Classic bass instrument/drum microphone

The Shure Beta 52A is a high output dynamic kick drum mic 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. This drum microphone 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.

Features:

  • Frequency response shaped specifically for kick drums and bass instruments
  • Built–in dynamic locking stand adapter with integral XLR connector simplifies setup, especially inside a kick drum.
  • Studio quality performance, even at extremely high sound pressure levels

I have several kick drum mics and each of them has their unique voice. This mic however is usually my starting point when setting up a stage with a client. It provides a versatile warmth without sacrificing the attack. I'd recommend this mic as your first purchase.
