Shure BETA 91A Kick Drum Microphone
Get ready to capture the true power and clarity of your kick drum with the Shure BETA 91A. Engineered specifically for low-frequency instruments, this microphone delivers studio-quality sound even at the highest sound pressure levels. It’s the ideal choice for musicians and engineers who demand punch, presence, and precision in every beat.
Tailored for Low Frequencies
The BETA 91A’s frequency response is finely tuned to suit kick drums and other bass-heavy instruments like pianos. This ensures that every thump and rumble comes through rich and dynamic — not muddy or lost in the mix. Its wide dynamic range makes it ready for intense, high SPL environments without distortion.
Innovative Design for Easy Setup
With a precision-engineered low-profile design, the BETA 91A integrates a preamplifier and an XLR connector right into the mic body. This reduces stage clutter and simplifies setup, letting you focus on performance instead of cables and mounts. Plus, no external mounting or accessories are required, making it easy to use and store.
Versatile Sound Shaping
This microphone offers a two-position contour switch so you can dial in the perfect sound. Choose a flat response for a natural, authentic tone or activate the ‘low-mid scoop’ setting to emphasize a powerful low-end punch with sharp high-frequency attack. This flexibility lets you adapt to various playing styles and recording needs effortlessly.
