SHURE BETA 87A

Experience unparalleled vocal clarity and presence with the Shure Beta 87A, a meticulously engineered supercardioid condenser vocal microphone. Renowned for its exceptional sound quality, rugged build, and advanced acoustic features, the Beta 87A is the preferred choice for professional vocalists, sound engineers, and broadcasters seeking pristine audio capture in demanding environments.

Unmatched Sound Quality and Performance:

Detailed Condenser Sound: The Beta 87A’s condenser element captures nuanced vocal performances with remarkable accuracy and detail, offering a warm yet articulate sound.

Tailored Frequency Response: Featuring a smooth frequency response with a gradual presence rise, this microphone brightens the upper midrange, ensuring vocals cut through dense mixes with clarity and definition.

Supercardioid Pattern for Maximum Isolation: The highly consistent supercardioid polar pattern provides superior rejection of off-axis sounds and maximizes gain before feedback. This allows vocalists to perform at high volumes with minimal risk of stage bleed or feedback, making it ideal for loud live settings.

Controlled Proximity Effect: An integrated low-frequency roll-off compensates for the bass boost that occurs when a microphone is used very close to the sound source, preventing a “boomy” or muddy sound while still allowing for a powerful vocal presence when desired.

High SPL Handling: The Beta 87A can handle extremely high sound pressure levels (up to 140.5 dB SPL) without distortion, making it suitable for powerful singers and loud musical ensembles.

Built for the Demands of Live Performance:

Rugged Construction: Crafted with a durable aluminum body and a dent-resistant steel mesh grille, the Beta 87A is built to withstand the rigors of daily touring and demanding live sound applications.

Advanced Shock Mount: An internal shock mount system effectively absorbs mechanical shocks and minimizes handling noise, ensuring a clean signal even when the microphone is moved or repositioned on stage.

Integrated Pop Filter: The built-in pop filter effectively reduces plosive sounds (like “p” and “b”) and breath noise, contributing to clearer vocal recordings and performances.

Low RF Susceptibility: Designed to be very resistant to radio frequency (RF) and electromagnetic interference, ensuring a clean signal in challenging RF environments.
