Specifications

About this product

Product Description The Shure BETA 56A microphone has a frequency response specifically tailored for drums and instruments. Its extremely uniform supercardioid pickup pattern provides high gain-before-feedback and excellent rejection of unwanted noise. A built-in dynamic locking stand adapter with an integral XLR connector simplifies installation. The stand adapter keeps the microphone securely in place, even if it is struck by a drumstick. Typical BETA 56A applications include close miking of tom-toms and other percussion instruments, as well as guitar amplifiers, brass instruments, and woodwinds. Amazon.com Featuring a frequency response specifically tailored for drums and instruments, the Shure Beta 56A microphone offers an extremely uniform supercardioid pickup pattern that provides high gain-before-feedback and excellent rejection of unwanted noise. A successor to the popular Beta 56, the 56A features a redesigned knob and tightening mechanism for more durability and a wider mounting base that can accommodate a larger range of mic stands.
