Description
The Shure Beta 91A microphone for kick drum provides a strong low-end response and maximum gain-before-feedback due to its half-cardioid polar pattern. It features a two-position contour switch to maximize attack and clarity and a low-profile design.
You know what a killer kick drum is. Well the beta 91A is precision engineered to deliver that sound. Calibrated to capture the depth and clarity you hear on explosive modern recordings. The Beta 91A is a gamechanger.
A premium condenser capsule accurately responds to everything from 20Hz to 20kHz. Giving you the energy and articulation that is simply missing in dynamic microphones. There’s even a tone switch, letting you choose between two different flavours – full bodied or scooped. So you can say goodbye to fixing boxy kick drums in the mix.
And thanks to a finely tuned frequency response, the Beta 91A will harness that top end attack and low-end thump you love to feel. Give your music backbone.
What is the Shure Beta 91A Microphone best suited to?
The primary use of the Beta 91A is kick drums. It can also be used for other low frequency applications including piano.
What are the characteristics of the Shure Beta 91A Microphone?
The Beta 91A is a half cardioid condenser boundary microphone. You can expect a strong low end response as it is specifically tailored for bass frequency applications, and superior attack and punch for studio quality sound even at extremely high sound pressure levels (SPL).
What is the difference between the Beta 91A and the Beta 91?
The Beta 91A features a new and updated microphone capsule. The new capsule will result in a more natural high frequency response than the Beta 91.
Shure Beta 91A Microphone Features:
- Uniform half-cardioid polar pattern for maximum gain-before-feedback and rejection of off-axis sound
- Precision-engineered low-profile design features integrated preamplifier and XLR connector to maximize setup efficiency while minimizing stage clutter
- Frequency response tailored for kick drum/low frequency applications with a wide dynamic range for use in high SPL environments
- Two-position contour switch to maximize attack and clarity depending on application – select the flat response setting for natural sound in most applications or the “low-mid scoop” setting for a strong low frequency “punch” with plenty of higher frequency attack
- Requires no external mounting
