Product Overview The Shure A50D is a microphone drum mount that attaches a microphone clip directly to a drum rim for close, consistent percussion miking. It positions a microphone on the drum without occupying a separate stand, saving space on a crowded stage or studio floor. As a drum rim microphone mount, it is the genuine Shure hardware for live sound and recording. Product Description The A50D is a drum microphone mount that clamps to a drum rim and holds a microphone clip in position for tight, repeatable placement on snare and toms. By mounting the microphone to the drum itself, it eliminates the need for an additional microphone stand, which is valuable in dense live-sound and broadcast studio setups. The mount keeps the microphone aimed at the head while the drum is moved or repositioned, supporting fast changeovers. For engineers and AV teams equipping a stage or studio, it is a durable, low-cost way to standardize drum microphone placement. It is a practical accessory for live performance, rehearsal, and recording environments.
