Shure Beta 56 A

This is the same microphone head as the Beta 57 in a different package. The manufacturing quality is obvious, with proven ruggedness on the road. When used with the Shure A56 rim mount it gives you excellent positioning options on toms or snare, and will fit other stands for use with guitar amps or other instruments. Also a favourite vocal mic for singing drummers. You can recognise the sound of a Beta 56 or Beta 57 on snare, with strong attack and a full yet bright tone. Often chosen for a bottom snare mic in a 2-mic setup. Has been a pro standard for snare, guitar and also toms for years. I recommend the Shure A56 rim mount when using the Beta 56 on drums
