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 superb attack and "punch", and delivers studio quality sound even at extremely high sound pressure levels. The Beta 52A 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.

  • Frequency response shaped specifically for kick drums and bass instruments

  • Studio quality performance, even at extremely high sound pressure levels

5Love this mic  Jan 14, 2010
By Lynn Breaux "www.lynnbreaux.com"
I love this mic. I use it in a kick and although I'm a big fan of a 57 in the kick, there are sounds I can get with the 52 that I can't get from anything else. Use it to mic a little line6 lowdown for bass guitar and you will be really impressed with the recorded sound. I've actually used it on a 15watt 8 inch guitar amp with a 57 and can dial in any sound I want.

5Great sound  Apr 17, 2006
By Edgar Ulises Barrera Flores
Ideal for kick drum and bass guitar, i found that i can use it to record guitar amplifiers with a very deep bassy scary sound. I had tried other brands of this tipe of mic and i can ashure you that this is a great investment

5Awsome Sound  Mar 03, 2005
By David Cleaver
I used one of these mics for the first time last month. I played a live show that was also recorded. The sound quality was Awesome!!! Both live and recorded. I reccomend this product to any drummer who is looking for the punch and attack but balenced with great warmth and presence.
