Unlike your average kick mic, the Beta 52A is designed to capture super-low sub frequencies while still providing a punchy midrange. With a gentle top end boost, this microphone delivers fully formed drum tones without the need for extensive EQ adjustments. That’s why you’ll find the Beta 52A used in venues worldwide – it’s the go-to mic for achieving the perfect kick sound quickly.
Included in the box is the Beta 52A Kick Drum Microphone, a storage bag, and a 5/8″ to 3/8″ thread adapter.

Its dent-resistant steel grille and virtually unbreakable construction make it durable for any live performance or recording situation. The supercardioid polar pattern greatly reduces bleed from other instruments, ensuring a clean and focused sound. The neodymium magnet provides greater sensitivity and higher output, while the advanced shock mount system eliminates vibration noise.
