Shure Introduces New Drum Mic Kit at Summer NAMMTurnkey Package to Include a Complete Miking System for a Great Price  July 23, 2000Shure Incorporated, the leading manufacturer of microphones
and audio electronics, today introduced the new DMK57-52 Drum Mic Kit, a pre-packaged
selection of microphones and mounting hardware ideally suited for drummers. The kit
comprises three SM57 microphones, one Beta 52® microphone, three A56D drum mounting
systems, and a lightweight and durable carrying case.
The most famous drummers worldwide, including Dave Weckl, Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili
Peppers), and Matt Cameron (Pearl Jam) rely on Shure mics. Famed jazz-fusion drummer,
Dennis Chambers, said, "I always depend on the warm and true sound of Shure microphones
for my drum kit."
A reliable and high-performing choice for snare and toms, as well as overhead applications,
Shure's cardioid dynamic SM57 microphones feature a contoured frequency response which
reproduces sound accurately and without coloration. Perfect for the kick drum, the supercardioid
Beta 52 derives its low-end punch and sonic presence from a carefully tailored frequency
response. Equipped with its own pneumatic shock mount, the Beta 52 is additionally outfitted
with an integral locking stand mount to facilitate quick-and-easy set-up.
A key element of the kit, Shure's A56D universal drum mounting systems, can be used in a wide
variety of positions on drum rims or microphone and cymbal stands. Assembled with
non-removable parts to prevent the loss of individual pieces, each A56D mounting system is
small, secure, and rugged in design to optimize its use within stage and studio environments. For more information, visit their web site at www.shure.com. |
