Overview

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.
