Shure PGA56-LC Cardioid swivel-mount dynamic snare/tom microphone -...
Product Overview
The Shure PGA56 cardioid dynamic snare and tom microphone is engineered for close-miking percussion in live sound and commercial AV environments. Its tight cardioid pattern isolates individual drums while rejecting bleed from adjacent kit pieces and stage monitors. This LC configuration ships without a cable, so integrators can specify their own cable runs for a fixed installation, broadcast studio, or touring rig.
Product Description
The PGA56 is a professional snare and tom drum microphone designed for clear reproduction of close-miked percussion sources. A swivel joint with a quick-release latch lets technicians position the capsule precisely over a drum and detach it quickly during stage changeovers, while the included drum mount keeps the microphone low-profile on the kit. The tailored dynamic cartridge handles high sound-pressure percussion transients, making it a dependable choice for commercial AV drum miking, house of worship stages, and live sound reinforcement. The black metallic finish and grille keep the microphone visually discreet on camera in broadcast and streaming applications. For a complete drum-miking signal chain, pair it with a cardioid instrument microphone or condenser drum microphone from the same Shure PGA Alta family.
Key Features
- Cardioid Dynamic Capsule — The tailored cardioid dynamic cartridge captures snare and tom sources cleanly while rejecting off-axis bleed from cymbals and stage monitors.
- Quick-Release Swivel Joint — A swivel joint with a quick-release latch allows fast, repeatable capsule positioning and rapid removal during stage changeovers.
- Included Drum Mount — The supplied drum mount clamps directly to the rim for low-profile placement without occupying a separate microphone stand.
- High-SPL Handling — The dynamic transducer withstands the high sound-pressure transients of close-miked percussion without distortion.
- Discreet Industrial Design — The black metallic finish and grille keep the microphone unobtrusive in broadcast, streaming, and commercial AV installations.
- Less-Cable Configuration — Shipping without a cable lets integrators specify cable length and connector type for each installation.
