General

The Shure Beta 56A is a dynamic microphone with a frequency range that has been tailored to amplify and record instruments. It's a versatile tool that's suitable for instruments as diverse as snare/floor/rack drums, congas, amplified (bass) guitars, and even wind instruments such as saxophones. Thanks to its supercardioid pickup pattern, the mic captures only the intended sound source, reducing background noise and feedback to a minimum.

A lot of thought has gone into the design of the Beta 56A. A built-in stand adapter makes it easy to mount the microphone, and an integrated XLR connector allows for practical cable management, whether you place the mic on the floor or mount it on a drum. This microphone will stay securely put under virtually any circumstances, even if you hit it accidentally with your drum stick! Excellent durability, great user-friendliness and optimal sound quality; what more could you possibly look for in a microphone?

Shure Beta 56A dynamic instrument microphone

Wrote the following about Shure Beta 56A dynamic instrument microphone
Als achtergrond zingende drummer was ik al een aardige tijd op zoek naar een goede microfoon.
- Shure Beta 57a geprobeerd: prima geluid, maar de microfoon is te lang, zeker in combinatie met het snoer aan de achterkant. Dus die kreeg met enige regelmaat een klap te verduren...
- Toen 2 headset microfoons geprobeerd; de Shure WH20XLR, maar die zat niet lekker. En de Beyer Dynamics TGH34, maar die gaf teveel bleed van de snare en bekkens.

Toen las ik dat veel zingende drummers de beta 56a gebruiken, terwijl die eigenlijk aangeraden wordt voor toms en snare. Dus ook maar eens uitproberen...
Dit werkt inderdaad erg goed! Hij klinkt misschien niet zo mooi als een beta 58a, maar voor achtergrond zang is dit meer dan voldoende!
Er komt bijna geen bleed binnen, dat is zeer fijn! En door de vorm waarbij je de microfoon rechtsreeks op de standaard schroeft en de kabel onderlangs bevestigd, is de kans dat je 'm raakt met je stokken best klein.
Blij mee! Dit is een blijvertje!

Ben zowel drummer als vocalist en heb lang gestoeid met een goede balans in geluid. Door deze microfoon te gaan gebruiken voor de vocals zijn alle problemen verdwenen. Voor drummers die net als ik last heeft (gehad) van onverstaanbaarheid is deze microfoon absoluut de oplossing.

Robuust in combinatie met een goed geluid, meer kan een PA engineer niet wensen.
