Shure Beta 52A Supercardioid Dynamic Kick Drum Microphone
The Shure BETA 52A is an expertly crafted, high-output dynamic microphone specifically designed to capture the powerful low-end and pronounced attack of kick drums and other bass instruments. At Palen Music Center, we know your rhythm section demands clarity and punch, and this mic delivers studio-quality sound even when subjected to extremely high sound pressure levels (SPLs). Its modified supercardioid polar pattern is tailored for maximum gain-before-feedback and superior rejection of off-axis noise, making it a reliable choice for both live performance and studio recording. For fast, hassle-free setup, the mic features a built-in dynamic locking stand adapter with an integral XLR connector, simplifying placement inside a kick drum. Constructed with an advanced pneumatic shock mount system and a hardened steel mesh grille, the BETA 52A is built ruggedly to withstand the rigors of touring and years of professional use, ensuring consistent, high-fidelity performance.
