BETA87C Cardioid Condenser Microphone for Handheld Vocal Applications

Style: Cardioid Excellent for touring professionals, the BETA 87C premium vocal microphone delivers studio-grade performance and a smooth, extended high-end frequency response in a cardioid condenser design. The microphone adds warmth to the frequency response and creates an ideal environment for personal monitoring. And its highly consistent cardioid pattern offers excellent rear rejection. Vocalists who use personal monitor systems such as PSM will appreciate how effectively the BETA 87C rejects ambient sound from the rear of the microphone. The Beta 87C premium vocal microphone delivers studio-grade performance and a smooth, extended high-end frequency response in a cardioid condenser design. The microphone adds warmth to the frequency response and creates an ideal environment for in ear personal monitoring. And its highly consistent cardioid pattern offers excellent rear rejection. The Beta 87C vocal microphone. The BETA 87C is an excellent choice for professional studio recording, yet it is built to withstand the rigors of touring. It maintains its performance characteristics even at sound pressure levels as high as 139 dB SPL. Plus, the cartridge is protected by a proven shock mount system. A hardened steel mesh grille with a built-in pop filter provides added protection.
