WB98H/C Instrument Microphone


Product Code:
WB98H/C

The Shure WB98H/C (the wireless version of the Beta 98H/C) is a premium cardioid condenser instrumental microphone that clamps onto the bell of wind instruments or onto the rim of percussion instruments. The integrated gooseneck and ratcheting swivel joint allows the microphone to be easily positioned and secured in place, and an isolation shock-mount reduces the transmission of instrument 'key noise' and other mechanical noise. A gooseneck angle brace is included to provide better retention of the microphone placement during more active performances.
WB98H/C with 10 ft. cable terminated to 4-Pin Mini-Connector.

Features
  • 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

Specification
  • Type : Condenser (electret bias)
  • Frequency Response : 20 to 20,000 Hz
  • Polar Pattern
    Supercardioid (as supplied), uniform with frequency, symmetrical about axis. Cartridge for cardioid polar pattern also available.
  • Output Level (at 1,000 Hz)
    Open Circuit Voltage: -59 dBV/Pa* (1 mV) typical
    *1 Pa = 94 dB SPL
  • Maximum SPL
    (20 Hz to 20 kHz, less than 1% THD)
    2.5 kilohm load: 160 dB
    1 kilohm load: 156 dB
  • Preamplifier Output Clipping Level
    (20 Hz to 20 kHz, less than 1% THD)
    2.5 kilohm load: + 6 dBV (2.0 V)
    1 kilohm load: + 2 dBV (1.26 V)
  • Dynamic Range
    (at 20 Hz to 20 kHz, less than 1% THD, 2.5 kilohm load)
    125 dB (max SPL minus A-weighted noise)
  • Output Noise : 35 dB SPL, A-weighted
  • Signal-to-Noise Ratio : 59 dB re 94 dB SPL
  • Output Impedance
    Rated at 150 ohms (actual)
    Recommended minimum load impedance: 1 kilohm
  • Hum Pickup : -7.5 dB equivalent SPL in 1 mOe field (60Hz)
  • Polarity : Positive pressure on diaphragm produces positive voltage on pin 2 with respect to pin 3
  • Phantom Power
    48 Vdc +/- 4 Vdc(IEC-268-15/DIN 45 596), positive pins 2 and 3.
  • Cable
    BETA 98/S: 7.6 m (25 ft) light-weight, two-conductor shielded, TA4F to TA3F mini connectors.
    BETA 98D/S: 4.6 m (15 ft) heavy-duty, two-conductor shielded, TA4F to TA3F mini connectors.
  • Case
    Microphone: Matte black enamel brass case and stainless steel inner grille
