Best bass mic I ever heard

We played at a huge indoor venue in North Carolina and my direct out on my SVT IV went down. The engineer hooked up Shure 52 and I was blown away!!! True to live speaker response reproduction! My bandmates all commented on how clear it sounded!

WOW!

Couldn't believe how much bottom end I got with this mic when using it on kick this weekend. It had so much bottom end. I had so much thickness at 47hHz when used with a Pearl Masters 22x18 kick. Paired with a Royer R101 on the outside, I had a killer kick sound!

I'm definitely adding one of these to my arsenal. Might have just found my new go-to kick mic!

Great on Kick or Bass Cab

The Beta 52A is one a true bargain. It is solid and it sounds great.
It handles high SPL without distortion and when placed properly it
can reproduce the source with punch and detail without undue color.
This mic is the counterpoint of the AKG D112, which to me is more
about a tight attack than a full spectrum reproduction of the source.
It is one of my favorites on bass cabinets.

Our Customers Say...

“I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!”
