Shure : BETA-98H/C
Description
The Shure Beta Microphone Series
BETA-98H/C and the wireless version WB98H/C are premium cardioid condenser instrument microphones that clamp onto the bell of wind instruments or onto the rim of percussion instruments.
The BETA98H/C integrated gooseneck and ratcheting swivel joint allows the mic to be easily positioned and secured, and an isolation shock-mount reduces the transmission of instrument ‘key noise’ and other mechanical noise. A gooseneck angle brace is included to provide better retention of the microphone placement during more active performances.
Features
→ Premier live performance microphone with Shure quality, ruggedness, and reliability→ Uniform supercardioid pick-up pattern for maximum gain before feedback and superior rejection of off-axis sound→ Smooth, wide frequency response with gradual presence rise and controlled proximity effect tailored for vocals→ Advanced cartridge shock mount system absorbs mechanical shock and minimizes handling noise→ Dent-resistant steel mesh grille and enamel coated metal alloy construction resist wear and abuse→ Effective built-in pop filter reduces undesirable wind and breath noise→ Very low susceptibility to RF and electromagnetic humSpecifications
