Product Overview
The Shure A56D drum microphone mount is a compact clamp that attaches a standard end-address microphone directly to the rim of a drum for accurate, repeatable drum mic placement. It is a practical drum mic mounting solution for live sound, broadcast studio, and house of worship percussion setups where stand-free positioning saves stage space. The mount accommodates 5/8" swivel adapters and works with popular Shure instrument microphones.
Product Description
The A56D positions a microphone tightly against snare and tom shells without a separate mic stand, freeing up floor space on crowded stages and in broadcast studio drum booths. It is engineered with captive parts so individual pieces are not lost during setup and teardown, an advantage for AV integrators and production crews handling frequent reconfiguration. The dual-purpose design lets you mount mics on drum rims as well as on mic stands and cymbal stands, giving system designers flexible snare and tom microphone placement. It pairs with standard end-address dynamic instrument microphones, making it a reliable accessory for permanent install and touring percussion rigs alike. Because it accepts a 5/8" swivel adapter, it integrates with the same hardware ecosystem already used across most commercial AV microphone deployments.
Key Features
- Rim-Mount Design — Clamps directly to the drum rim so a microphone can be positioned on snare and toms without consuming additional floor space for a mic stand.
- Captive Parts Construction — All adjustment components stay attached to the mount, which prevents lost hardware during repeated setup and teardown in touring and install environments.
- 5/8" Swivel Adapter Compatibility — Accommodates standard 5/8" swivel adapters so it integrates with the microphone clips and hardware already common in commercial AV inventories.
- Versatile Placement — Mounts to drum rims, microphone stands, and cymbal stands, giving AV system designers multiple options for accurate drum mic placement.
- Microphone Compatibility — Works with standard end-address microphones including the Shure Beta 57, Beta 56, SM57, and PG57.
