  • Rugged construction for long-lasting use on stage and in the studio
  • Versatile: suitable for guitar, brass, percussion, and other instruments

The Shure 520DX is aimed at musicians and producers who want to capture instruments with character – on stage, in the rehearsal room, or in the professional studio. Guitarists and brass players particularly appreciate its direct, faithful sound reproduction.

How to use the Shure 520DX

Place the microphone directly in front of the sound source, e.g. about 2–5 cm from the guitar amplifier. For snare or toms, it can also be positioned at an angle from above. Use a microphone stand with a suitable thread (5/8 inch).
