The Shure BETA 56AÂ is a dynamic instrument microphone designed for general instrument recording and sound reinforcement applications. The microphone features a tailored frequency response custom made for capturing toms, snare drums, guitar and bass amplifiers, brass, woodwinds, and more.
The BETA 56A has a supercardioid polar pattern, which provides high gain before feedback and excellent rejection of unwanted noise. The capsule’s Neodymium magnet offers maximum audio gain while providing a very-low noise floor. A built-in stand mount provides quick and easy microphone placement.
