More about the Beta98H/C

The Beta98H/C is a miniature microphone that easily and reliably clamps onto the bell of wind instruments or the rim of percussion instruments.

ts preamplifier circuitry delivers high gain-before-feedback and improves linearity across the full frequency range for a tailored response for natural sound reproduction.

Its cardioid pickup pattern isolates your sound from unwanted noise. A ratcheting swivel joint lets you secure it to your instrument with confidence.

Its gooseneck lets you reposition it to the precise angle to capture the best sound, while a gooseneck angle brace keeps it there.

An integrated shockmount isolates the mic from the instrument’s vibrations for minimal handling noise.
