Beta 58A - Supercardioid - Dynamic

A 'high-output supercardioid dynamic vocal microphone designed for professional sound reinforcement and project studio recording', the Beta 58A 'has become a leading choice among vocalists and touring professionals worldwide'. Maintaining a' true supercardioid pattern throughout its frequency range', the Beta 58A has a 'shaped frequency response that is ideal for close-up vocals'. The 'superb performance of this microphone' is 'not affected by rough handling' because of it's 'rugged construction, proven shock mount system, and hardened steel mesh grille'.

Beta 58A has a supercardioid pick-up as opposed to the cardioid pattern of the SM58 and 4dB higher output. Also

Applications: 'Best suited to: Vocals. Also great for: Speech'. Response: 50Hz - 16kHz. Supplied with storage bag, 5/8 inch to 3/8 inch thread adapter and swivel adapter. No cable.


Beta 87A - Supercardioid - Condenser

This 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'. With a controlled, low-frequency, roll-off 'that compensates for proximity effect and prevents the boomy sound often associated with close pick-up' the Beta 87A has the 'characteristic Shure presence rise' which '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 has a polar pattern that is extremely uniform at all frequencies. This translates into slightly better gain before feedback in a sound system when compared to the SM87.

Applications: 'Best suited to: Vocals. Also great for: Speech'. Response: 50Hz - 20kHz. Supplied with storage bag, and swivel adapter. No cable. Requires phantom power, 11 to 52V DC.


Beta 87C - Cardioid - Condenser

'Excellent for touring professionals', the Beta 87C ia a 'premium vocal microphone' which 'delivers studio-grade performance and a smooth, extended high-end frequency response in a cardioid condenser design'. The microphone 'adds warmth to the frequency response and creates an ideal environment for personal monitoring'. The 'highly consistent cardioid pattern offers excellent rear rejection'. Vocalists who use personal monitor systems 'will appreciate how effectively the Beta 87C rejects ambient sound from the rear of the microphone' with 'minimum off-axis tone coloration' and 'low-frequency roll-off compensates for proximity effect' A 'three-stage pop filter minimizes breath pop and noise'.

Comparing the Beta 87C with the Beta 87A, 'the primary difference is the pick-up pattern', cardioid and supercardioid respectively. The 87C was 'introduced for performers using in-ear monitors'. A cardioid type is 'often preferred by in-ear monitor users' as it sounds more 'natural' with the in-ear mix. If using floor monitors, the Beta 87A 'may be a better choice' as it will often provide 'a bit more gain before feedback' than the Beta 87C.

Applications: 'Best suited to: Vocals. Also great for: Speech'. Response: 50Hz - 20kHz. Supplied with storage bag, and swivel adapter. No cable. Requires phantom power, 11 to 52V DC.
