Shure Beta 56A Dynamic Lo Z Instrument SuperCardioid Microphone

The Shure Beta 56®A stands as a purpose-built microphone engineered specifically for the demanding world of drums and amplified instruments. This professional-grade dynamic microphone features a carefully tailored frequency response that captures the full character of percussion, guitar amplifiers, brass, and woodwind instruments with exceptional studio-quality sound reproduction.

At the heart of the Beta 56A’s design is its uniform supercardioid pickup pattern, which provides superior gain-before-feedback performance while effectively rejecting unwanted off-axis noise and stage bleed. The microphone’s compact form factor helps reduce stage clutter, whilst the hardened steel mesh grille ensures durability under the rigours of live performance conditions.

Installation and setup are streamlined through the built-in dynamic locking stand adapter, which incorporates an integral XLR connector for maximum flexibility. This innovative mounting system keeps the microphone securely positioned even when subjected to accidental strikes from drumsticks or other stage mishaps. Additional professional features include a neodymium magnet for high signal-to-noise ratio output, advanced pneumatic shock mounting to minimise mechanical noise transmission, and consistent performance across varying load impedances.
