|  Product Code: Beta 27 Instrument Microphone
 | The Beta 27 side-address
condenser microphone is precision engineered for professional sound
reinforcement and project studio recording applications. Its flat
frequency response and low self-noise provide unerring performance
in demanding environments. A tight supercardioid pattern ensures
high gain-before-feedback and maximum isolation from other sound
sources.

Supercardioid polar pattern
specifically targets the sound source consistently with greatly
minimized bleed from off-axis sound sourcesTailored for superior transient
response from a low-mass, 1” externally-biased, ultra-thin 24
Karat gold-layered Mylar® diaphragmFlat, neutral frequency response
for natural reproduction on stage or in the studio3-position switchable
low-frequency filter helps reduce unwanted background noise or
counteract proximity effect for consistent, extended
lowend-15 dB switchable attenuator
handles extremely high SPLs with easePremium electronic components
and gold-plated internal and external connectorsInternal pop filter with three
separate mesh layers reduces wind and breath noise. |

Type: Condenser (externally
biased)Frequency Response: 20 to 20,000
HzPolar Pattern:
SupercardioidImpedance: 160 OhmsSensitivity (at 1 kHz, open circuit
voltage): -37 dBV/Pa1 Pascal=94 dB SPL
Maximum SPL (1 kHz at 1% THD):1000 Ohm load: 134 dB (148 dB, Pad on)
 2500 Ohm load: 140 dB (154 dB, Pad on)
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (referenced
at 94 dB SPL at 1 kHz): 85.5 dBS/N ratio is difference between 94 dB SPL and equivalent SPL of
self noise, A-weighted
Dynamic Range (at 1 kHz):1000 Ohm load: 125.5 dB
 2500 Ohm load: 131.5 dB
Common Mode Rejection (20 Hz to 20
kHz): > 50 dBClipping Level (20Hz-20 kHz at 1%
THD):1000 Ohm load: 2.0 dBV
 2500 Ohm load: 8.5 dBV
 THD of microphone preamplifier when applied input signal is
equivalent to cartridge output at specified SPL
Self Noise (typical, equivalent
SPL, A-weighted): 8.5 dBPolarity: Positive pressure on
diaphragm produces positive voltage on pin 2 with respect to pin
