Shure BETA 98A Miniature Cardioid Condenser Microphone
Miniature Cardioid Condenser Instrument Microphone. Includes RPM626 In-Line Preamplifier, RK282 Shock Mount Swivel Adapter and 15’ Triple Flex Cable
The Shure Beta 98A is a precision-engineered compact, high-output miniature condenser microphone for professional sound reinforcement and studio recording. An extremely uniform cardioid polar pattern provides excellent gain-before-feedback and off-axis rejection of unwanted noise.
Both Beta 98A configurations feature high sound pressure level capability (SPL). Beta 98AD/C includes A98D drum mount with flexible gooseneck that makes it an essential, accurate choice for toms, snares, and percussion. Beta 98A/C is recommended for a variety of acoustic or amplified instruments including drums, piano, reed, wind, and strings.
