Shure BETA 57A Supercardioid Dynamic Instrument Microphone
The Shure BETA 57A Dynamic Instrument Microphone is a dynamic instrument microphone that provides high gain before feedback in demanding environments. It features a steel mesh grille for durability, a shock mount to minimize transmission of unwanted noise and a neodymium magnet for a high signal-to-noise ratio.
Studio-Quality Sound
The microphone features a tailored frequency response that provides drums, guitars, vocals, and horns with studio-quality sound. The uniform super cardioid pattern allows for high gain-before-feedback and superior rejection of off–axis sound. A hardened steel mesh grille facilitates the use of the proximity effect and resists wear and abuse.
Reduction of Mechanical Noise and Vibration
The neodymium magnet delivers a high signal-to-noise ratio output. The microphone is minimally affected by varying load impedances. An advanced pneumatic shock mount system minimizes the transmission of mechanical noise and vibration.
Legendary Shure Quality and Reliability
The Shure BETA 57A is a high-output, super cardioid dynamic microphone designed for professional sound reinforcement and project studio recording. It maintains a true super cardioid pattern throughout its frequency range. This insures high gain-before-feedback, maximum isolation from other sound sources, and minimum off-axis tone coloration.
Ideal Fit
It is an excellent choice for acoustic and electric instruments as well as vocals, the extremely versatile BETA 57A dynamic microphone provides optimal warmth and presence. Typical applications include drums, guitar amplifiers, brass, woodwinds, and vocals.
