SUPERCARDIOID DYNAMIC

INSTRUMENT MICROPHONE

GENERAL

The Shure BETA 52



A is a high output dynamic microphone

with a tailored frequency response designed specifically for

kick drums and other bass instruments. It provides superb at-

tack and “punch,” and delivers studio quality sound even at ex-

tremely high sound pressure levels.

The BETA 52A features a modified supercardioid pattern

throughout its frequency range to insure high gain before feed-

back and excellent rejection of unwanted sound. A built–in dy-

namic 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 micro-

phone 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 associ-

ated with touring.

FEATURES

• Frequency response shaped specifically for kick drums and

bass instruments

• Built–in dynamic locking stand adapter with integral XLR

connector simplifies setup, especially inside a kick drum

• Studio quality performance, even at extremely high sound

pressure levels

• Supercardioid pattern for high gain before feedback and

superior rejection of unwanted noise

• Low sensitivity to varying load impedance

• Legendary Shure quality and reliability

APPLICATIONS AND PLACEMENT

The most common BETA 52A applications and placement

techniques are listed in the following table. Keep in mind that

microphone technique is largely a matter of personal taste–

there is no one “correct” microphone position.

MOUNTING THE BETA 52A ON A MICROPHONE STAND

The built–in stand adapter features a dynamic locking sys-

tem that permits adjustments to the microphone’s position, but

resists slipping when struck or bumped. To mount the BETA

52A on a stand and adjust its position, proceed as follows:

1. Screw the integral stand adapter onto the end of a micro-

phone stand (see Figure 3). Adjust the stand height and

position as necessary.

2. Pivot the BETA 52A until it is in the desired position relative

to the drum head or loudspeaker.

3. Lock the BETA 52A in place by rotating the adjustment

knob on the stand adapter clockwise until it is tight. Do NOT

overtighten the knob with tools.

4. If necessary, make minor adjustments to the microphone

position without loosening the adjustment knob.

5. Connect an audio cable to the integral XLR connector.
