Vocal Microphone

The Shure Beta Microphone Series BETA 87C premium vocal microphone delivers studio-grade performance and a smooth, extended high-end frequency response in a cardioid condenser design.

The BETA87C microphone adds warmth to the frequency response and creates an ideal environment for in ear personal monitoring. And its highly consistent cardioid pattern offers excellent rear rejection.

Vocalists who use earphone monitor systems such as Shure PSM will appreciate how effectively the BETA 87C rejects ambient sound from the rear of the microphone.

→ Premier live performance microphone with Shure quality, ruggedness, and reliability
→ Uniform cardioid pick-up pattern for maximum gain before feedback and excellent rejection of off-axis sound
→ Smooth, wide frequency response with slight presence rise and controlled proximity effect tailored for vocals
→ Advanced cartridge shock mount system absorbs mechanical shock and minimizes handling noise
→ Very low susceptibility to RF and electromagnetic hum
→ 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
