  • Zippered Carrying Bag
  • Microphone Clip
  • Product Description

    The Shure BETA 87A is a premium quality supercardioid 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. The BETA 87A features a controlled low-frequency roll-off that compensates for proximity effect and prevents the “boomy” sound often associated with close pick-up. The characteristic Shure presence rise brightens the upper midrange. The tight supercardioid 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.

    If you have the opportunity, grab this mic. It will stick with you for years and became your *best friend!
    Absolutely awesome microphone.This thing is a beast. The top end is airy, the mids are strong, and the low end is smooth. Nothing on this mic "sticks out." It handles sibilance well, plosives are minimal and not distracting, and it feels great in the hand. The build quality it top notch. For a condenser, it is SOLID. Maybe not as tough as the SM58, but I certainly wouldn't call it fragile.It has what I would describe as an "isolation bubble" for vocals. You can address this mic from multiple angles with an extremely consistent response, all the while rejecting sound not but a few feet to your left and right.With a little practice, you can really get to know this mic and learn some killer technique that will make your stage performance sound more like the studio.*(Microphone not actually sentient and incapable of feeling emotions)
