Shure BETA 91A Half-Cardioid Condenser Microphone

The Shure Beta 91A is designed for use with kick drums, piano and other traditional low frequency applications. An updated microphone capsule is tailored for bass-heavy environments to produce a powerful low frequency response, and a new design integrates the preamplifier and XLR connection for easy setup and minimal stage clutter. The Beta 91A combines superior attack and punch for studio-quality sound, even at extremely high sound pressure levels (SPLs).
