Shure BETA 56A Microphone Instrument Dynamic Lo Z Mic BETA56A
Shure SM56A Instrument Dynamic Microphone
Product Information:
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.
