Description The Shure Beta 52A is a high-output dynamic microphone with a tailored frequency response designed specifically for kick drums and other low-frequency instruments. It provides incredible attack and "punch," delivering studio-quality sound even at extremely high sound pressure levels (SPL) Featuring a modified supercardioid pattern, the Beta 52A ensures high gain-before-feedback and excellent isolation from other on-stage sound sources. The microphone includes a built-in dynamic locking stand adapter with an integral XLR connector to simplify setup, especially when placed inside a kick drum. Its rugged hardened steel mesh grille and pneumatic shock mount system protect against the wear of touring while minimizing mechanical noise and vibration
