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.

Features |
- Supercardioid polar pattern
specifically targets the sound source consistently with greatly
minimized bleed from off-axis sound sources
- Tailored for superior transient
response from a low-mass, 1” externally-biased, ultra-thin 24
Karat gold-layered Mylar® diaphragm
- Flat, neutral frequency response
for natural reproduction on stage or in the studio
- 3-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 ease
- Premium electronic components
and gold-plated internal and external connectors
- Internal pop filter with three
separate mesh layers reduces wind and breath noise.
