Shure A56D — Drum Microphone Mount
A56D Overview
The Shure A56D is a dedicated drum microphone mount engineered for professional drum miking applications in live sound, studio recording, and touring environments. Designed specifically for standard end-address microphones, it secures the mic directly to the side of a drum shell, eliminating the need for floor or boom stands at each drum position. Compatible models include the Beta 57, Beta 56, SM57, and PG57, making it a natural companion for established Shure drum miking setups. Audio engineers, drum technicians, and stage managers will find the A56D an efficient solution for reducing clutter and maintaining consistent mic positioning across performances.
The mount’s side-of-drum attachment design keeps microphones close to the source for accurate sound capture while freeing up stage real estate and simplifying setup and teardown workflows.
