The Kelly SHU™ is an integrated microphone shock mount and isolation system adaptable to any size or depth of bass drum and larger-diameter tom-toms. Designed to accept most drum microphones that use an industry-standard mic clip or threaded mount base. NO DRILLING is required for installation.
The Kelly SHU Pro™ Series drum microphone holder and isolation system is designed for use with larger-format bass drum microphones such as the Shure BETA 52A, AT 2500, EV RE20, etc. The Kelly SHU Pro™ Series system is compatible with most bass drums and larger-sized toms 14 inches and larger in diameter.
If you are looking for a better way to support your bass drum microphones, look no further than the patented Kelly SHU™ system. Microphone stands can transfer stage vibrations through the stand boom and into the microphone itself, causing audio issues. The same is true for rim clips or other mic systems that are attached directly to the drum shell; these methods can cause vibrational interference. The unique design of the Kelly SHU™ suspended and isolated mounting system solves these problems and many more.
The SHU™ (pronounced "SHOE") gives you a miking platform that is completely decoupled from the drum shell and the stage at the same time. This design eliminates any environmental vibration that could travel into the microphone itself during your performance. The result is a cleaner, more defined signal from the isolated microphone. In addition to the patented rubber isolation cords, placing the mic inside the drum shell obviously reduces bleed between your drum microphones.
The benefits of the Kelly SHU Pro™ system do not stop there. You can add the bonus of being able to leave your microphone with the drum during transport—a real time-saver at your next gig. And let’s talk durability! We have received reports from Kelly SHU™ users who have not needed to adjust or replace anything on the mounting units for nearly a decade. You can count on the Kelly SHU™ system to provide you with years of service!
