If you're looking to step into the world of professional sound but need to watch your budget, check out Shure PG ALTA™ microphones. PG ALTA mics combine Shure engineering excellence, durability, and great sound. Best of all, you'll find a model for almost any application – studio, home recording, or live venue.

Catch the bass

Shure's PGA52 dynamic microphone captures all the impact and punch of a kick drum or bass amp, with a response curve that really accentuates the lows. This rugged mic uses an internal shock mount to cut down on unwanted noise. The PGA52 also features a built-in swivel stand mount with a clever quick-release lever that makes positioning a snap. The cardioid polar pattern rejects off-axis sound and resists feedback.

Product Research

Features

Overview: The Shure PG ALTA PGA 52 is a professional quality microphone that is designed for kick drums, bass amps, and other low-frequency performance and recording. It features an integrated mount with a 180° swivel joint and quick release lever for fast and easy positioning. The PGA 52 comes with a zippered storage pouch. No cables are included.

Pickup Pattern: The PGA 52 has a cardioid polar pattern, which reduces feedback and rejects unwanted background noise. The tailored microphone cartridge is designed specifically for low-frequency clarity.

Construction: The microphone has an industrial design with a black metallic finish and grille for an unobtrusive visual presence. The black reinforced mesh grille protects the cartridge from damage, and can be replaced if needed.

Mounting: The PGA 52 comes with an integrated swiveling mount with a 5/8" thread. The mount lets you tilt the microphone forward or backward over 180°. It has a quick-release lever that is similar to bicycle component-locking latches that allows you to quickly and easily position the microphone.

Connector: The Shure PGA 52 has a 3-pin male XLR connector. No microphone cable is included in this package.

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
