Description
Shure Beta 52A Dynamic Kick Bass Drum Microphone Mic
The Shure BETA®52A is a
high output dynamic microphone with a tailored frequency response designed
specifically for kick drums and other bass instruments. It provides superb
attack and "punch", and delivers studio quality sound even at
extremely high sound pressure levels.
The Beta 52A features a
modified supercardioid pattern throughout its frequency range to insure high
gain-before-feedback and excellent rejection of unwanted sound. A built in
dynamic locking stand adapter with an integral XLR connector simplifies
installation, particularly if the microphone is to be placed inside a kick
drum. The stand adapter keeps the microphone position fixed and resists
slipping, even when subjected to sharp blows and strong vibrations. A hardened
steel mesh grille protects the Beta 52A from the abuse and wear associated with
touring.
