SUPERCARDIOID DYNAMIC INSTRUMENT

MICROPHONE

GENERAL

The Shure BETA 52®A is a high output dynamic microphone

with a tailored frequency response designed specically for kick fi

drums and other bass instruments. It provides superb attack and

“ ”punch, and delivers studio quality sound even at extremely high

sound pressure levels.

The BETA 52A features a modied supercardioid pattern through-fi

out its frequency range to insure high gain before feedback and

excellent rejection of unwanted sound. A builtin dynamic locking –

stand adapter with an integral XLR connector simplies installa-fi

tion, particularly if the microphone is to be placed inside a kick

drum. The stand adapter keeps the microphone 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 associated with touring.

MOUNTING THE BETA 52A ON A MICROPHONE STAND

The builtin stand adapter features a dynamic locking system –

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:

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

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

position as necessary.

Pivot the BETA 52A until it is in the desired position rela-

tive to the drum head or loudspeaker.

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.

If necessary, make minor adjustments to the microphone

position without loosening the adjustment knob.

Connect an audio cable to the integral XLR connector.
