Meet the Ball, the latest addition to our award-winning family of
hand-built microphones. So-named for its unique shape and inimitable
Blue styling, The Ball is our first offering in the dynamic mic category.
But a phantom-powered dynamic? Yes. And no. Most recordists know
that conventional dynamic mics do not require external DC power.
Rather, they employ a relatively simple circuit and derive their output
voltage through electromagnetic induction. While this makes them rugged,
reliable and easier to operate than their electrostatic counterparts, they
also present the user with a unique set of problems. Chief among these
is frequency-dependent variable resistance which has dramatic effects
on the transducer?s acoustic balance, phase coherence, noise specification
and overall output. Our engineers solved this problem by incorporating
a phantom-powered proprietary active balancing circuit in the Ball?s output
stage. This circuit maintains a constant pure-resistive 50-ohm load across
the useable frequency spectrum yielding an exceptionally smooth and open
sound previously unheard of in a dynamic microphone. Additionally, as a
dynamic mic, the Ball is capable of handling extremely high sound pressure
levels without distortion, making it the ideal choice for studio, stage, broadcast,
film or any other applications where reliability, versatility and the utmost
sound quality is required.

Optimized for low-frequency bass punch/high-power SPL handling. Designed for kick drum. The Shure BETA®52A is a high output dynamic microphone with a tailored frequency response designed specifically for kick drums and other bass instruments. It provides superb attack and "punch“, and delivers studio quality sound even at extremely high sound pressure levels. The Beta 52A features a modified supercardioid pattern throughout its frequency range to insure high gain-before-feedback and excellent rejection of unwanted sound. A built in dynamic locking stand adapter with an integral XLR connector simplifies installation, particularly if the microphone is to be placed inside a kick drum. The stand adapter keeps the microphone position fixed and resists slipping, even when subjected to sharp blows and strong vibrations. A hardened steel mesh grille protects the Beta 52A from the abuse and wear associated with touring. Features
