Powerful bass drum pickup for stage and studio
Dynamic bass drum microphone from the Shure ALTA series. The PGA52 is ideal for reproducing the low frequencies of your bass drum. The cardioid polar pattern focusses the sound pick-up from the front and helps to reduce unwanted background noise. With a transmission range of 50 Hz to 12 kHz, 150 Ohm output impedance and a sensitivity of -55 dBV/Pa, the microphone is designed for robust live and recording applications. The practical stand adapter with swivel joint enables extremely quick and easy positioning.

CONCLUSION: In the Shure PGA52 test, the microphone convinced me as a solid tool for bass drum and low-frequency sources. It doesn't score with unnecessary complexity, but with its clear alignment, robust construction and live-ready handling. The quick-release stand adapter, cardioid polar pattern and contoured frequency response in particular make the PGA52 a sensible candidate for event technology, rehearsal rooms and project studios.
