Shure Beta 87A
Vocal Microphone, Supercardioid Condenser
The Beta 87
microphone has consistently been a top choice of performers and audio
technicians around the world due to its superb accuracy and detail, and
rich vocal production. This long-standing favorite now features a new
design and has been renamed the Beta 87A.
In response to user
requests, Shure has redesigned this microphone by just slightly
thickening the handle for a more comfortable feel when hand-held. In
addition, the Beta 87A now includes the A25D break-resistant swivel
adapter.
The Shure Model Beta
87A is a premium quality supercardioid hand-held electret condenser
vocal microphone with exceptionally smooth frequency response and high
sound pressure level (SPL) capability. Used for professional sound
reinforcement, broadcasting, and studio recording applications, the Beta
87A combines superb performance with the ruggedness needed for touring
and field production.
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 characteristic Shure presence rise brightens the
upper midrange. The tight supercardioid pattern, with null points at
approximately 125 degrees, provides maximum isolation from other
vocalists or instruments while offering minimal off-axis coloration. The
Beta 87A operates on phantom power.

frequency response provides detail, accuracy, and warmth for vocals

accurate supercardioid pattern at all frequencies provides the highest
gain-before-feedback

Vocal Microphone, Cardioid Condenser
The Beta 87 has
consistently been a top choice of performers and audio technicians
around the world due to its superb accuracy and detail, and rich vocal
production. This long-standing favorite now incorporates a cardioid
polar pattern and has been named the Beta 87C.

response to professional demands associated with the use of personal
monitoring devices like the Shure PSM ® Series, Shure's new Beta 87C
premium vocal microphone delivers studio-grade performance and a smooth,
extended high-end frequency response in a cardioid condenser design.
