Shure Beta 91A Condenser Kick Drum Microphone
Shure Beta 91A Condenser Kick Drum Microphone provides amazing quality of sound and is a great choice for studio recording or live perfomances. Recognized for their superior low handling noise and high gain feedback. Beta Microphones redefine a sensitivity and control for expert sound reinforcement.
General Description
The Shure Beta 91A is designed for use with kick drums, piano and other traditional low frequency applications. Tailored for bass-heavy environments, this microphone features a powerful low frequency response and integrated 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).
Features:
- Premier live performance microphone with Shure quality, ruggedness, and reliability
- Uniform half-cardioid polar pattern (in the hemisphere above mounting surface) for maximum gain before feedback and rejection of off-axis sound
- Tailored frequency response for kick drums and bass-heavy instruments
- Wide dynamic range for use in high SPL environments
- Two-position contour switch enhances attack and clarity
- Integrated preamp and XLR connector reduce stage clutter and provide a quick, secure setup
- Low profile design requires no external mounting hardware
- Steel grille and die-cast metal construction resist wear and abuse
Applications
General Rules for Use
This table lists the most common applications and placement techniques. Keep in mind that microphone technique is largely a matter of personal taste; there is no one “correct” microphone position.
- Aim the microphone toward the desired sound source; angle unwanted sounds toward its null point.
- Use the fewest amount of microphones as practical to increase the Potential Acoustic Gain and prevent feedback.
- Follow the 3 to 1 Rule by spacing each microphone by at least three times the distance to its source to reduce Phase Cancellation.
- Place microphones as far as possible from reflective surfaces to reduce Comb Filtering.
- When using directional microphones, work closely to the microphone for extra bass response to take advantage of Proximity Effect.
- Avoid excessive handling to minimize pickup of mechanical noise and vibration.
- Do not cover any part of the microphone grille, as this will adversely affect microphone performance.
