Shure Beta 57A Supercardioid Dynamic Instrument Microphone

The versatile Beta 57A Supercardioid Dynamic Instrument Microphone from Shure enables you to get consistent audio quality, performance after performance, with a warmth and presence that lets you sound your best. The Beta 57A is a high output supercardioid dynamic microphone that maintains a true supercardioid pattern throughout its frequency range, ensuring high gain-before-feedback (even in demanding environments), maximum isolation from other sound sources, and minimum off–axis tone coloration.

Ideal for acoustic and electric instruments as well as vocals, this professional-caliber microphone is designed for sound reinforcement applications and project studio recording. It’s a great miking choice for capturing audio from drums (such as snares and toms), guitar amplifiers, brass, woodwinds, as well as singers.

Enjoy the durability and reliability of Shure-standard quality construction. The Beta 57A boasts a hardened steel mesh grille that helps the mic resist the usual wear and tear of touring while also facilitating the use of proximity effect. A Neodymium magnet enhances high signal–to–noise ratio output. An advanced pneumatic shock mount system further minimizes transmission of mechanical noise and vibration.

Please note - Any Beta drum microphone featuring the letter 'A' following the model number contains a new capsule; as a result, you can expect a more natural high-frequency response.

The Beta 57A is great for:

• Snare drum
• Tom-toms
• Guitar and bass amplifiers
• Vocals
• Brass and woodwinds
