    Thanks for the demo! Wonderful kickdrum mic! I wanted to buy Sennheiser E602, but borrowed B52A instead from a friend and was very impressed by the sound.. Amazing 😊❤️

    Cool review man. I currently use an AKG D112 but need to look for other kick mics with different characteristics.

    Can the Shure Beta 52A also be used to get a jazzy bass drum sound? A warm, round sound with a lot of the drum's tone is what I'm looking for.

      @@pedroahets I bought one and I've gotten good results so far. Depending on how you tune the bass drum and where you place the mic, you can get a jazz bass drum sound for sure.

    Will it work great for 16inch ported bass drum?Using SM57.

    I think mines broken. Last gig the signal was redeculously hot but only in the highs... it was clipping the whole time but there was no low end. I just tested it now and it's gone back to normal, I checked the cables and they work fine

      It's not unusual for these mics. I have one that was treated well and not used much. The diaphragm separated from the coil... It was fine one day and busted the next. I didn't drop it.
      I've heard of quite a few doing this. Quality control issues.
      I won't be buying another one.

      I haven't used it personally, but I've heard good things. It likely sounds similar but might not be built as well, given the price point.

    Treat these like an egg. Pros use them because they sound great and can afford them. If you bump or drop it , they will fall apart. $200 down the toilet. Sorry “Shure” but it’s true. You gotta BIG name but that’s it.
    I went with the AKG D112 great deep thump and built like a tank.

      Absolutely. I really think they're quite fragile. Had one that busted and I never dropped it. It's a pattern with these
