PGA56 Drum mount

The Shure PGA56 is a professional quality cardioid dynamic snare/tom microphone designed for close‑miking percussion instruments. It features a robust industrial build with a black metallic finish and grille for durability and unobtrusive appearance. Its swivel joint with quick‑release latch allows fast and flexible positioning on drum rims. The included AP56DM drum mount lets you attach the microphone directly to the drum rim without the need for a stand, making it ideal for both live sound reinforcement and studio recording applications. The dynamic element does not require phantom power and is tuned for clear and accurate sound capture from drum sources.
