Triple down on your miking setup with the Beta 98AMP/C-3PK Cardioid Condenser Drum Microphones from Shure. Ideal for use with snares and toms, the Beta 98AMP/C is a compact, high-output, condenser microphone for professional sound reinforcement and studio recording. It features an integrated preamplifier with XLR connection, a flexible gooseneck, and is packaged with the A75M Universal Microphone Mount accessory for precision adjustments and minimal stage clutter. This instrument microphone has a wider dynamic range with a SPL level 7dB higher than Beta 98AD/C and the Beta 98A/C.
Featuring an innovative design that streamlines the microphone’s footprint for more flexible placement options and minimal stage clutter, the Beta 98AD/C boasts a frequency response that’s been tailored to drums, percussion, and other applications that require a wide dynamic range in a high-SPL environment. Its uniform cardioid polar pattern provides excellent gain-before-feedback and off axis rejection of unwanted noise for a smooth and natural high-end response.
Beta 98A Models
The Beta 98AD/C includes an A98D drum mount. This drum mount features a flexible gooseneck for accurate placement and secure attachment.
The Beta 98A/C is the same microphone, with the sole difference being it does not include the drum mount.
The Beta 98AMP/C includes an integrated preamplifier. It comes with a flexible gooseneck and the A75M mount
Please note - any Beta drum microphone featuring the letter 'A' following the model number contains a new capsule and as a result you can expect a more natural high frequency response.
