Beta 52A : Worth its weight!

As a comparative newcomer to live sound, I'd taken guidance from both trusted experienced tour engineers plus read reviews here and elsewhere before purchasing.

Whilst there were almost as many mic choices as opinions (!) time and again people said that they included the Beta 52A as a reliable, go-to mic in their armoury.

Having used it a couple of dozen times on a kick drum in a live environment I can understand why - forgiving on placement, punchy, a huge amount of low end yet a decent amount of attack.

Most of the stages I've worked on have been small with front line monitors in close proximity to the mic - no problems with feedback however.

Like many Shure products, the high build quality gives you the confidence that not only are you working with a great mic but that it will last you for years.

Highly recommended.
