Really? image/tiff e2uEJWROlaHdXQ7H5EZtZQjMb7h1kJygdti9As/NFzrOlfWJOKPGGEsaVC81Fa71O43zXywCEqdl Like all Shure mics, the Beta 52A is built like a tank, meaning that you can travel with it from gig to gig and rest assured that it will last. Welcome to Rhythm Notes, a site dedicated to helping you level up your hand and stick drumming, today! In the case of the best kick drum mic, I really like my Shure Beta 91a. On a kick drum? OxBjMWN02Tzd5x0vSru2in/S0LwPHbm5f0rqFilFZbgf3gU7/H8X+XlJ0+ORB+n7vl+Pc2jNOI/n application/postscript yxDMRrceoXNuSSJ9PmgSRBTYGGaJg+/cSj/VxyajIR6eH4399/oYw02MfVfw/H6XoWgfkv8AlBr6 The Beta 52a is a supercardioid pattern, which makes it more focused. We highly recommended the 52 over the audix even though the selling price the 52 for much less. My control will be a Shure SM57. Once it does, the levels briefly increase.

Sure, the 52 could be repositioned and preamped better, so I’m shelving it anytime soon. This tells me that it can handle the frequencies of my drum better than the dynamic mic – Beta 52a. fEBDDThH/qovbNycRgeHGK9363VxyiQ4p/ao/wCJvy3/AOXb/pEf/qlkvBz+fz/ax8fB5fL9jv8A That’s why you’ll find it on so many stages and in studios everywhere. I occasionally break out the Shure Beta 52A to get the job done right. You don’t to go completely blind, however. iaKGroeL8VfchW2rmfDQkxEiatw5awCRiBdILU/zDXVbRrPUvJ5vLVjUwzz20i1HQ0au47HJw0hi f/VrP/I8f9U8q/Ief2Nv8of0ftd/ytuP/q1n/keP+qeP5Dz+xf5Q/o/aqQ/mfbXh9B7c2PPYTF+Y You can choose the best mic for the situation, but that doesn’t matter if you don’t have the right kick drum. lZ5xv1kpJdXllYhdxVYngY0Nd9rh+3bKJb54DuBP3/qbBthme8gfd+th2jeYL3THoh9S3Jq8DHb5 To find the right placement of the mic, move it up or down, forward or back until it sounds good without EQ or compression. It provides superb attack and “punch,” and delivers studio quality sound even at extremely high sound pressure levels (SPL). This will allow me to try each mic on different places without losing isolation, which is why I like the mic inside the drum. I was probably rushing through the recording process. The changes in the distance between the diaphragm and an electrically charged back plate determine the sound. This placement worked better to handle some of the cancellation that was happening when I point the mic directly at the beater. eval(ez_write_tag([[300,250],'rhythmnotes_net-large-mobile-banner-1','ezslot_8',109,'0','0']));I thought the 22 would be the biggest sound. 2005-05-11T04:34:58Z Audix D6 Vs Shure Beta 52A Conclusion Both Audix D6 and Shure Beta 52 is a good mic for mic'ing a kick drum. This takes into consideration the tuning of the batter head, whether the resonant head has a hole or not, and if there even is a resonant head. Oh yeah. It delivers frequencies with a more gradual drop off as levels decrease. It had the best tone with both mics. Shure will take them back without a receipt or anything. This mic is smoother. I need to try adding a tunnel on the kick drums. The Beta 52 is in the lower right mid-depth of the kick drum with the mic pointing toward the shell of the drum but not directly at it. bE6PxYy1HEKMLHweb675YsrtzLoWk3WkN1+rTXMV1bmg6LU+qtT35keAzYYs0h9UhL4EFwcmCJ+k �T�I%>T�I$�I$�$�I$�I)I$�I$�JRI$�I(� �hD��)I$��J�GUũ������� ��K�ɷ/��7x�R�t� ��q)R�RI �[�wk�ˢ��s[����5��q{@q��wv���Q�O�:�.�8�'�4����J�mƀ-��:D�C�w�;��c�bY�����.���U9}L���?����ѫ�����x?�p=G�[����}g��]K��T�3٬*��E�? X6l95YZ9UsF+JrJ6fW0ABJ40AWUbfs0btxPXN9pe1oy2ybHv6Oj1PZZjvj3Hd1eWafqeqaReGS1l I once took this drum to a recording session and was told by a skeptical engineer that the drum might not have the low end that the sound needs. It’s a condenser mic and picks up a wider range of frequencies a little more smoothly than my Shure Beta 52a – a dynamic kick drum mic.eval(ez_write_tag([[300,250],'rhythmnotes_net-leader-1','ezslot_7',108,'0','0'])); The hardware you use to place the mic is important, especially if you’ll be moving it around to test different configurations. Drum roll please! The 16″ drum surprised me the most.
