Shure Beta 56A Dynamic Lo Z Instrument SuperCardioid Mic

Studio-Quality Sound for Drums and Instruments

The Shure Beta 56A is a dynamic low-impedance supercardioid microphone engineered for close-miking drums, percussion, and instruments, delivering studio-quality sound with exceptional clarity and punch. Ideal for professional musicians and sound engineers in Australia, its tailored frequency response and compact design make it perfect for capturing snares, toms, guitar amplifiers, brass, and woodwinds in both live and studio settings. The Beta 56A’s rugged build ensures reliability, even in the most demanding environments.

Tailored Audio Performance

The Beta 56A features a uniform supercardioid polar pattern, providing high gain-before-feedback and superior rejection of off-axis noise, ensuring focused audio capture in noisy stage environments. Its frequency response (50 Hz – 16 kHz) is specifically tailored for drums and instruments, with a presence boost that enhances attack and clarity. The neodymium magnet delivers a high signal-to-noise ratio, while the advanced pneumatic shock mount minimizes mechanical noise and vibration, making it ideal for precise sound reinforcement.

Durable and Flexible Design

Built with Shure’s legendary durability, the Beta 56A features a hardened steel mesh grille to resist wear and abuse, paired with a die-cast metal body for long-lasting performance. The built-in dynamic locking stand adapter with an integral XLR connector simplifies setup, securely holding the microphone in place even if struck by a drumstick. The compact, pivoting design reduces stage clutter and allows easy positioning in tight setups, making it a favorite for drummers and sound engineers.
