Shure PGA 52: low-end

In order to amplify a kick, you need to register looooooow frequencies! The PGA52 can pick up frequencies that are as low as 50 Hz, as its head is designed so that these frequencies are picked just as easy as the easier frequencies. Moreover, it can also be used for floor toms and bass cabinets! Even tubas or (bass) trombones can be amplified perfectly by this microphone.
