BETA 52A – Supercardioid, Dynamic
The Beta 52a has been designed for kick drum and bass amplification applications. The integrated locking microphone stand adapter with 3-pin XLR termination allows easy positioning and connectivity.
Available as part of the DMK57-52 drum microphone kit.
Frequency response: 20Hz - 10kHz. Sensitivity: -64dBV/Pa, 0.6mV. Output impedance: 150ohms. Weight: 605g.
BETA 56A – Uniform Supercardioid, Dynamic
Designed for snare and tom miking, along with other close miking applications such as guitar amplifier cabinets, Beta 56a has an integrated locking microphone stand adapter with 3-pin XLR termination allows easy positioning and connectivity. The Neodymium magnet inside the Beta 56a allows a high signal-to-noise ratio output.
Frequency response: 50Hz - 16kHz. Sensitivity: -51dBV/Pa, 2.8mV. Output impedance: 290ohms. Weight: 468g.
BETA 57A – Supercardioid, Dynamic
Designed for snare, brass, guitar amps, and acoustic guitar, although often preferred as a vocal microphone, Beta 57a allows high gain before feedback whilst retaining isolation from nearby sound sources. The Neodymium magnet inside the Beta 57a also allows a high signal-to-noise ratio output.
Frequency response: 50Hz - 16kHz. Sensitivity: -51dBV/Pa, 2.8mV. Output impedance: 290ohms. Weight: 275g.
BETA 91A – Half Cardioid, Condenser
Beta 57a has been designed for kick drum miking application, however it is also a useful microphone for piano and boundary miking where low frequencies are produced. The half-cardioid pickup pattern allows for maximum gain before reaching feedback whilst giving a good level of rejection. A 2-position switch allows the engineer to switch from flat response to ‘low-mid-scoop’ settings when more punch is preferred.
Frequency response: 20Hz - 20kHz. Sensitivity: -48.5dBV/Pa, 3.8mV. Output impedance: 146ohms. Weight: 470g.
WB98H/C - Cardioid, Condenser
Shure WB98H/C is a cardioid instrument microphone designed with 1.6m cable and TA4F termination to be used with compatible Shure wireless systems. The microphone provides high gain before feedback, and is particularly aimed at instruments including brass, woodwind, and percussion. The integrated sprung clip allows positioning on the bell of the brass instrument, or rim of the percussive instrument.
Frequency response: 20Hz - 20kHz. Sensitivity: -56dBV/Pa, 1.6mV. Output impedance: 150ohms. Weight: 65g.
BETA 98H/C - Cardioid, Condenser
Shure Beta 98H/C has the same audio properties and functionality of WB98H/C, however the microphone is furnished with a RPM626 in-line preamplifier and 3m cable terminating with 3-pin XLR.
Frequency response: 20Hz - 20kHz. Sensitivity: -56dBV/Pa, 1.6mV. Output impedance: 150ohms. Weight: 156g.
Shure Beta 98AD/C is a cardioid condenser instrument microphone with 'smooth high-end response'. The frequency response has been tailored to suit drums and percussive instrumentation, and is particularly useful for instruments with high sound pressure levels such as snare or tom drums.
Beta 98AD/C is furnished with 1x A98D drum mount, 1x 4.6m cable, zippered carry pouch, 1x RPM626 in line preamplifier, and snap-fit windscreen.
Frequency response: 20Hz - 20kHz. Sensitivity: -48dBV/Pa, 4.0mV. Output impedance: 179ohms. Weight: 12g, microphone only.
Shure Beta 98AMP/C is a cardioid condenser microphone designed for use with drums, percussion, and other instruments with wide dynamic range or high sound pressure levels. The short, flexible gooseneck connects the microphone capsule to the integrated preamplifier, which in turn terminates with 3-pin XLR connector. BETA 98AMP/C is furnished with a Shure A75M universal microphone mount, snap-fit windscreen, and zippered pouch.
This microphone is also available to order in set of three as BETA 98AMP/C-3PK.
Frequency response: 20Hz - 20kHz. Sensitivity: -50.5dBV/Pa, 2.5mV. Output impedance: 150ohms. Weight: 130g.
BETA 181 - Side-address, Condenser
Shure Beta 181 is a side-address condenser microphone with interchangeable capsules including omnidirectional, bidirectional, supercardioid, and cardioid. The microphone has been designed for use with guitars, guitar amplifiers, bass guitar amplifiers, bass drum, snare drum, and overhead techniques. An XLR preamplifier is integrated into the main shaft of the microphone handle. This terminates with 3-pin XLR.
Frequency response: 20Hz - 20kHz, all models. Maximum SPL: 149.0dB, cardioid; 152.0dB, supercardioid; 154.0dB, omnidirectional; 153.5dB, bidirectional. Dynamic range: 128.5dB, cardioid; 129.5dB, supercardioid; 130.5dB, omnidirectional; 130.5dB, bidirectional. Output impedance: 110ohms, all models. Weight: 145g.
