Shure Beta 87A wired microphone

A vocal microphone delivering warm, accurate sound. It features a high permissible SPL and low-frequency tailoring to compensate for the proximity effect. Resistant to RF interference. It has transducer shock isolation, reducing handling noise and structural noise.

What is the Beta 87A microphone best used for?
The Shure Beta 87A is a premium quality handheld supercardioid condenser vocal microphone with an extremely smooth frequency response and the ability to handle high sound pressure levels. It is an ideal choice for lead vocalists and background vocalists, both on stage and in the recording studio.

What are the characteristics of the Beta 87A?
The Beta 87A features a controlled low-frequency rolloff that compensates for the proximity effect and prevents the booming sound often associated with close-up microphone use. Its tailored frequency response with a slight presence boost brightens the upper midrange and helps the vocalist cut through the mix. A consistent supercardioid polar pattern provides maximum isolation from other vocalists and instruments, while offering minimal off-axis tone coloration. Requires Phantom power.
