Shure Beta 91A Kick Drum Microphone

I noticed all of the bigger stage/venues had this mic. You can get so much range from this half cardiod. Only issue I had, was that my mixer didn't have a way for me to take enough mids out and was causing it to clip. Better mic, required a better mixer.

  Durable, Excellent Craftsmanship, Great Sound, Highly Responsive

I use Shure Beta 91A Mics in all of my Kick drums. Mounted with the Kelly Shu suspension system. This mic needs very little help in the way of EQ.

I bought this mic to use in my Meinl Siam Oak String Cajon. This mic sounds incredible! The cajon sounds amazing through the PA. I tried recording using the Shure Beta 91A and it sounds great. I like it better than the sound that I was getting with my two mics placed outside of the cajon.

I know some people would like to do to use 2 mics in the drum kick, but I’m telling you if you only use this one, it’s more than enough

Great mic, I've been looking for a good beater side kick mic for a while. I've tried several options but they were always at least a little intrusive or needed to be heavily gated. The sound of the beta 91a is immediately satisfying; the switch on the underside cuts right where I'd like.

This mic was everything that it was built to be! Great construction and awesome performance. I use it as an inner kick mic. Switching from the AKG D-112, I had to get used to the high end attack. After adjusting, I am finding a secure place for it in the mix!

This half cardioid condenser boundary mic will rock your kick. The beta 91a is specifically engineered for low frequency applications. With a built in mic pre-amp it really helps for low volume settings as well. This mic requires no external mounting and can just sit in a kick drum ready to roll.

  great low end response, half cardioid to isolate sound.

One of the best kick mics I’ve used! In Studio or Live this mic gives you a great warm sound. Totally recommend.

I use it in my kick drum when I need to be miked. The great thing is the punch I get from my kick drum. The convenience of not needing a small stand in front of my bass drum is another thing I like about it. It is a little pricey but worth the money.

  Easy To Use, Great Sound

Love the Beta 91A how it bring out the kick for me
