Capture the power of your kick drum. Inspired by Shure’s famed Beta 52, the Shure PGA 52 Kick Drum Microphone brings uncompromising performance to everyone. Tuned to gently boost the deep-bass and high-mid frequencies, it helps kicks cut through the mix without EQ.
Built to handle loud sounds, the PGA52’s slender design will sit right inside your kick, harnessing the energy resonating throughout the drum. And adjustments are easy. The swivel joint lets you angle the mic, then the quick-release lever locks it securely in place. Big and punchy is quick and simple.
Find the perfect tone. Getting the right kick sound is about experimenting. It’s about capturing different qualities of the drum. But many affordable drum mics aren’t responsive – no matter where you place them, they just sound lifeless and flat. That’s why Shure created the PGA52. It’s able to reproduce the full spectrum of kick drum sounds, from deep and muffled to tight and clicky, and everything in between. If you need more thump, simply move the PGA52 further into the drum. Due to its sensitivity to bass frequencies, you’ll hear a pleasing lift in the low end. If you need more bite, simply angle the mic towards the beater. The PGA52’s transient response will preserve the attack of every hit.
For instruments with depth, to capture bass-heavy instruments, you need a microphone with an accurate bass response. Which is why so many producers use kick drum mics on sounds where low end is a priority. Trombones, bass amps, and cajons will sound deep and full with the PGA52, with enough top-end detail for definition and clarity too. As with most Shure mics, the PGA52 is versatile. Try putting it in front of different instruments – you never know what you might find.
Undisputed durability. Shure builds the most reliable microphones in the world. The PGA52 Kick Drum Microphone has been rigorously tested to make sure it can handle almost any environment. It has survived heat, cold, humidity, and the ‘Shure drop test’. With its robust metallic finish, the PGA52 is built to survive life on the road.
