Shure Beta 52 vs. 52A?

Submitted by malamikigo on Sun, 02/24/2008 - 19:02

I've been debating this with a friend. I'm pretty sure they're considered the same mic, but he thinks a 52A must be a rehash or a cheaper copy of a 52.

What's the deal?

Which should I buy? I can save about 40 bones with the Shure...so I am leaning toward that if I'm not going to get a noticeable difference.

E602, D112 or maybe Shure BETA 52a?

Until now I've been recording my kick drum with either a sm58 or sm57 but with the need of some serious eq. Therefor I'm going to invest in a kick-drum mic, but which one?

E602?
D112?
Shure BETA 52a?

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated...

Sell my Beta52a to buy an Audix D6?

I don't really like my Beta52a that much. I've tried every last bass drum...tuned, un-tuned, DW, Tama, Pearl. everything I can get my hands on and I can't get a decent kick drum sound coming into the board. My room live room and control room are both decent, my monitors are good, I think I can finally blame it on the mic or the pre's. Everything other than my kicks sound at least decent.
