The precision-engineered Beta 87A condenser vocal microphone has a smooth, tailored response for warm, accurate sound. Its supercardioid polar pattern provides maximum isolation from nearby vocalists or instruments.
What is the Beta 87A best suited to?
The Shure Beta 87A is a premium quality supercardioid hand-held condenser vocal microphone with exceptionally smooth frequency response and high sound pressure level capability. It is ideal for a professional lead or backing vocalist either on stage, for live recording or in the studio.
What are the characteristics of the Beta 87A?
The Beta 87A features a controlled low-frequency roll-off that compensates for proximity effect and prevents the “boomy” sound often associated with close pick-up. The tailored frequency responce with its presence rise , brightens the upper midrange and helps the vocals cut through the mix. The tight supercardioid pattern provides maximum isolation from other vocalists or instruments while offering minimal off-axis coloration. It operates on phantom power .
