Shure BETA 87A Super Cardioid Polar Pattern Hand-Held Electret Condenser Rugged Microphone
Add some studio-grade clarity to the live mix. Designed to capture brighter vocals with sparkling accuracy, the Shure BETA 87A brings more crispness to the concert. And the increased presence will have everyone singing your praises.
Super Cardioid Polar Pattern
The microphone has a smooth frequency response with a gradual presence rise and a highly consistent super cardioid polar pattern, which provides superior gain-before-feedback. Electronic low-frequency roll-off compensates for the proximity effect. It has a wide dynamic range of 117 dB and low distortion characteristics. It has a very low susceptibility to RFI and electromagnetic hum. The advanced cartridge shock-mount system absorbs mechanical shocks and reduces handling noise. The built-in pop filter reduces undesirable wind and breath sounds.
Legendary Shure Quality and Reliability
The Shure BETA 87A is a premium quality super cardioid hand-held electret condenser vocal microphone with exceptionally smooth frequency response and high sound pressure level capability. Used for professional sound reinforcement, broadcasting, and studio recording applications, the Beta 87A combines superb performance with the ruggedness needed for touring and field production.
Prevents Boomy Sounds
The Beta 87A features a controlled low-frequency roll-off that compensates for the proximity effect and prevents the ‘boomy’ sound often associated with close pick-up. The characteristic Shure presence brightens the upper midrange. The tight super cardioid pattern, with null points at approximately 125 degrees, provides maximum isolation from other vocalists or instruments while offering minimal off-axis coloration. The Beta 87A operates on phantom power.
Working Mechanism
One of the world’s best-selling, single-element, condenser microphones, the BETA 87A puts singers on a pedestal. Tailored frequency response concentrates on the upper midrange to raise vocal presence in the mix. So voices cut through clearly and resonate deeply with your audience.
