Product Code:
Beta 98/S
|
The Shure Beta 98/S is a
compact, high-output supercardioid condenser microphone for
professional sound reinforcement and studio recording. Its
extremely uniform supercardioid pickup pattern provides high
gain-before-feedback and excellent rejection of unwanted noise. Its
high maximum sound pressure level (SPL) makes it useful for a
variety of instruments including drums, piano, reed, wind, and
string. The Beta 98/S can also be used for amplified
guitars.
The optional A98D drum mount has a
specially designed gooseneck that allows the microphone to be
positioned freely, yet holds it securely in place once the ideal
placement has been found |
