Shure Beta 87A Supercardioid Condenser Vocal Microphone

The Shure Beta 87A is a premium handheld condenser microphone renowned for its smooth, tailored frequency response and superb high-end clarity. Designed for professional live sound reinforcement, broadcasting, and studio recording, the Beta 87A delivers near-studio quality sound with the durability required for the most demanding touring environments. Its precisely controlled supercardioid pattern ensures superior vocal isolation and maximum gain-before-feedback.

Key Performance Features

• Supercardioid Polar Pattern: Featuring an exceptionally uniform Supercardioid pattern, the Beta 87A provides maximum acoustic gain before feedback. This tight pattern offers superior rejection of off-axis sounds, minimizing leakage from stage monitors, instruments, and other noise sources.
• Condenser Capsule Clarity: Unlike dynamic microphones, the condenser element provides the extended high-frequency response and transient detail necessary for truly articulate, studio-quality vocal reproduction on stage. It delivers clear, natural, and accurate sound.
• Tailored Frequency Response: The frequency curve includes a controlled low-frequency rolloff that compensates for the proximity effect, preventing the vocal signal from becoming muddy. There is also a slight presence rise in the upper midrange to enhance vocal clarity and intelligibility.
• Built-in Shock Mount and Pop Filter: The advanced internal pneumatic shock mount system minimizes handling noise, ensuring a clean signal. The built-in three-stage pop filter effectively reduces plosives ("p" and "b" sounds) and wind noise without compromising high-frequency clarity.
• Rugged Construction: Built to Shure's rigorous standards, the Beta 87A features a durable, dent-resistant steel mesh grille and robust construction designed to withstand the rigors of professional touring.
