The Kelly SHU™ FLATZ™ Shock-Mount System for Shure Beta 91/91A

Four solid rubber isolation rings sit between the drum shell and the FLATZ mounting plate, attached using the drum's existing tuning hardware, so there is no drilling or modification: fitting is a case of removing and replacing four screws inside the shell. For the Beta 91/91A and BL8, two push-in retainer pegs hold the mic in the mounting unit; the shorter BA 19A cannot use them. Kelly SHU says getting the mic up off the shell puts it closer to the source and opens up its response, and that the mic can stay inside the drum during transport without shifting. For a touring or house kit, that means the boundary mic travels in the drum and sits in the same position every night, which helps with consistency from gig to gig.
