The Product

The Beta 98H/C is a premium cardioid condenser instrument microphone that clamps onto the bell of wind instruments or onto the rim of percussion instruments. It has an integrated gooseneck and ratcheting swivel joint which allows the microphone to be easily positioned and secured, and an isolation shockmount reduces the transmission of instrument key noise and other unwanted mechanical sound. A gooseneck angle brace is included to provide better retention of the microphone placement during more active performances. It has an integral 3m cable which is terminated in a 3 pole male XLR connector.

Requires phantom power to function.

The Manufacturer

From humble beginnings in 1925 as a radio parts wholesaler in downtown Chicago USA, Shure has grown to become one of the worlds most popular microphone brands bar none. Over and over again Shure microphones have stood the test of time with many of the models having been in production for over thirty years, which is a testament to the original designs. Most musicians, engineers and recording artists at some stage in their careers would have used Shure microphones and today the brand continues to lead the way with the Beta and KSM series.
