Add studio-grade clarity to your live mix with the Beta 87A from Shure, a handheld condenser microphone with a tight supercardioid pickup that avoids unwanted off-axis noise and feedback. Sporting a smooth, wide frequency response with a gradual presence rise and bass roll-off, the Beta 87A produces consistent and controlled results for vocals.
With an internal shockmount inside the mic cartridge, the Beta 87A minimizes mechanical shock, avoiding handling noise and sounds caused by accidental bumps. An integrated pop filter reduces plosives like Ps and Ts without any extra accessories, allowing vocalists to remain in view on stage. The Beta 87A offers a wide dynamic range of 117 dB with low distortion characteristics. This microphone features a dent-resistant steel mesh grille and the body is constructed from enamel-coated metal alloy to reduce wear and abuse for years of rigorous touring or studio use. The Beta 87A includes a swivel mic stand adapter and a zippered carrying bag.
Unidirectional (cardioid) microphones progressively boost bass frequencies by 6 to 10 dB below 100 Hz when the microphone is at a distance of about a 1/4" from the sound source. This phenomenon, known as proximity effect, can be used to create a warmer, more powerful sound.
To prevent explosive low-frequency sound during close-up use, the bass response gradually rolls off. This provides greater control and helps the user take advantage of the proximity effect.
