The Shure BETA 98H/C Instrumental Microphone is a versatile solution for brass or percussion instruments.

Description

The Shure 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, 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.

Features

  • The Beta 98 H/C features a transformerless preamplifier circuitry
  • The pickup pattern provides high gain-before-feedback and excellent rejection of unwanted noise
  • High maximum sound pressure level (SPL) enables it to handle the extreme demands of brass, woodwind and percussion instruments
  • The Beta 98H/C features a 10 ft (3 m) high-flex cable with attached preamplifier (XLR connection)
  • Tailored frequency response for open, natural sound reproduction
  • Compact, lightweight construction provides a low degree of visibility
  • Interchangeable microphone cartridges are available
  • Gooseneck, ratcheting swivel joint and gooseneck angle brace allow for optimum placement and fixed positioning
  • Legendary Shure ruggedness and reliability
