MODEL BETA 56 COMP
ACT SUPERCARDOID DYNAMIC MICROPHONE
DESCRIPTION
The compact Shure BETA 56 is a high-output
supercardioid dynamic microphone designed for
professional sound reinforcement and project studio
recording. Its extremely uniform supercardioid pickup
pattern provides high gain before feedback and
excellent rejection of unwanted sound. A built-in
dynamic locking stand adapter with an integral XLR
connector simplifies installation. The stand adapter
designed to keep the microphone securely in place,
even if it is struck by a drumstick. Typical BETA 56
applications include close miking of tom-toms and
other percussion instruments, as well as guitar
amplifiers, brass instruments, and woodwinds.
