The BETA 52A Brings Thunderous Low-End Presence

To capture your kick drum's room-shaking depth, the DMK57-52 provides Shure's BETA 52A large-diaphragm dynamic mic. Meticulously engineered to reinforce the most powerful lows, the BETA 52A ensures your kick drum anchors the groove with tight, focused punch. Its own built-in shockmount helps suppress any resonance from the kick's booming low frequencies. You'll achieve a massive, controlled sound that makes your kick the rhythmic bedrock of the track.
