I tried everything to eliminate this "pouic pouic" has not had nor of its location or the Pramp SINCE zero saturation was always the !!! Yet it has good reputation the guy!
I think it will fit over the mic scene or to a drummer who dry balance and seeks a big kick genre Hard / Heavy.See less00xanibo

OVERALL OPINION
I really can't say enough good things about this mic. People tend to have a huge bias towards a certain brand and model of kick drum mic they like (Shure Beta 52, AKG D112 & Audix D6, mainly), and while I've tried all 3 major contenders, the Beta 52 is certainly the most well-rounded.
There are certain applications where I'll find myself using a D6 for the kick (mainly if we want a lot of attack and click), but for nearly every drum, I prefer the huge tone the 52 produces. Personally, I'm not a fan of the D112 on kick…Read moreMicrophone Type: Dynamic

There are certain applications where I'll find myself using a D6 for the kick (mainly if we want a lot of attack and click), but for nearly every drum, I prefer the huge tone the 52 produces. Personally, I'm not a fan of the D112 on kick (I do really like it on a bass cab). The Beta 52 just seems to "work" on everything. You can literally throw this mic inside the sound port on any kick drum (assuming it's fairly well tuned) and dial in a usable tone. For metal, one might prefer the D6, but unless you're only tracking metal, the Beta 52 is certainly the way to go.See less10Cpierredon

I use it for a short time.
It is impressive with respect to all those I try (AKG & co ...): the sound is simply superb, balanced (for a GC I hear), this hot ...... nickel. Both the kick and the bass ... really a super micro balanced and great for the bass drum.
It is quite expensive, but I recommend it.10JoneSmice

Compares the AKG D112, let's say I prfre the Beta 52 for its color, its broader and less aggressive.

For a player of rock, the mic is perfect because I had a prodipe before, but now there's no picture the sound of your bass drum is faithfully reproduced with nice bass and a good offense, I strongly recommend for any player who wants a sound "fit in".21tico31

Published on 07/18/11 at 07:41The Shure Beta 52A is a dynamic microphone specifically tailored for use on the bass drum. The very shape of the microphone makes that pretty obvious. The Shure Beta 52A has that special low end extension in the frequency response, bringing it from the standard and acceptable 20-20,000 Hz to an incrementally more impressive 10-20,000 Hz. While humans can't exactly hear down that low, this extended response does make the microphone sound much better for this application, and you can hear the low end not directly because of the low end extension, but because of the way the frequency curve approaches that bottom.

Couple this with a staggeringly impressive SPL rating at 174 dB and a nice little presence boost in the midrange, and you are in for a microphone with some, pardon the pun, kick.
Shure includes a rather sorry pouch with the microphone that doesn't really do much, but it's there.
The microphone, to go back for a second, is structurally speaking, quite a piece of work. I'm always impressed with how solid all of the Shure microphones feel.
OVERALL OPINION
The Shure Beta 52 is specialized for the kick, and it does not disappoint in this regard. In truth, most of the kick drum microphones are quite acceptable and on par with each other, and being more of a vocalist, I was going to be impressed with any of them, considering the fact that I am used to having someone stick an SM57 on the kick and EQ it up later.
Having friends who mic up bands can make me feel just a little bit inadequate, because I don't have access to the same specialist equipment that they do, and I'm not exactly going to feel so great about micing up kick drums anymore. Thank goodness it is not a regular occurrence for me.See less00wattstones
