Reviews/Ratings

Classic bass instrument/drum microphone

The Shure Beta 52A is a high output dynamic kick drum mic 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 drum microphone 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.

This is a great kick mic giving lots of body to the sound. It can take the high SPL's kick will make. Of course, where you put it will make all the difference so try different places. My drummer likes the sound when it's inside very close to where the beater hits for definition. Or at the port if you like more oomph. Rugged, durable, and good sound.
