Bring studio-grade vocal clarity to the stage with the Shure BETA 87A. Designed for live vocals, this condenser microphone combines a smooth frequency response with a gradual presence rise to capture bright, detailed sound that helps vocals stand out with crisp definition in the mix.
The BETA 87A requires phantom power to operate. Connect the microphone to a compatible mixer, audio interface or other microphone input capable of supplying phantom power before use.
Its highly consistent supercardioid polar pattern provides focused pickup and superior gain-before-feedback, helping isolate vocals from unwanted sound on stage. Electronic low-frequency roll-off compensates for proximity effect, while the built-in pop filter helps reduce undesirable wind and breath sounds.
A wide 117 dB dynamic range and low-distortion characteristics capture expressive performances with clarity. The advanced cartridge shock-mount system absorbs mechanical shocks and reduces handling noise, while very low susceptibility to RFI and electromagnetic hum helps maintain clean performance.
Backed by legendary Shure quality and reliability, the BETA 87A is built to bring detailed, professional vocal sound to demanding live performances.
