Specifically engineered for drum and instrument applications, the Beta 56's compact, pivoting design makes it the ideal choice for these applications.
Its extremely uniform supercardioid pickup pattern provides high gain before feedback and excellent rejection of unwanted noise. A built-in dynamic locking stand adapter with an integral XLR connector simplifies installation. The stand adapter keeps the microphone securely in place, even if it is struck by a drumstick. Typical Beta 56 applications include close miking of tom-toms and other percussion instruments, as well as guitar amplifiers, brass instruments, and woodwinds.
Who should use this Microphone?
Mostly drummers, but it can be used for instruments as well. Use it for the snare drum, congas, rack/floor toms as well as guitar/bass amps, brass, and saxophone.
