLR Cardioid Dynamic Snare/Tom Microphone, XLR to XLR

The Shure PG56-XLR Cardioid Dynamic Snare/Tom Microphone is the ultimate choice for drummers and percussionists seeking professional-quality audio capture with unparalleled durability. This microphone is meticulously designed for close-mic applications, making it ideal for snare drums and toms. Its rugged construction and exceptional sound quality ensure that it can withstand the rigors of any performance or recording session. The PG56-XLR is equipped with an internal shock mount to minimize handling noise and a tailored frequency response that's specifically tuned for drum applications.

One of the standout features of the PG56-XLR is its cardioid polar pattern, which captures sound predominantly from the front while picking up minimal audio from the sides. This reduces the likelihood of feedback in high-volume environments, allowing you to perform with confidence. Additionally, the dynamic cartridge features a neodymium magnet for high output levels without distortion, even when exposed to extreme volume. The microphone's integral stand mount and swivel joint make it easy to position exactly where you need it. Packaged with a 15ft XLR cable, a durable storage bag, and an A50D drum mount, the Shure PG56-XLR offers everything you need for superior drum miking.
