Instrument microphone provides high gain-before-feedback and rejection of unwanted noise. It features preamplifier circuitry for linearity across frequency range, tailored frequency response for studio quality, and a wide dynamic range for high-SPL.
BETA 98H/C Clip-on Condenser Instrument
Microphone Terminated to 4-Pin Mini-connector
(TA4F)
The WB98H/C features transformerless preamplifier circuitry, which improves linearity across the full frequency range.
The pickup pattern of the Beta 98H/C provides high gain-before-feedback and excellent rejection of unwanted noise.
Its high maximum sound pressure level (SPL) enables it to handle the extreme demands of brass, woodwind and percussion instruments.
Tailored frequency response for studio quality performance
Wide dynamic range for use in high SPL environments
Uniform supercardioid pattern for high gain before feedback and superior rejection of off-axis sound
Optional A98D drum mount is unobtrusive and versatile--allows precise positioning of the microphone while holding it firmly in place
Compact design reduces stage clutter
Detachable cable for easy storage
Interchangeable microphone cartridges with different polar patterns are available
Legendary Shure quality, ruggedness, and reliability
