The Shure PGA98D Condenser Microphone has been specifically designed for use with drum or percussive instruments and includes a 15ft XLR cable. A flexible gooseneck design on the PGA98D offers easy positioning and the included drum mount allows for quick and secure placement in both performance and recording environments. The cardioid pick-up pattern focuses on the main source of sound at the front of the microphone whilst providing resistance to feedback to produce natural sound reproduction. Included with the drum microphone is a zipper pouch for protection during storage drum mount and an XLR-XLR cable.
