Premium Kick Drum Mic!
How low can you go? With the Beta 52A, it's pretty darn low. This microphone specially designed for all kinds of bass, from kick drums to bass guitars. The Beta 52A will make your bass BOOM instead of getting lost in a swampy thud. The frequency response is 20Hz to 10kHz, and the mic is built to withstand the daily abuse of road work. Its supercardioid pattern aids isolation and it can handle up to 174dB SPL. For big bass sounds on stage or in the studio, it's the Beta 52A.

Shure Beta 52A at a Glance:
  • Amazing Kick Stage Mic
  • Great for Studio Work
  • Rugged Reliability

Amazing Kick Stage Mic
The supercardioidcardioid pickup pattern limits interference from other on-stage sound sources and reduces feedback. The frequency response is perfectly tailored for bass instruments with a 20Hz to 10kHz frequency response with a presence boost at 4kHz to let electric basses and kick drums cut through the mix.

Great for Studio Work
In the studio, the Beta 52A excels on low-frequency sound sources. Supercardioid mics have a tendency toward increased proximity effect. Since the Beta 52A sports a supercardioid pickup pattern, positioning the mic closer to sound sources results in a bigger bottom-end response. This is great for tailoring the sound for the specific project.

Rugged Reliability
Like all Shure mics, the Beta 52A is built like a tank, meaning that you can travel with it from gig to gig and rest assured that it will last. Shure mics are famous for their bulletproof construction, and the Beta 52 is no exception. Night after night, the Beta 52A will perform!

Shure Beta 52A Features:
  • Perfect for kick drum and other low frequency information
  • 20Hz to 10kHz, presence boost at 4kHz
  • Strong proximity effect for tonal variation
  • Supercardioid pickup pattern for excellent isolation
  • Max SPL: 174dB

Shure Beta 52A - Great kick and bass sounds on stage or in the studio!

Sweetwater Expert Advice
 
  "I've seen and heard of a lot of crazy techniques to try to get a good kick drum sound. 'Put three mics here and two mics there,' 'build a tunnel,' 'take the head off,' 'put the head back on but drill a hole in it!' But I'll tell you, some of the best kick sounds that I've heard have been from a good drummer in a good room with a single Shure Beta 52 right in front of the drum."
