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 |
