Shure BETA 52A Kick Drum Microphone, Low-Frequency Bass Punch and SPL Handling

Capture the punch and presence of your kick drum with the Shure BETA 52A, a purpose-built professional microphone that puts the low end front and center. Designed for live sound, studio tracking and precise instrument monitoring, this dynamic microphone delivers a tailored 20 Hz–10 kHz frequency response and high SPL handling so transient attack and deep bass remain clear without distortion. Its modified supercardioid pattern minimizes stage bleed and provides excellent gain-before-feedback — a major benefit for busy stages and broadcast or surveillance monitoring environments that require focused pickup. Built for the rigors of touring and daily studio use, the Beta 52A features a hardened steel grille, pneumatic shock mount and neodymium magnet for high output and low noise. With standard XLR connectivity and a low 150-ohm impedance, it integrates seamlessly into professional consoles, PA systems and recording chains. Ideal for kick, bass cabinets and other low-frequency sources, the BETA 52A gives audio professionals a dependable, punchy sound. Add it to your rig for live shows, studio sessions or critical monitoring applications.
