Shure Beta 52A Dynamic Kick Drum Microphone

The Shure Beta 52A is a professional-grade dynamic microphone specifically engineered for kick drums, bass amps, and low-frequency instruments. Designed for live stage and studio use, the Beta 52A delivers studio-quality sound even at extremely high sound pressure levels (SPL), making it a top choice for drummers and bassists worldwide.

Featuring a tailored frequency response from 20Hz to 10kHz, with a pronounced presence boost at 4kHz, this microphone ensures that your bass instruments cut through the mix with punch and clarity. Its supercardioid pickup pattern offers excellent isolation from ambient noise, providing high gain before feedback and superior off-axis noise rejection, ideal for noisy stage environments.

Built to endure the rigors of touring and heavy studio use, the Beta 52A includes a hardened steel mesh grille for maximum durability and an advanced pneumatic shock mount system to reduce mechanical noise and handling vibration. The integrated dynamic locking stand adapter with an XLR connector simplifies setup, especially when placing the mic inside a kick drum.

Additional features include a neodymium magnet for high signal-to-noise ratio output, low sensitivity to varying load impedance, and the legendary Shure build quality known for reliability and long-lasting performance.
