Description

The Beta 91A is a flat boundary mic built to sit on a pillow inside the kick drum. It picks up the beater attack and punch that an outside mic can miss.

It’s a half-cardioid condenser with an integrated preamp and XLR connector, so there’s no separate preamp box to lose. It needs phantom power. A two-position contour switch lets you shape the low end for kick or other low-frequency sources, and it’s built to handle extremely high SPL. It’s also a good choice under a piano lid.

Pair it with a Beta 52A or D6 on the resonant head for a full kick sound. Tell us the drum kit and we’ll put together the full drum mic package.
