Shure RPM626 - In-Line Microphone Preamp

The Shure RPM626 is an in-line microphone preamp that brings clean gain and rock-solid phantom power to the Shure Beta 98AD/C miniature condenser microphone. By moving the preamp out of the drum shell and closer to your mixer, it preserves every transient and nuance that drummers, percussionists, and engineers rely on in both live and studio situations.

The preamp’s robust RF shielding keeps buzz from wireless systems and LED fixtures out of your signal path, while its generous headroom maintains clarity even when the kit gets loud. A fifteen foot heavy-duty cable lets you run from the drum riser to a stage box or rack without signal loss, so setup stays tidy and dependable night after night.

Included in the package is the A98D drum mount with an adjustable gooseneck. This mount slips easily onto snares, toms, congas, or other percussion instruments, then locks firmly in place for consistent mic positioning. Paired with the Beta 98AD/C’s cardioid pattern and tailored frequency response, the RPM626 helps you capture explosive accents, tight rimshots, and subtle ghost notes with equal precision.
