Microphones

Compact cardioid dynamic instrument microphone for drums and percussion, also suitable for brass and woodwind. Its reinforced glass-fibre body and integral stand mount support close instrument placement.

Supercardioid electret condenser microphone for drum overheads, percussion and instrument recording. Its compact design and extended high-frequency response suit detailed transient capture.

A dynamic kick-drum microphone for a strong low end and a clear beater attack, also suitable for bass cabinets. The Shure BETA 52A combines a frequency response tailored to bass instruments with a supercardioid pickup pattern to reduce unwanted sound from the sides. Use the integrated locking stand adapter to aim the microphone. Move it closer to the beater head for more attack or farther away for more resonance, keeping it clear of the drumhead and internal damping. Connect the balanced XLR output to a microphone input; no phantom power is required. This listing is for the BETA 52A microphone. A stand, cable and other accessories are not automatically included.

A low-profile boundary microphone for a defined kick-drum attack and full low-frequency sound, also suitable for piano. The Shure BETA 91A has a half-cardioid pickup pattern above its mounting surface, an integrated preamplifier and a standard balanced XLR output. For kick drum, place it inside the drum on a pillow or another cushioning surface and adjust the position to balance attack and resonance. The underside contour switch offers a flat response or a low-mid cut for a more pronounced kick-drum sound. Connect it with a balanced XLR microphone cable to an input with phantom power; 48 V is recommended. This listing is for the microphone; cabling and other accessories are not automatically included.

A wired vocal microphone for singers, presenters and spoken-word events. The Shure SM58 combines a cardioid pickup pattern with a vocal-focused frequency response, a built-in pop filter and a shock-mounted dynamic capsule to reduce handling noise. Work close to the grille for a fuller vocal sound, keep the grille clear of your hand and aim the microphone away from loudspeakers. Connect its balanced XLR output to a microphone input on your mixer or audio interface; the dynamic capsule does not require phantom power. This listing is for the microphone. Add the microphone stand and cabling needed for your setup to your enquiry; accessories are not automatically included.
