About the Shure BETA 52A
High output BETA Series mics
High output BETA Series mics
Shure has been setting the standard for audio for over 80 years. They engineered their BETA® Series mics to provide powerful output and resistance to feedback, and their rugged construction ensures they'll stand up to the tough conditions you'll find on the road.
Built for the kick drum
The locking stand adapter makes it easy to place the BETA 52A.
Shure designed the BETA 52A to capture the full attack and punch of kick drums and other bass instruments, even when sound presure levels are high. The mic's modified supercardioid pattern rejects unwanted sound and limits feedback issues. The BETA 52A is built like a tank, with a hardened steel mesh grille, a locking stand adapter, and an integrated XLR connector.
