The Beta 98H/C is a premium cardioid condenser instrument microphone that clamps onto the bell of wind instruments or onto the rim of percussion instruments. The integrated gooseneck and ratcheting swivel joint allows the mic to be easily positioned and secured, and an isolation shock-mount reduces the transmission of instrument 'key noise' and other mechanical noise. A gooseneck angle brace is included to provide better retention of the microphone placement during more active performances.IncludesBeta 98H/C Miniature Instrument MicrophoneZippered Carrying BagWindscreenIn-Line Preamplifier3 m high-flex cable with attached preamplifier (XLR connection)FeaturesThe Beta 98 H/C features transformerless preamplifier circuitry which improves linearity across the full frequency rangeThe pickup pattern provides high gain-before-feedback and excellent rejection of unwanted noiseIts high maximum sound pressure level (SPL) enables it to handle the extreme demands of brass, woodwind and percussion instrumentsFeatures a 3 m (10 ft.) high-flex cable with attached preamplifier (XLR connection)Tailored frequency response for open, natural sound reproductionCompact, lightweight construction provides a low degree of visibilityGooseneck, ratcheting swivel joint and gooseneck angle brace allow for optimum placement and fixed positioningLegendary Shure ruggedness and reliabilitySpecificationsType: Electret CondenserFrequency Response: 20 to 20,000 HzPolar Pattern: CardioidOutput Impedance: 150 ΩSensitivity at 1 kHz, open circuit voltage: -56 dBV/Pa (1.6 mV)Maximum SPL (1 kHz at 1% THD), 1000 Ω load: 155 dB SPL, typicalEquivalent Output Noise, A-weighted: 31 dB SPL, typicalSignal-To-Noise Ratio (Ref. 94 dB SPL at 1 kHz): 63 dBDynamic Range (at 1 kHz, 1000 Ω load): 124 dB, 132 dBClipping Level at 1% THD: 3 dBV (1.4 V)Polarity: Positive pressure on diaphragm produces positive voltage on pin 2 with respect to pin 3Power Requirements: 11 to 52 V DC phantom power Shure BETA 98H/C Miniature Instrument Microphone.
