Shure BETA 87A Supercardioid Condenser Microphone

The Shure BETA 87A is a premium supercardioid hand-held electret condenser vocal microphone, renowned for its smooth frequency response and high sound pressure level capability. Designed for professional sound reinforcement, broadcasting, and studio recording, the BETA 87A delivers superb performance paired with robust durability for touring and field production. Its controlled low-frequency roll-off mitigates proximity effect, preventing the boomy sound often associated with close pick-up. The characteristic Shure presence rise enhances the upper midrange, delivering clear and bright vocals. Its tight supercardioid pattern, with null points at approximately 125 degrees, ensures maximum isolation from other sound sources while maintaining minimal off-axis coloration. The BETA 87A is powered by phantom power.
