Product Description

The Shure BETA 52A-X is engineered to capture the deep, powerful sound of kick drums and bass instruments. Its tailored frequency response delivers strong low-end impact and enhanced attack, helping bass instruments stand out clearly in a mix.

Featuring a modified supercardioid pickup pattern, the microphone provides excellent rejection of unwanted sound and high gain before feedback. Its integrated locking stand adapter and built-in XLR connector make positioning easy, including inside a kick drum. The rugged die-cast metal body, hardened steel mesh grille, and internal pneumatic shock mount are designed to withstand demanding stage and studio environments.

Whether used for live sound reinforcement or studio recording, the BETA 52A-X offers reliable performance for capturing powerful bass sounds.
