Shure Beta 52A
Supercardioid Dynamic Microphone
The Shure Beta 52A is a high output dynamic microphone with a tailored frequency response designed specifically for kick drums and other bass instruments. It is capable of handling extremely high sound pressure levels.
The Beta 52A features a modified supercardioid pattern throughout its frequency range to insure high gain-before-feedback and excellent rejection of unwanted sound. A built-in dynamic locking stand adapter with an integral XLR connector simplifies installation, particularly if the microphone is to be placed inside a kick drum. The stand adapter keeps the microphone position fixed and resists slipping, even when subjected to sharp blows and strong vibrations. A hardened steel mesh grille protects the Beta 52A from the abuse and wear associated with touring.
The Beta 52A was introduced in October 2002, as a revision of the Beta 52 microphone. The sound of the two models is identical. The ‘A’ revision affected the construction of the integrated mic clip.
The moving-coil capsule inside the large basket measures just over 1'' in diameter.
The Shure Beta 52A is also known as: Beta 52A, Beta52A, Beta52, Beta-52.
The mic was released in 2002.
