Shure PGA52 — Cardioid Dynamic Kick Drum Microphone
PGA52 Overview
The Shure PGA52 is a cardioid dynamic microphone purpose-built for kick drum and low-frequency applications in both live performance and recording contexts. Its design prioritizes clarity in the low-frequency range, making it a practical choice for drummers, engineers, and production teams who need reliable, consistent results on kick drum sources. This listing includes the microphone only, with no cable included. The PGA52 suits live sound engineers, studio engineers, and touring companies seeking a dedicated low-frequency dynamic microphone.
The cardioid polar pattern provides focused pickup of the intended source while reducing bleed from surrounding instruments, supporting cleaner mixes in dense stage environments.
Key Features
- Cardioid Polar Pattern — Focused directional pickup minimizes off-axis bleed from surrounding stage sources
- Dynamic Transducer — Handles high SPL sources typical of kick drum applications without requiring phantom power
- Low-Frequency Optimized Design — Engineered specifically for kick drum and low-frequency instrument capture
- Live and Studio Versatility — Suited for both live performance reinforcement and studio recording of low-frequency sources
- No Cable Configuration (LC) — Ships without cable, allowing engineers to use preferred cable assemblies or integrate into existing inventory
