The Shure Beta 52A is a precision-engineered dynamic microphone designed specifically to capture the "attack" and "punch" of a kick drum and other high-SPL bass instruments like bass amplifiers. Its tailored frequency response (20 Hz–10 kHz) is optimized with a bass boost for powerful low-end punch and a presence boost around 4 kHz to accentuate the beater's attack, providing a sound that is often ready for the mix with minimal equalization.
