Detailed description
- The Beta 52A is a top-of-the-line standard microphone for the bass drum. It combines low-end punch with a punchy attack. Even extremely high volumes are reproduced without distortion.
- Why is the Beta 52A a standard for the bass drum?
- What other special features does the Beta 52A have?
- Can the Beta 52A also be used on other instruments?
- Tip: Beta 52A in combination with the Beta 91A
- Sound engineers particularly favor using the Beta 52A in combination with the Beta 91A. The Beta 91A is mounted inside the bass drum (for maximum attack), while the Beta 52A is mounted outside (for maximum punch).
- Also available as a complete set with three SM57s

The Beta 52A is a high-quality, top-of-the-line dynamic bass drum microphone. It combines powerful low-end punch with a punchy kick—without even needing to adjust the EQ on the mixing console. This makes work easier both live and in the studio.
The adjustable stand adapter with an integrated XLR connector makes mounting incredibly easy—both in front of and inside a bass drum. The very uniform supercardioid polar pattern effectively suppresses background noise, such as from the snare, toms, or cymbals, and significantly reduces the risk of feedback. The Beta 52A features an extremely robust metal construction with a hardened steel grille.
Yes, especially on low-frequency instruments such as a bass. It doesn’t matter whether it’s an electric or acoustic bass.
The Beta 52A is also available as the DMK57-52 Drum Kit Set, which includes a total of three SM57s, three matching A56D mounts, and a convenient carrying case.
