What is the Beta 87A best suited to?

The Shure Beta 87A is a premium quality supercardioid hand-held condenser vocal microphone with exceptionally smooth frequency response and high sound pressure level capability. It is ideal for a professional lead or backing vocalist either on stage, for live recording or in the studio.

What are the characteristics of the Beta 87A?

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 tailored frequency response with its presence rise , brightens the upper midrange and helps the vocals cut through the mix. The tight supercardioid pattern provides maximum isolation from other vocalists or instruments while offering minimal off-axis coloration. It operates on phantom power.

Set your singing apart

The supercardioid pattern provides maximum isolation of your voice, giving you the chance to shine.

Never overpowered

Get right up on the mic without overwhelming the sound. Electronically controlled low-end roll-off keeps your bass from blasting over the mix.

Resists rattle

The advanced cartridge shock-mount system lets you handle the mic a little harder while absorbing any mechanical noise.
