SHURE BETA 87C Cardioid Condenser Vocal Microphone

FEATURES

• Premier live performance microphone with Shure quality, ruggedness, and reliability
• Uniform cardioid pick-up pattern for maximum gain before feedback and excellent rejection of off-axis sound
• Smooth, wide frequency response with slight presence rise and controlled proximity effect tailored for vocals
• Advanced cartridge shock mount system absorbs mechanical shock and minimizes handling noise
• Very low susceptibility to RF and electromagnetic hum
• Dent-resistant steel mesh grille and enamel coated metal alloy construction resist wear and abuse
• Effective built-in pop filter reduces undesirable wind and breath noise

The Shure BETA87C vocal microphone is precision-engineered to deliver an extremely smooth, extended high-end frequency response in a cardioid condenser design. The warm, natural sound creates an ideal environment for personal monitoring with excellent rear rejection.

An advanced, cartridge shock mount system, hardened steel-mesh grille, and superior build quality withstand the rigors of daily touring and sound reinforcement.
