Product Description

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 very good attack and “punch”, and delivers studio quality sound even at extremely high sound pressure levels. The BETA 52A includes a modified supercardioid pattern right through its frequency range to insure high gain-before-feedback and very good 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 helps to keep the microphone position fixed and resists slipping, even if subjected to sharp blows and strong vibrations. A hardened steel mesh grille protects the BETA 52A from the abuse and wear associated with touring.

Designed specifically for kick drums and other bass instruments, the Shure Beta 52A high-output dynamic microphone provides very good attack and “punch”, and delivers studio quality sound even at extremely high sound pressure levels. A successor to the preferred Beta 52, the 52A includes a redesigned knob and tightening mechanism for more durability and a much wider mounting base that may accommodate a larger range of mic stands.
