Shure BETA56A Supercardioid Swivel-Mount Dynamic Instrument Microphone
Availability:
In StockAvailable for shipment within one business day, or pickup from our Jamaica, NY warehouse during regular business hours.
Description
The Shure Beta 56A 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.
Features:
- Tailored frequency response provides drums, amplified instruments, and horns with studio quality sound
- Built–in stand adapter with dynamic locking system and XLR connector simplifies setup and provides greater flexibility
- Uniform supercardioid pattern for high gain-before-feedback and superior rejection of off–axis sound
- Compact design reduces stage clutter
- Hardened steel mesh grille resists wear and abuse
- Neodymium magnet for high signal–to–noise ratio output
- Minimally affected by varying load impedance
- Advanced pneumatic shock mount system that minimizes transmission of mechanical noise and vibration
- Legendary Shure quality and reliability
| Type | Dynamic (moving coil) |
| Frequency Response | 50 to 16,000 Hz |
| Polar Pattern | Supercardioid, rotationally symmetrical about microphone axis, uniform with frequency |
| Output Level (at 1,000 Hz) | Open Circuit Voltage -51 dBV/Pa (2.8 mV) (1 Pa = 94 dB SPL) |
| Impedance | Rated impedance is 150 ohms (290 ohms actual) for connection to microphone inputs rated low Z |
| Polarity | Positive pressure on diaphragm produces positive voltage on pin 2 with respect to pin 3 |
| Connector | Three-pin professional audio connector (male XLR type) |
| Case | Silver blue enamel-painted die cast metal with hardened, matte-finished steel mesh grille |
| Adjustable, Locking Stand Adapter | Integral, dynamic locking, adjustable through 180 degrees with standard 5/8"-27 thread |
| Net Weight | 468 grams (16.7 oz) |
