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
