Shure PGA52 Cardioid Dynamic Kick Drum Microphone

Achieve professional clarity with the PGA52 Cardioid Dynamic Kick Drum Microphone from Shure. This mic is ideal for kick drum miking and capturing low-frequency audio either live on stage or in the recording studio. Its industrial design boasts a black metallic finish and grille, allowing it to visually blend into any environment. Its cartridge is precision-engineered for low-frequency clarity, while its cardioid polar pattern efficiently “aims” at the desired sound source while minimizing pickup of unwanted noise from the back and sides.

The PGA52 comes with a swivel joint with a quick release latch, which allows for quick and easy positioning of the microphone. Also included in the box is a zippered pouch for safe transport and secure storage. The PGA52 is available with or without a 4.57m XLR cable (see options).
