Product Overview
The Shure PGA98D cardioid condenser drum microphone is a gooseneck mic optimized for drums and percussion in live sound and commercial AV applications. A molded one-piece drum mount and flexible gooseneck allow fast, low-profile placement on the rim, while the cardioid pattern rejects bleed from adjacent kit pieces. This LC configuration ships without a cable. Phantom power is required.
Product Description
The PGA98D is a professional condenser microphone tailored for clear reproduction of drum and percussion sources. Its discrete gooseneck design and molded drum mount clamp directly to the rim for fast, repeatable positioning without occupying a separate stand, making it efficient for multi-drum setups on house of worship platforms, broadcast stages, and multi-purpose room productions. An integrated preamplifier uses phantom power with a direct XLR connection, and the cardioid polar pattern isolates each drum in dense kit arrangements. The condenser cartridge captures percussion transients with detail. As a less-cable model, the PGA98D-LC integrates into existing cable infrastructure.

Key Features
- Cardioid Condenser Capsule — The tailored condenser cartridge captures drums and percussion with detail while rejecting off-axis bleed.
- Flexible Gooseneck — The discrete gooseneck lets technicians aim the capsule precisely over each drum.
- One-Piece Drum Mount — The molded mount clamps to the rim for fast, low-profile placement without a separate stand.
- Integrated Preamplifier — The in-line preamp uses phantom power with a direct XLR connection for clean signal into the console.
- Cardioid Isolation — The cardioid polar pattern isolates each drum in dense kit arrangements.
- Less-Cable Configuration — Shipping without a cable lets integrators specify cable runs for each installation.
