Product Description
Shure Beta 91A Condenser Kick Drum Microphone
\nShure 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. \nGeneral Description
\nThe 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).
\n \nFeatures:
\n-
\n
- Premier live performance microphone with Shure quality, ruggedness, and reliability \n
- Uniform half-cardioid polar pattern (in the hemisphere above mounting surface) for maximum gain before feedback and rejection of off-axis sound \n
- Tailored frequency response for kick drums and bass-heavy instruments \n
- Wide dynamic range for use in high SPL environments \n
- Two-position contour switch enhances attack and clarity \n
- Integrated preamp and XLR connector reduce stage clutter and provide a quick, secure setup \n
- Low profile design requires no external mounting hardware \n
- Steel grille and die-cast metal construction resist wear and abuse \n
Applications
\nGeneral Rules for Use
\nThis 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.
\n \n-
\n
- Aim the microphone toward the desired sound source; angle unwanted sounds toward its null point. \n
- Use the fewest amount of microphones as practical to increase the Potential Acoustic Gain and prevent feedback. \n
- Follow the 3 to 1 Rule by spacing each microphone by at least three times the distance to its source to reduce Phase Cancellation. \n
- Place microphones as far as possible from reflective surfaces to reduce Comb Filtering. \n
- When using directional microphones, work closely to the microphone for extra bass response to take advantage of Proximity Effect. \n
- Avoid excessive handling to minimize pickup of mechanical noise and vibration. \n
- Do not cover any part of the microphone grille, as this will adversely affect microphone performance. \n
