The Shure Beta 56A is a super cardioid pattern dynamic mic that features a wide mounting base capable of accommodating a large range of microphone stands. The Beta 56A's 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. Specifically engineered for drum and instrument applications, the Beta 56A's compact, pivoting design makes it the ideal choice for these applications.
