Shure Beta 91 Bass Drum Microphone

Good looking design and strong sound from this bass drum microphone.

The Shure Beta 91 Bass Drum Microphone is specifically designed for kick drums and other bass instruments. So, if you’re looking for a drum microphone, you will appreciate the way the mic picks up the deep sound and reproduces it. The Shure Beta 91 Bass Drum Microphone offers superb performance, sheer class and a truly beautiful design. It’s sleek and fits well into any bass drum.

The condenser cartridge of the Shure Beta 91 Mass Drum Microphone gives a powerful and studio quality sound that’s awesome. What makes this mic so great is that even with so much sound pressure in the drum, the microphone is not overwhelmed; it handles sound beautifully. There’s no confusion to the production of sound. You get a clear resonance that’s not muffled in any way.

The Shure Beta 91 Bass Drum Microphone can be used in different high SPL environments. With the boundary effect you get solid low-end response that leads to even more power and clarity.

Some of the other mics I’ve tried picked up echoes and other noise that ruined the sound I was looking for. When I used this mic, there was no feedback or echoes due to its cardioid pattern. This means there was more power and less miscellaneous noise so people hear only the sound of your drum when you’re playing. You could easily use this if you were giving a show and feel good about your choice.

The Shure Beta 91 bass drum microphone offers outstanding accuracy and impact and requires little or no EQ for clear sound. The Preamp is included and it’s handy how this mic can sit on its own without you having to buy more hardware to lug around from gig to gig. It can get expensive when you have to buy all those extras.

All this comes together in a durable design that definitely lives up to Shure's legendary standards for quality, reliability, and great sound. At only 3 lbs, it’s easily transportable and the matte-black, painted, die-cast, zinc-alloy case with matte-black steel grille gives it a stylish look that would grace any room or stage. Rugged and reliable, the Shure Beta 91 Drum Microphone is well worth the money.
