Designed for brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments, the Shure BETA 98H/C is a cardioid condenser microphone engineered to capture natural, open sound with exceptional clarity. Its transformerless preamplifier circuitry delivers linear frequency response across the full spectrum, while the 155 dB maximum SPL handles the most demanding performance environments. The flexible gooseneck, ratcheting swivel joint, and included angle brace enable precise positioning and secure placement, even during vigorous playing. An isolation shock-mount minimizes key noise and mechanical interference. Compact and lightweight, this professional-grade instrument mic includes a 3-meter high-flex cable with XLR connection, windscreen, preamplifier, and carrying bag—everything needed for reliable studio or live performance capture.
