The Shure BETA 52®A 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.
