About the Shure Beta 52A Kick Drum

The Shure Beta 52A Kick Drum is a supercardioid dynamic microphone whose frequency response is tailored to kick drums and other bass instruments; Shure highlights its attack and punch. It is meant for sound engineers, bands and productions that need to mic a drum kit. If you need one for specific dates, Peak Entertainment offers Shure Beta 52A Kick Drum rental in Madrid and across Spain, so there is no need to buy one.

What it is rented for

It works for concerts, festivals, tours, rehearsals or recording sessions where a kick drum or another low-frequency source needs miking. Its built-in locking stand adapter with integral XLR connector makes it easy to position, especially inside the kick drum, and keeps it in place even under hard hits and strong vibration. The supercardioid pattern helps reject unwanted sound. If you are putting together a full drum-mic setup, you could round it out with other microphones and mic stands from the catalogue. Ask what is included when you request a quote and availability.
