The Shure BETA 52A is a supercardioid dynamic microphone engineered exclusively for kick drum and low-frequency instrument capture in live sound, broadcast, and studio environments. Introduced in 2000 as an evolution of the original Beta 52 (1996), it features a neodymium magnet, built-in dynamic locking stand adapter, and sculpted frequency response—delivering thunderous low-end punch, crisp beater attack, and exceptional isolation. Its rugged, integrated design and pneumatic shock mount make it the industry standard for modern kick drum tones, from tight rock clicks to deep hip-hop thumps.
