Beta 52A

The Shure Beta 52A stands out as a pinnacle in drum microphone technology, specifically tailored for delivering unparalleled low-frequency bass punch and handling high SPL levels. This dynamic microphone is equipped with a range of features to ensure optimal performance in demanding scenarios. The inclusion of a dynamic locking stand adapter with an integral XLR connector simplifies setup, particularly when placing the microphone inside a kick drum. This design not only facilitates ease of installation but also keeps the microphone securely in place, resisting slipping even when subjected to sharp blows and strong vibrations. The steel mesh grille, built with durability in mind, protects the Beta 52A from the rigors of touring, ensuring longevity and consistent high-quality sound reproduction.

The Beta 52A’s studio-quality performance shines through, delivering superb attack and punch, even at extremely high sound pressure levels. Its supercardioid pattern provides high gain before feedback, making it an excellent choice for live performances. The advanced pneumatic shock mount system minimizes the transmission of mechanical noise and vibrations, further enhancing the microphone’s ability to capture the pure essence of kick drums and bass instruments. With a neodymium magnet contributing to a high signal-to-noise ratio and low sensitivity to varying load impedance, the Beta 52A embodies legendary Shure quality and reliability, making it an indispensable tool for drummers and audio professionals alike.
