Supercardioid Dynamic Instrument Microphone, 50 to 16,000Hz Frequency Response
Series: Shure
Model: BETA 56A
- Tailored frequency response provides drums, amplified instruments, and horns with studio quality sound
- Uniform supercardioid pattern for high gain before feedback and superior rejection of off-axis sound
- Compact design reduces stage clutter
- Hardened steel mesh grill resists wear and abuse
- Neodymium magnet for high signal-to-noise ratio output
The Shure Beta 56®A 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.
